Hijack My Flatpack!*
So, 2016, the year where I take back my house and make it more into a home. As I’ve mentioned in a few posts this month I’m going to be making a concious effort on really making my house into somewhere I want to be. My itchy feet mean I spend way too much of my time thinking about far off places rather than just what lies inside my front door. So I’m taking back my four walls and turning it into a real home with my stamp on it. One of my biggest issues with my living situation is the fact I’m on a tight budget even when I’m…

Home Resolutions for 2016*
Last year I spent so little time doing anything to my home that I actually felt quite sad. I was so focused on adventures further afield I really neglected our house. I’ve already shared a post about how I hope to improve my home this year, but it really isn’t just that I want to look at. Last year chores became something I saw as an after thought, I bought in things to do some DIY and it ended up in a cupboard under the stairs. The long and short of it is I made some bad choices when it came to my home and as an almost 28 year…

2016 Healthy Life Changes*
One of my goals for 2016 was to maintain a healthy lifestyle to lose weight and become happier with my body image. Because I’m short with a small frame I don’t carry weight well. I have an odd shaped body where I don’t really go curvy more like cube shaped so I know I look better slim and because I know I look better, I feel better. Also, in March I’m spending 4 weeks in Florida which means a lot of eating out and I will no doubt put on weight despite doing a lot of walking. So I’ve been calorie counting 2 weeks past Monday and already I’ve lost…

Home Content // Hotpoint Ultima Fridge Freezer*
One of the signs that you’re reaching adulthood is when you actually get excited about new home appliances. It was funny how full my Twitter feed was of people excited about kettles, toasters, vacuums, washing machines in the days after Christmas. I guess we’re all growing up. All my life i’ve always had second hand appliances. I come from a huge family so there is always someone with a bit more money looking to upgrade while I get their old one. And hey, free or cheap is good expecially in your early twenties. But at some point you have to think of investing in something new (usually about the time…

The 30 Disney Questions in 5 Minutes Tag.
How on earth is it Saturday? I’ve been so busy this week trying to get on top of my life, house and mental health I haven’t blogged as much as I wanted to. I have a list of posts I wanted to get done but I just haven’t managed it! I definitely had bloggers guilt due to not posting but I’m trying to pull some money together for our trips and that has meant eBaying then parcelling up which takes so much longer than it should. Oh well, hopefully I can get things sorted blog wise this weekend. On the plus side I feel so much happier with the content…

What I’d Put In A Girls Night in Gift Basket*
You know some days your friends just have a really bad day and you want to cheer them up? In the past I’ve bought Lush and sent it via the store but it just doesn’t seem personal enough. So with Galentines day on the horizon for those of us who don’t celebrate V-Day why not put together a girls night in gift night gift basket and gather at someone’s house to celebrate each other. Or better yet, split the cost of a hotel room and really go all out. Today I thought I’d share with you what I’d put into my girls night in basket. Since I never have date…
