Double my Savings
The problem with my goals this year was that I didn't record my savings. I think I must have been too excited about 2016 to think ahead like this. So, I am going to assume that my guesstimate is accurate, and if so I think'll I'll be doing OK for doubling my savings this year.
Budgeting
Three words - Out. The. Window. Better luck next time! Although it hasn't hindered my saving efforts just yet.
Exploring New Places
Amsterdam - tick. Paris - tick. Rhodes - tick. Two more adventures are booked for the rest of the year which is very exciting. Edinburgh in September, and New York in October. I think we can firmly call this goal a huge success. Exploring new places has been part of my favourite things about this year so far. I love it!
Braver in Blog Content
I posted about the EU Referendum which was quite brave for me, and I also entered into the very scary world of the OOTD. I'd like to call this one a success, but we still have six more months for me to be even more daring!
350 Bloglovin Followers, 1000 Twitter Followers and 500 Instagram Followers
Much like with the first goal, I stupidly forgot to record my followers at the start of the year to be able to monitor my progress. However, at the time of writing I have reached 305 Bloglovin followers, 728 twitter followers and 436 instagram followers. I'm hoping there's still time to reach my goals.
Widen my SEO knowledge + Up DA to 20
I'd love to say I'm an SEO whizz but alas, I am not. This one's a work in progress, although I really would love to know more. My DA has reached 20 this year, but then dipped back down again (argh Moz you killer) so I'm hoping to end the year on a DA of 20 to make this goal a bit more specific.
So looking at my goals so far, I guess this year has been pretty successful already. Here's hoping the last six months of the year bring me even closer to achieving all of these goals, and that I finally get my arse into gear and learn some more about SEO!
Did you set yourself goals for the year? How are you getting on?
I definitely need to start budgeting and doubling my savings too... I'm pretty bad at it hehe. Thanks for sharing, lovely blog!<3

DeleteJust having a lil catchup of your blog and YAY for going to visit Edinburgh in September! I go back to uni there in September as well and I'm just itching to start the academic year... Also I love how being braver in your blog content is one of your goals! I've definitely tried to do that more over the past few months. I have a lot of opinions, and I need to stop being so shy about sharing them!
