Hopes, dreams and plans for 2013

I am welcoming 2013 with open arms. I can just tell it’s going to be a cracker of a year and I am very, very excited.

As always I have put together my list of hopes, dreams and plans for 2013 and have decided to share them with you.

My personal goals, dreams and plans…

My work goals, dreams and plans…

2013 is going to be bigger and better with some exciting interviews already lined up, lots of great recipes, stories and reviews and the introduction of video tutorials and a cooking e-book.

Returning to Lipstick & Cake…

Friday Favourites // Friday Favourites returns in 2013, bringing you my favourite ‘everything’ from the week.

Products of the month // One of the many benefits of being a beauty blogger is that I get to try, test and review tons of fab beauty products. I’ll share my favourites with you at the end of each month.

Restaurant Reviews // I live by the motto ‘eat well, travel often’ so you can bet that I visit my fair share of restaurants throughout Sydney, interstate and overseas. Stay tuned for some very delicious restaurant reviews.

Competitions // Who doesn’t love a competition! I’ll be running at least one competition per month with some fantastic prizes. Make sure you sign up to the Lipstick & Cake newsletter to stay in the loop on upcoming comps.

Interviews // Interviews have proven to be favourites amongst Lipstick & Cake readers. 2013 will see an increase in the amount of interviews we have on the site and we already have some fantastic guests lined up. At Lipstick & Cake we interview inspirational people, from business brains who have created giant brands, to fellow bloggers and of course a celebrity every now and again.
