As we reach page 365 of the 2015 book (I wonder if anyone actually managed to keep up that thing), we can't help but look back at how the year has been for each of us. I love how my blog has made it easier for me to reminisce on things, especially since I love browsing through old photos. But I have always been more active on Instagram over my blog, so I thought of sharing here some of my 2015 snaps.

Most of the photos I included here are those that [will] never make it to the blog in the form of full-length posts, especially the outfits and foodstuff. I have been trying (and giving up, alternately) with maintaining a clean feed, but I can never seem to master the trick haha. Oh well, I believe that while the edits may not be spot-on, the story behind each photo is worthy enough of being posted. As most of us know, a controversy regarding social media has grabbed headlines not quite recently. While I understand the person's side and her struggle, I honestly believe that social media in itself is not evil. Sure, it has its pros and cons-- nothing is perfect; but really, it's all up to how we use it, not how we let it use us.
In line with the upcoming year, I also gave my blog a makeover!! It's not too drastic, just streamlined the look and added some more features (check out the menu bar-- had to tap into my rusty CSS/HTML skills for that lol). I also subtly incorporated the Pantone 2016 colors-- Rose Quartz and Serenity-- in my blog's layout! Let me know what you guys think below :)
2015 sure has been a great year for me, but I have a feeling 2016 is going to be even bigger! How was your year? Just remember, let go of the bad memories and bring with you only the good times. Let us all congratulate ourselves for making it through 2015, and welcome 2016 with open arms and an optimistic outlook. Wishing everyone a prosperous new year!
