I think what I love best about the new year is looking back and seeing just how far you’ve come in the past 12 months. It’s easy to get hung up on everything you didn’t do and the things that didn’t work out, but undoubtedly your life is looking pretty different than this time last year (which is why memory jars are so great).
Take some time to savour every milestone, every new experience, and all of the growth you’ve experienced in 2014.
This has definitely been the biggest and best year for my blog and it’s been so much fun looking back and rediscovering content I’m really proud of. From food and creativity to self-love and style, here’s a roundup of the best of the best, in terms of views, comments, shares, and my own personal bias.

Are You Almost-ing Your Life Away?
Thanks so much for reading and coming on this journey with me! I have so much planned for you and I can’t wait to see what you have planned for 2015.
Love, champagne toasts, & cherry lip gloss,

Reread ones that I enjoyed over this past year – especially the ones dealing with moving abroad. I’ve already highlighted a plan for me to become an expat as well. I will live abroad for a few years (if not permanently). Got my money plan down, in the works to get an EU passport.
One step at time headed to MY future.
Happy New Year Sarah!
