Outfit of the Day – I Want Adventure in the Great Wide Somewhere
Onto my third outfit post of 2015. I really hope I can keep these up as they’re really helping with my rubbish self esteem. I also can’t believe that we’re into the third week of the year already, doing a weekly series definitely makes you realise how fast time actually goes. It’ll be April before I know it! Anyway, today’s personal style post features possibly my favourite Hot Topic dress. When I was in my teenage years, out of all the Disney princesses I definitely most identified with Belle. I felt like an outsider in my town, even in my only family. I liked books and good food and wine,…

2015; The Resolutions
So, I’m 12 days late to this party too but better late than never, right? Like most other people, with the turn of the year I made some resolutions. Normally I don’t really go in for the whole new year, new you stuff, but this year I was a lot more on board. 2014 was on the whole a good year (with a rubbish tail end) and I want to continue with the good stuff into this year. As Little Miss gets older I want to continue making a better and happier life for us, which means re-evaluating our situation now and then. And what better time to do…

Why My Cat is Helping My Insomnia
Last January I shared my experience with insomnia. A quick recap is that it’s something i’ve dealt with since I was thirteen and it usually raises it’s ugly head when i’m stressed or worried.. but sometimes it’s just there. I’ve always found it stressful in itself which usually gets me stuck in a loop of worried and stressed in case I can’t sleep results in being unable to sleep. It also seems to be more prominent at this time of year for reasons unknown and I do take medication for it, but sometimes it doesn’t help. And I have even tried more alternative methods to help me sleep, such as…

Personal Style – Now I’m Here, Blinking in the Starlight
Week two of showcasing my holiday wardrobe (styled for winter though since it’s freezing cold and crazy windy) and I’m managing to keep up. My trouble with trying to do outfit posts is the time. Firstly it has to be in the morning because a) my hair and make up don’t look like i’ve been dragged through a hedge and b) the light in the kitchen. Then obviously Little Miss needs to be occupied. If she’s having a relatively moany morning I can’t very well spending time in the kitchen with the door shut, I have to be present and ready to play. Thankfully this morning she was happy playing…

10 Things That Were Awesome in 2014
I know, I know, I’m six days late in posting one of these round up posts, but of course I still want to do it. On the whole, I’ll look back at 2014 and know that it was a good year. Yes there were some very low points but for the first time since 2011, the good outweighed the bad, and for that.. I’m extremely thankful. So today I’m going to share my 10 favourite memories from 2014 with you all. It’s time to stop dwelling on the rubbish end to the year I had, and start celebrating the good. These are in no particular order, but obviously if I…
