Looking Back on February 2016
I think is the first time I’ve ever said that February felt as long as January.. well except the few days we spent at Bee’s and celebrated my unbirthday and the few days I spent in Disneyland Paris.. the rest of the time has dragged but I only know it’s because I’ve been so excited for March! March, the month I spend the majority of time out of the country.. of course I’m excited and it’s finally here! One week today and we’ll be on our way to Florida for 4 glorious weeks! But anyway, back to February.. following on from Looking Back on January post from last month, here…

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…

On Why I Really Hate January
Although this morning I have a lot of emails to reply to from the past few days, I didn’t feel like doing them because my head is all overt he place. So instead I’m giving you one of those rambly posts in hope that if I write things down I’ll start to feel better. January always seems to be the time when my mental well being is shot, I explored my insomnia a few years back, and to this date, it’s still worse than ever during this month. I hate January. I haven’t always hated January, just since my mental health has been in decline post-domestic abuse. I’ve mentioned in…

5 Adult Things I’m Not Ready For*
In March I turn 28. Yes.. 28. Two years from 30. And guess what? I still do not feel like an adult. How I’ve managed not only to keep myself alive, but a small child and a cat, I’ll never know. Some days I still sit around in my pjs, I basically live on supernoodles and coffee (yet my kid has five fruits a day and is a model child in looks and behaviour haha). When it comes to “adulting” I bury my head in the sand and leave everything to the last minute. My hobby includes dressing up and going to conventions. And of course lets not mention I…

2016 Home Improvement Plans*
The start of the year is definitely a time to make some plans for the next year. I’ve already set my blogging goals and my life goals, so I thought I’d do a post about my home improvement goals over the year. Last year I managed to decorate my hall and that was about it, despite saying I was going to tackle my kitchen and my bathroom. However this year I’m going to make sure I actually do some home improvement, especially since I have a cupboard full of cans of paint.. it’s just such hard work on my own. Oh well. So anyway, here’s what I am planning on…
