Photowall - A Lockdown DIY Project - #AD #Gifted


wallpaper, decorating, DIY, Photowall, ad, gifted

This is such a strange time we are all in. We can't make any proper plans and the majority of us are now at home everyday, either working or keeping distanced from others. I am working from home and during my tea and lunch breaks I am finding myself wondering around my house looking at each of the rooms and thinking of how I want them to look and what projects I want to take on

It's Been a While... a Reintroduction!

Hello!


I feel like I should be introducing myself again, as it has been a very long time since something new appeared around here. I am not even going to begin to come up with a raft of excuses to explain why as it's very simple. Life happened.

New Chapters

Molly, Dog, New Chapters, New Beginnings, Lifestyle

It seems that all I do these days is begin posts with "not sure why I haven't been posting" or "it's been a while" or other such phrases close to that. All of these things apply again as I haven't posted on here since March 20th. Except this time, I do know why.

Disney Series #13 - Disney's Hollywood Studios - Part 1


Walt Disney World, Disney, Florida, Orlando, 2018, Hollywood Studios

Ah Hollywood Studios! It's always been my least favourite of all the Walt Disney World parks I have been to. It's not that it isn't a great park to visit, as the theming is wonderful and completely different to the other parks, it just doesn't have the same appeal to me. That being said, there are things that I love in it so we ventured back when we went in 2018.

My Reverse Bucket List... So Far


lifestyle, bucket list, reverse, personal,


I was looking through lists of blog post ideas I had written down and I had made a note about a reverse bucket list. I had first seen this on Golly Miss Holly's blog and loved the idea. I think it's so lovely to focus on the things you have done rather than the things you haven't. It's nice to have goals but it's also nice to look back over the achievements you have already.

Dear Diary... #1

Dear Diary....

Where the hell is this month going? How are we over half way through the month already? It feels as though I blink and a week just flies by. Like did February even happen at all?

Putting Lashes To The Test

When FalseEyelashes.co.uk got in touch with me and asked if they could send me out some eyelashes for me to review I was quite excited. It has been a while since I have worn eyelashes and due to the fact that I always wear my glasses these days the idea doesn't always seem appealing.

Hello... again!


update, lifestyle, me, new,

Well hello there! It's been quite a while since I have posted anything on here and I'm not really too sure why that was. I think towards the end of the year work got crazy and in general I just wasn't very good with managing my time. Since Christmas I have been fighting off a few colds and a few other things were happening and time got away from me.

Blogmas #3 - Christmas Blogmas Tag


christmas, tag, christmas tag, lifestyle

A couple of months ago - yes I was planning ahead - I was doing some research for some Blogmas inspiration and I came across the Christmas Blog Tag on Bad With Directions. I thought it would be a fun post to put up on the blog so here we go!

Blogmas #2 - Removing Your Christmas Glam


Nivea, MicellAir, Make-Up Remover, Skincare, Make-Up, Beauty

Doing my make-up is something I love doing no matter the occasion but for some reason I enjoy it even more when I'm heading out somewhere. Christmas season means work parties and nights out with friends which for me means lots of heavy make-up top last me through the night.

Blogmas #1 - I Love Christmas!


Christmas, Santa, Blogmas, Lifestyle

Okay so I know I am super keen about Christmas - even more so this year and I'm not really sure why - but I thought the perfect way to start Blogmas is with a I Love Christmas post!! I have done one of these posts before - which you can read here - but that was three years ago so it's always fun to do again!

Take Time For You

Now that the winter nights have well and truly settled in it can have a really negative effect on your mood. I know for me personally it can be very hard to get up for work in the dark and come home from work in the dark. It can feel like you are missing out on any real hours of daylight.

Disney Series #12 - Epcot Is Epic

Epcot, Disney World, Florida, Favourite Park

 Epcot has always and always will be one of my favourite Walt Disney World parks. Before I went it was the one that I was most excited about going to - although since returning Magic Kingdom has a very special place in my heart.

Disney Series #11 - What I Would Do Differently: Magic Kingdom


Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom, Disney, Thoughts,

Now that I have finished my Magic Kingdom posts - read them here, here and here -, I thought before I moved on to the next Disney park - probably Epcot - I would run through the things that I would do differently the next time I head back to Walt Disney World - see my optimism there!

Blogtober - My Thoughts


blogtober, lifestyle, thoughts, blogging

Hello it's been a few days since my last post on here - 9 days to be exact - and that was because I felt like I needed a little rest after blogtober ended. Once it finished I had a few thoughts about the process and things I learnt throughout the month that I wanted to share with you.

Disney Series #10 - The Rides On My List - Magic Kingdom: Revisited


Popcorn, bucket, Disney World, Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom, Rides, Lifestyle
Before I headed off on my Disney adventure this summer I popped a post up on the blog about the rides that I hoped to do in Magic Kingdom when I got there - read it here. I thought it would be good to look back at it and see what I actually went on compared to what I wanted to originally.

Blogtober #30 - October Review


October, Review, Lifestyle, Look back, pumpkin, carving

As tomorrow will be a traditional Disney Wednesday post I thought I would use today to have a little look back at October and how it's gone. Kind of like a little month review. This is the first month in a long time I have been consistent with my blogging and I haven't given in so it seems fitting to take a look back over how October has been!

Blogtober #29 - My Make-Up Fails - Revisited


Beauty, Make-Up, Fails, Personal, Revisit, Lifestyle


Over three years ago I wrote a post about 'My Make-Up & Beauty Fails' and I thought it would be fun to revisit the post today and see if I have managed to make any improvements on the things that I used to be so bad at!

Blogtober #28 - Simple Micellar Facial Gel Wash


Simple, Skincare, face, wash, beauty, reviews

So it seems that I appear to have been writing a bit of a skincare series on Simple, without even realising it. I have recently popped up a post about the Simple Day Cream and the Simple Night Cream. The next product that I want to tell you all about is their Micellar Facial Gel Wash.

Blogtober #27 - Saturday Rituals


Molly, Dog, Pet, Lifestyle, Saturday, Rituals, Love, Personal, Happiness, Self love, Self Care, Mindfullness

Saturday's are wonderful, or at least I think they are. There is something lovely about them as I don't have to rush around in the dark to get ready for work and I can take things nice and slowly. I seem to have developed a few Saturday rituals and I thought I would share them.
