Yes, you read that right! My Life in Turquoise (MLIT) turns 2 today and that is definitely a reason to celebrate. As the title suggests, I have a nail art look to celebrate the blog's birthday, a fresh new nail shape AND a giveaway at the end of this post! I think it is also good time to relfect on the last 2 years and appreciate all the wonderful things that have happened since I started this blog.
PS. I am going to start referring to my blog as MLIT going forward... hope the acronym catches on!

Reflecting on 2013 + 2014
I don't often share details about my personal life on this blog or spend too much time delving into my feelings. The start of a new year, however, feels like the right time to start! I feel like I accomplished a lot for MLIT these past two years but at the same time, I know I want more. Here's a quick list of all the good things that have happened to MLIT:
- I successfully completed the 31 Day Challenge for the first time in 2014!
- 2 of my designs were selected in the Bundle Monster Create Your Own 2014 stamping set!
- I have swatched and reviewed quite a few nail polishes/collections (some purchased by me, some sent to me for review)
- Some of my favourite brands chose to share some press samples for me to review!
- I hosted my very first giveaway
- I finally learnt the stamping nail art technique
- I made new friends in the nail art community (Some even created guest posts for MLIT!)
- My nail art skills and photography have improved so much sinve my first nail art post (if you don't believe me... click here to see how I started)
- AND best of all, so many of you chose to start following MLIT through various social media
Outlook for 2015
Like I said... I want more! I don't have anything defined but I do know that sharing what I would like to achieve in 2015 will help me stay accountable and achieve the goals I set out for the year. So here's a shortlist of everything I want to achieve in 2015:- Review more nail polishes and collections to keep this blog relevant
- Create regular nail art posts! (I may need to join a challenge to find the inspiration)
- Improve my photography skills
- Create a new blog design/layout and update the graphic elements
- Post a weekly/monthly/seasonal feature or series
- Maintain my nail health by regularly caring for my nails (too make breaks and chips in 2014)
- Host more giveaway(s)
- AND Make more friends and meet other nail art/polish enthusiasts!
