| One Pan Pasta Caprese! |
I don't want to make excuses, but here are three. I've had a really busy month, I was stressed about my Dad having another operation (he's fine now) and, well, I'm lazy.
These were my July Goals:
- Create spreadsheet for beauty staples with dates, stockists and best prices ~ NO
Dine at a restaurant I've never been to before!~ YES! We went to Burger Foundry (see foodie pics here), From Orient, La Boca Bar & Grill (see photo in my Just Desserts post) and Borsa Pasta Cucina.- Clear/clean a second kitchen bench-top (whole kitchen goal was too ambitious) ~ Hahaha (NO)
Set up a Letterboxd account and make some movie lists!~ YES! Here's my profile if you're interested!Publish 10 blog posts in July!~ YES!- Make a new (never cooked before) dish every Wednesday, from a recipe ~ NO (I only managed one new recipe, One Pan Pasta Caprese, photo above)
- Read one book (something better than Puberty Blues) ~ NO
- Find and pat a cat! ~ NO! Where were all the cats in July?
- Exercise for 30 minutes every Tuesday and Thursday ~ NO, but I did do over 20,000 steps one day, thanks to excessive walking during our City Break.
- Shopping Spree! Buy new jeans and long-sleeved tops ~ NO
Summary - 3/10 Oh dear!

| Must be too cold outside for my neighbourhood kitty friend. Long time, no see! |
Let's hope I fare a bit better with my August Goals......

- Find a cat (or any animal that's safe to pat) and pat it!
- Walk 5000 FitBit steps every weekday
- Cut and colour my hair
- Compile recipe printouts and cutouts into a folder
- Clear and clean my desk
Don't miss a post!

What are your goals for August?
Well, congratulations on the July you achieved and I'm sure you will do will in August! I swear I clean and clear my desk on the daily and it doesn't seem to help by the next morning. It also fascinates me that you stay up until 11pm??? I wouldn't be able to function if I stayed up that late :(
ReplyDeleteThanks Elle! I've been staying up a lot later than 11pm and I really shouldn't be, hence the goal. So tired lately!
DeleteI have long been in need of a cut but I just keep postponing it, hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling! Let's vow to get a haircut in August!
DeleteI think you should add 'punch a croc in the face' coz that's how we roll lol
ReplyDeleteLOL! Tickle a bunny on the tummy might be safer!
DeleteI'm with you on the bedtimes and now that there's a new cookbook coming your way, you'll have plenty of recipes to choose from! Thanks for linking up to the Ultimate Rabbit Hole.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting and I can't wait to read through my new cookbook! Thanks Sammie! :)
Deletegood luck with these goals! And clean that kitchen! hahah
ReplyDeletePam xo/ Pam Scalfi♥
Thanks! I hate cleaning the kitchen!
DeleteFind and pet a cat!! Hahahaha. That's such a cute goal. Hoping you find one this month!!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I need a furry feline in my life! :)
DeleteI just jumped over to check out your letterboxd profile, I'm a big movie buff and I'm very tempted to set up a profile!! For August, I'd like to bake every fortnight... and get my taxes done (urghhh)
ReplyDeleteIf you're a movie buff, definitely set up a Letterboxd account - it's fun and helpful! Good luck with the baking and taxes :)
DeleteI've got no idea of what Letterboxd is??? Is it something movie related?
ReplyDeleteWell done on the goals you did achieve in July! I'm a bit scared to publicly write my everyday/decluttering etc goals down, it takes me so long to get to some of them. Last night I did some household filing that dated back to February! Lol!
Yes Letterboxd is purely for movies; you can make lists, keep a diary so you know what you've watched and when (and what you want to watch!) LOL at your Feb filing, better late than never, though!
DeleteOh I like this owning your monthly goals on the blog. Great idea. I'm a little scared to do it myself though ha.
ReplyDeleteIt's really helping me keep on track with longer-term goals, as I'm pretty good with my Daily To Do list :)
DeleteI honestly love reading through your goals list every month! It always reminds me randomly of things that I need to try/get done myself! DF xox
ReplyDeletePS, I think the cats have been on my street lol

Yay, thanks, I'm glad someone likes reading them! PS - so *that's* where all the cats are! xx
DeleteCan I guess that the first goal crossed off is the buying new clothes? And did you read a book and it just wasn't better than Puberty Blues, or did you not read a book?
ReplyDeleteNo, it's compile my recipes into a folder! Already done! Sadly, I didn't get around to reading a book at all :/
DeleteI need to do something similar. I've just had to track a 5 day schedule/to-do list with a journal reflection afterwards for my business course. It certainly was an eye opening exercise and it has made me realise that I need monthly goals as well as weekly goals and to be more flexible in the day to day schedule.
ReplyDeleteGood luck setting your goals. I am definitely more organised since I started making monthly goals, so it's really a huge positive for me.
DeleteLove the new look blog - I hope your dad is on the mend! A new hair-do makes all the difference!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Emily! My Dad is good now. Yep, can't wait to cut some hair off and lighten it up!
DeleteVery interesting post to read! It's always good reviewing goals to see how much you've achieved :) Are you going to cut your hair really short or just a trim?
ReplyDeleteThe shortest I'll go is a long bob, but I'll probably even chicken out of that and just take two inches off!
DeleteI think you did pretty well with your goals. It makes me giggle that you couldn't find a cat to pat, mine is constantly under my feet :)
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had a pet in nearly a year now! I didn't think it would be this hard to find random animals to pat!
