New year resolutions are often easy to come up with but then become increasingly harder to maintain as the year goes on. I remember years ago making a 10/20 item-long list totally telling myself I would stick to them all – depsite not having done so any of the years previously. It then just got to a point where I stopped making them. But then, one of the numerous good things about the blogging/bookstagram world, I kept seeing people posting about their new years resolutions and people were really focusing on realistic, consciencious resolutions. So I thought to myself, why not give it another try this year?
