Looking Back on April 2017
Once again I can hardly believe that’s another month over! I guess because Little Miss was off for two weeks and now my dad’s off the time just seems to be flying. Tomorrow is a bank holiday so LM is sitting in my bed eating left over Easter chocolate and watching her favourite, Hook. The perfect time for photo editing and blogging. This month has been both wonderful and hard. We started the month off in London with one of our friends from Florida and her husband. Prior to her trip we’d only hung out once while she wasn’t at work and I’d never met her husband but they turned…

Elsa Arya Update*
In the past few months I’ve talked a lot about Little Miss, and even a fair amount about my boyfriend but there is one other member of our family who hasn’t had enough airtime, the smallest and furriest member of the family, Elsa Arya. You may need a little recap, but Elsa is our cat and as of November we’ll have had her for two years. Her official birthday is the end of this month though, however we chose to celebrate the November date rather than the day she was born. Although I’m a huge advocate of adopting from shelters (my mum’s cat is a shelter cat), I knew as…

Tips for Leading a Healthier Life*
I’m off to Florida in just over 4 months so I’m starting to think about how I can get myself feeling healthier which should hopefully result in me losing some weight. I wouldn’t say I’m huge, I seem to be keeping a very standard weight and dress size these days but I would love to be a little smaller before I spend two more weeks in the US. Today I’m sharing some general tips for leading a more healthy lifestyle that could be applied to a lot of different people and their walks of life. Cook from Scratch One of the best ways to lead a heathy lifestyle is keep…

UK Coffee Week 11th – 17th April*
It’s come to my attention that this week is Coffee Week! It runs from 11th – 17th April 2016 and is in aid of helping countries such as Rwanda and Ethiopia thrive through the growing coffee culture. As someone who’s diet consists of a lot of coffee (hello insomnia!) I felt it was a duty to bring your attention to this! UK Coffee Week is a nationwide fundraising event that helps give back to the countries that grow our coffee by providing them with fresh safe drinking water, something in the UK we’re all blessed to have access to. All the funds raised this week go to Project Waterfall. You…

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…

Happy Adoption Day Anniversary, Elsa
I could not let today go by without giving my perfect little fur baby a special shout out on the blog. One year ago today my sister drove Little Miss and I to pick up the newest addition to our family, Elsa Arya. Not one day has gone by where I have regretted my decision to adopt her. Although I knew from long before she was ready to go to a new home that she would be mine, and that I would have loved to adopt a cat from a shelter, I feel like she was meant to come into my life. She loves me completely and I don’t need…
