As my life has changed over the last few months, I’ve had to accept that for the time being I need to adjust to a new slower, pace of life. My body needs all the rest it can get, so right now my partying days are numbered. Yet even with that urge to rest, I
Since redesigning our living room, I’ve discovered just how much of a difference a beautiful bouquet of flowers can make to a room. Flowers add so much life, colour and style to any space, but I rarely do anymore than take my flowers out of the wrapper and place them in a vase with water.
A couple of weeks ago, I was taken on a very exciting outing. After winning the 30plus award, I couldn’t imagine my week could get any better, but little did I know, V had a suprise adventure up her sleeve to celebrate! I’m a lucky girl, it was totally unexpected and a really lovely gesture.
It’s been just over a week now and the news of last week is finally beginning to sink in. Finally, I’ve been able to put a blog post together – it’s been an absolute whirlwind. So, last Thursday I attended my first ever blogger award ceremony – 30 Plus Blog Awards. Hosted at the Charlotte Street Hotel
I can’t quite believe I am writing this, but amazingly, I have been shortlisted for the ‘Blogger of the Year’ category for the 30 Plus Blog Awards. I’ve never been even close to winning an award for my blog before, so to be nominated for Blogger of the Year is just the most wonderful news, I’m
A couple of weekends ago I trundled off to Lewes for a lovely bloggers crafting morning, with local designer Anna Hayman. It was a morning of colourful designs, plenty of tea, home-made cakes and we even got to try our hands at some lino-cutting ourselves! Set in the most beautiful house in Lewes, our small group
My drive to work every day is an hour each way, so I get tired of listening to music or the radio. I often get stuck in traffic and find myself getting more and more tense as the traffic builds, so a friend of mine suggested I listened to Podcasts to take my mind of things
When my friends encouraged me to download Snapchat, at first I was hesitant. Immediately, I just thought it was for kids – I said I’m sure there won’t be anyone over 30 on there and I’m going to feel like a right Grandma. Also, don’t people just use it to send each other naked pictures? I
Yesterday I woke up strangely early for a weekend. With V already at work, I decided to sling on a pair of jeans, my sunnies and go for a photography walk around where I live, to give my new camera, the Olympus PEN E-PL7 a little spin. I often post photos of my favourite spots – the
Royal Canin definitely brightened up our day last week. We had been having a rather stressful week, but when this gorgeous hamper of dog care goodies arrived on the doorstep addressed to Robbie, his happy little face definitely lit up the room. Royal Canin had sent us this lovely hamper, to celebrate the launch of
When MoneySuperMarket recently got in touch to tell me about their One Week Energy Saving Challenge, I was immediately nervous at thought of what it might entail, but being a home owner (and bill payer…. urgh) I was intrigued too. Let’s face it – I love my creature comforts, I’m permanently attached to my phone
Until a few months ago, I have to admit, I used to suffer with an extreme case of FOMO. I didn’t want to admit to it, but I realised it’s actually a real and a pretty harmful thing to feel, if left unchecked. I would often stare at my phone, looking at all the amazing
