Best Places for Shopping Second Hand*
One of my big thing for 2016 is to focus on where my money is going and what I’m spending it on, I outlined this in my 2016 Resolutions and Goals. One of the things I want to do more to bring my spending down is buy second hand. Clothes, books and even toys for Little Miss. Not only am I giving unwanted things a new home, but they’re usually a lot cheaper than buying new. The one I am really going to focus on is clothes. There are so many places that you can pick up fab second hand pieces. I am always tempted by pretty new in stores…

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…

Disneyland Paris – Disney Magic on Parade
Back in October I headed off to Disneyland Paris with Little Miss, Kariss and Hayley. It’s something we’d had planned for a while and I was looking forward to it. Although it was hard at times as we struggled to find Peter Pan and that was just something LM couldn’t deal with. It was also cold and It’s a Small World along with a few other rides that LM enjoys were closed. But we made the best of it and it ended up being quite a lot of fun. Aside from the beautiful castle, one of our absolute favourite things about Disneyland Paris is the 5pm parade. The music is…

The Perfect January Blues Break in London*
Today the weather is continuing to be absolutely miserable so as you can imaging the January Blues have well and truly set in. Did you know that the January Blues are actually a thing? I could go into the statistics but while researching them I found that they were pretty morbid so lets leave that out. For me, the best thing is a new trip on the horizon. I mean obviously the actual going on the trip is the best part, but I really do love the planning side too. Of course, not everyone can afford to book a trip abroad right off the back of the expense of Christmas…

Little Miss Cosplays Part Four
Today we attempted to take some more photos of Little Miss cosplaying. It’s really hard this time a year because of how dark my sitting room is where I usually take the photos. In fact, today especially it’s a no go due to the storm that has been raging for the past two days. So I cleared a space in the kitchen and managed to get some. I’m not completely happy with them but we did get some that were too adorable not to share. I’m really hoping that once the weather improves we can do a few outdoor photoshoots over the next year and maybe even some of our…
