Pyjama Party

Hello everyone!

I love any excuse to put my pyjamas on!! I have a week off work next week which I am very excited about!! What better to do then have a little pyjama party!!!

I got a few films, books, and snacks ready and put on my favourite pyjamas and snuggly socks. PJ parties are great fun with friends or alone. I particularly enjoyed bit of alone time today whilst my sister was at work. Although I must admit I didn’t watch a film or do any reading. Instead I listened to Disney songs on Spotify!! I love Disney films and I’ve just made a Spotify account, so I was very excited to find a Disney playlist!!!

I’m definitely planning on having another pyjama party soon!!

See you soon!

Always look on the bright side of life

Hello everyone!

It is safe to say this week has been crap! Everything seems to have gone wrong! Work was super stressful all week and when I have been at home I always seem to be working or waiting around for people. I have dwelled on the bad things that have happened in the past week but perhaps I should have been focusing on the good things that have happened?

I thought I would share 5 things that have made me happy this week.

1.    I finally finished a book that I have been reading for ages, it was an amazing book and I will be doing a book review on it soon!

2.    Catching up with Vlogs on YouTube. This is one of favourite down time activities and it was really nice to have the time to do it.

3.    Having a Lush bath! I love relaxing in the bath with my favourite Lush products, it was nice to make the time this week to relax.

4.    Tidying the house up and making it cosy and relaxing. I always feel less stressed when the housework is up to date.

5.    Drinking tea! I seem to have had so many cups of tea this week! Sitting down for a nice cuppa is my favourite way to have a peaceful five minutes to myself.

So even though I thought that this week was really rubbish, there have been things have made me happy!! It’s important to look on the bright side of life and think about all of little things that have made us happy!

See you soon!

Random Acts of Kindness

Hello everyone!

I thought I would share a quote with you today! I’ve seen this quote around quite a lot recently, on Pinterest, Facebook, and most recently in my Sprinkle of Glitter diary.

It’s a quote that I have always thought to be true but not always lived by. I know that our actions strongly affect others our actions also affect the person that we are going to become.

I have a little confession to make. I sometimes feel like I am a bad person. My mum came to visit at the beginning of this week and we ended up arguing. I wanted us to do something ‘fun’ but I hadn’t really told her or anyone else for that matter, that I had wanted to do something different for a change. I then got mad because we didn’t do anything ‘fun’. I really upset my mum because I was selfish. I think that makes me a bad person.

After thinking a little bit more about this I feel like it is the perfect time for some random acts of kindness!! I feel like I want to do some nice things for some nice people! Starting with my mum!

Random acts of kindness are things that anyone can do! Doing something kind to show that you care! They can be as simple as buying flowers or baking a cake!! I want to set you all a challenge to do one random act of kindness this weekend and see how you feel!

See you soon!

Green Fingers!

Hello everyone!!

Last week I spent quite a lot of time in the garden. I thought I would share some photo that I took! I planted a variety of vegetables which I’m hoping will all grow!! I’ve always enjoyed spending time in the garden getting my hands dirty, and it makes me really happy that I can share it with you!

I will share some more pictures when things start growing!!

See you soon!

Look Ahead

Look Ahead

Hello everyone!!

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about planning for summer, I had planned this post a few weeks ago in one of my many planning sessions. Since then I spent some time (a hell of a lot of time tbh) on Pinterest. I came across this…

(source)

I guess it kinda made me think that I am quite guilty of waiting for good things to happen! I have all kinds of fun and exciting things planned for summer! But why wait for summer? Quite a lot of the things I have planned can be done on a weekend, I don’t need to wait for the summer holidays.

Here are a few of my ‘summer’ plans!!

•  Build a blanket fort and have a movie night
• Have a picnic
• Go to the beach
• Make cocktails and drink them in the sun
•  Water fight
• Have a BBQ

I can definitely do some, if not all, of these things before the summer! And that would give me more time in the summer to do even more fun things!!

Let me know if you have any plans to do any fun summery things!!

See you soon!

Wondering about a new topic

Hello everyone!!

I’ve been wondering over the last few weeks about adding a new topic to my blogging schedule. I wanted this blog to be very much a lifestyle blog based around my life. Currently I big part of my life is getting fit and losing weight. I wasn’t sure if this was something that I wanted to blog about or not. I guess I could give it a go and if it doesn’t work out then I’ll just stop blogging about it.

I weighed myself this morning. I weigh 18.2 stone. That is a lot, a very lot. I’ve always been overweight but over the last five or so years I have struggled a lot more with it. I have lost weight in the past, but I end up putting it all back on again. Right now I guess I’ve reached the point where enough is enough. I will lose weight for good!!

I don’t know how regularly I will be posting specifically about weight loss I will just see how it goes. I will however be posting things such as healthy recipes, fitness tips, and various other things are relevant to weight loss and my life!!

I hope you will enjoy my posts about getting fit but have no fear, my other usual topics will still be as regular as ever!!!

See you soon!
