2015 has been a great year for me. I celebrated some great results in my law course and am continuing my studies at a higher level. I said goodbye to my part time bar hours which was sad as it was a job I loved, but I started my career with a full time job in property law. I've learned a lot in my new job and I'm still really enjoying it. After a long while off I finally decided to start learning to drive again and am hoping to take my test early this year so I can get my car off of the drive. Along with that I think I've learned a few life lessons, I spent a lot of my teen years waiting for 'life' to start but I've realised that I might not be where I hope to be in the future yet, but enjoying the journey is a big part of life. I've taken a lot of opportunities and lived in the moment a lot during 2015 and I hope to do the same this year.
2015 has been a good year for Girl About Village, I started this blog a few years ago but never stuck to it. This year I finally started regularly posting (though it did dwindle towards the end of the year due to a lot of life changes) and I hope to keep it up this year. I found my love for writing and photographing and I love having this as my little project that I'm always thinking about and planning and hoping to improve. So today I've decided to a post of few of my favourite posts from the last year to look back on.
My second post of last year (which wasn't actually until March) was a review of my first (and only) Mac lipstick. I really like this as I tried to experiment with my photography and tried a lip swatch. I don't think its the best of quality but I really enjoyed everything about creating this post and its quite nice to look back at.
I'm really seasonal with my makeup, pink eyeshadow for spring and red lippy for Christmas. This was something I totally intended to keep up throughout the seasons and unsurprisingly I didn't. I hope that I can continue this year.
I love face of the day posts, I love creating different looks with makeup and I think you never know how well a product works until you see it on the skin. This was a look I wore to a McBusted concert, which was absolutely amazing they completely rocked my world (like they always do). This was quite a short post, but I think sharing a look for an event gives me the perfect balance of beauty and real life because I get the excuse to stick some personal photos and opinions on whatever I did.
I'm not sure if I'm really allowed to include my Project 10 Pan as a favourite post, because I've such a fail at updating it. I found out about panning challenges this year, the idea is to challenge yourself to use up products in your makeup/ beauty products. I love treating myself to makeup, but the whole idea of having makeup is to use it and this has really helped me. I do have an update coming soon and I hope to continue panning this year.
This was such a fun post, and such a fun day. I think shaking things up with a different post is a good way of keeping my blog fresh. I love sliding around in the sun so much that this post was so easy to write the words just rolled off of my fingertips!
My 5 Looks 1 Palette post is the most I've worked hardest on ever, on 5 different days I showed a different look and tried to incorporate as many colours as I could. The Makeup Geek Palette was perfect for this as there's so many shades to chose from. I love experimenting with makeup and this pushed me to use colours that I might not have before. I also think this was a better way of reviewing a palette because I don't think you know how good it is until you see it on the eyes. I really hope to try this again this year.
It was my mission for such a long time to find the perfect mid toned pink it all came together. I really like this photo as well, and I found it so fun to review all of the lip colours at once!
My Current Fashion Favourites
Fashion was something I always wanted to include on this blog, but taking photos in a small bedroom with bad lighting makes it so tricky. It took a lot of work and perseverance for this post I had to wait until I had the right light and make a camera stand with various books etc and then stand awkwardly for 10 seconds before the timer went off. This is something I really want to work on and I hope to share more fashion posts in the future.

My last favourite was a post about my favourite place in the world! This post is special to me because I had such an awesome time with my family, I loved all of the photos I took here and it was nice to have a blog to share them on.
