Getting My Bra Fitted At Debenhams #knowyoursize

March 7, 2016

Thanks to my recent weight loss, my boobs have got loooooads smaller. How come all the weight comes off the fun parts first?! As a result, all of my bras are now feeling super uncomfortable and gaping over my cup. Not an attractive look, by any means. I was so skint throughout February that I couldn’t afford to buy myself any new underwear so when pay day rolled around (and coincided with a much-needed day off work to myself) then I took myself off to Debenhams at the Metrocentre to get my bra fitted.

Mother’s Day: Life Lessons I’ve Learnt From My Mum

March 6, 2016

Happy Mother’s Day to Mums and Mums to be out there! Seeing as I’m not actually in the UK with my Mum this year, I thought I’d do a Mother’s Day post from the heart and share the top things I’ve learnt from my Mum over the years. Not everyone is lucky enough to still have their Mum or be close to their Mum, but I speak to mine almost every day. I wanted to share the life lessons I’ve learned as I’ve grown up to the almost thirty-year-old I am now.

Best Bits: February 2016

March 3, 2016

February – technically the shortest month of the year, but I often find it feels like the longest. And this year it has felt like the longest it’s ever been in my existence. It’s still so wintry and cold, I’m totally skint because I’m dying to treat myself because of the cold miserable weather and I generally don’t have a social life because I hate going out in the cold. Did I mention the cold?

Anyhoo, I may have been a bit of a miserable bugger this month but this post is a look back on all the GOOD things that have happened this past month to keep up the positive vibes. So what did I get up to?

What’s In My Handbag?

February 29, 2016

I have only recently discovered that what’s in my handbag posts are a thing, but I actually love them! I tend to cart around quite a lot of stuff in my arm candy – and the bigger the bag, the more stuff there is – but looking at other people’s posts makes me think I’m not quite alone on that one! So what’s in my handbag now?

Health: Personal Trainer Progress Six Weeks On

February 26, 2016

I can’t believe it’s been six weeks since I started this crazy plan. Six weeks since I ate chocolate. Six weeks since I munched on toast and peanut butter without a care in the world. Six weeks without ice cream. Six weeks without grande decaf soy lattes from Starbucks. How have I survived? How have I coped without carbs in my life? Is it even bloody worth the effort? Have I even lost any weight?! Fear not, I’ve included some stats, because that is totes the juiciest bit.

Travel With Me: A Weekend in Rio de Janeiro

February 18, 2016

Rio de Janeiro! I never thought I’d get a weekend there, but life has its ways of throwing AWESOME things in our path, so I took full advantage of my serendipity and booked a spur of the moment flight. To be fair, I was already in Sao Paulo so it was less than an hour to go there. Irresistible.

Beauty: Trying Too Faced For the First Time

February 15, 2016

Too Faced – a brand I’ve heard loads about but never got my hands on before. All that changed with my recent trip to TK Maxx – a shop that is fast becoming my favourite place to pick up some make up bits from! I never used to like rummaging, but recently I’ve found some great bits and bobs from there – both clothing and make up. Of course you can never predict what you’re going to find in there, but I have a *very* long make up wish list, so there’s always something in there I want to try! Anyhoo, on to the good stuff. What did I get from Too Faced?

Maxxing Out My Credit Card: Shopping at TK Maxx

February 11, 2016

I must admit, TK Maxx is a store that I don’t often frequent – I like rummaging as much as the next person – but I’ve got to be in the right frame of mind, plus you never know what you’re going to end up with. Despite all this, I thought I’d try my chances at my local store to get a new jewellery box (a surprisingly difficult purchase!).

February Reading List

February 8, 2016

There is nothing like a pile of books to start the New Year with and I’ve been lucky enough to be gifted a fair few for my birthday and Christmas that I’ve yet to read. January has been a tiring one, with my new nutrition and fitness regime so I’ve not managed to read much this month! I normally read before bedtime – but I’ve been gone as soon as my head hits the pillow this month. So my reading list is still canny big!

Best Bits: January 2016

February 3, 2016

I absolutely LOVE writing these posts. They give me a minute or two to just reflect on what’s been going on in the past month and remind me of all the awesome things I get to do in life. It’s kind of like a once a month, bumper diary entry and I find it really uplifting. So if you’ve never written one before, then get on it!

Maybe it’s the sunshine on this day as I write, but I’m feeling pretty good about January 2016. I’m on the countdown to the wedding, I’m kicking ass in the weight loss and toning up departments and January has actually gone pretty quickly for the most hideous month of the year. It can’t be that long until summer now can it?!
