This morning I woke up and realized that it was a last day of 2015. I will probably have a quiet but enjoyable celebration of coming 2016 New Year with my husband. I read my post from last year and it inspired me to reflect on 2015. It seems like I have achieved most of my aspirations from last year. Traveling was probably the highlight of this year. Locally I traveled to... Melbourne Sydney Byron Bay, Lennox Head and Ballina Stanthorpe Internationally I went to... Austria Home (Ukraine) New Zealand There was some new experiences...like music festival (I went to the Future in March and had so much fun) ...and wine tour in New Zealand (Central Otago) ...and embraced a new hobby of growing orchids Financially I seems to be better off too. All but one credit card have been paid off and cancelled. My remaining credit card has very low limit and gets paid off in full each month. I use it for travel etc. bu...

 Today is the last day of 2014 and what a year it was! It was full of ups and downs, self-discovery and life changing events. Most of all I had exceptionally good-looking diary pictured below :) I regained my self-esteem which helped me to find a new job I quit my old job of 6 years that was going nowhere and was ruining me financially as I was forced to take a lot of unpaid leave and reduce my hours.

Now I have only 1/3 of the original debt remaining and planning to pay it all...

I can't believe it is 2013 already! 2012 wasn't an easy year but I've learned a lot from it Here is a short recap of highlights - We got engaged after nearly 5 years together - Went to Sydney for 3 nights and had very good time (it was my fiancé's first trip to Sydney)  - My other half finished his PHD and got a relevant job (after 9 months of searching). Very happy and proud of him! - We went to Tasmania - I started Michelle Bridges 12 week challenge I made few resolutions at the beginning of 2012 and nailed most of them! I feel very good about it :) - I definitely drink more water and it became my primary drink of choice (I barely ever touch Diet Coke, Juice or Energy Drinks) - I became fitter and stronger! I usually go to the gym 3 to 5 times per week - I eat out less and bring lunch with me more - I definitely spent less money on make-up and related products this year and managed to use up over 50 items In 2013 I want to accomplish th...
