UK lifestyle blog discovering real life experiences
Let it all go. You’ll feel so much better once you figure out how to. Even if it doesn’t feel like you can right now, eventually you’ll find the strength to. It starts with controlling how to react to other people’s actions and opinions towards you. You need to remember that its their deal. Let …
It might only be Tuesday but hang on in there. Sometimes weeks can feel so hectic that you don’t really feel like you get any ‘me time’ to relax. As someone with hypertension, which is now controlled, I’ve seen and felt what a toll stressful situations can have on your body. Inside and out. But …
Sitting here wondering what to write when deep down you’ve had an idea of something you’ve been thinking about writing. You hear the sentences through your head on your way home from work. But getting to grips with how to put it all together is another story. So here goes. This is going to be …
This weekend it was Danny’s 25th birthday so it gave us more reason to look forward to the k hok holiday weekend. On Friday I had my 24 hour BP monitor on but I got to take it off at 7.30am the next day. So that didn’t get in the way of anything. Although, I …
Body confidence. One minute I’m okay with it. And the next, I find myself in tears wondering when I’m going to accept my body image for what it is. Body confidence is something that people don’t always talk about. It’s thought about so much. But you don’t always see people openly talking about how they …
On St George’s Day, 23rd April 2018, I’ll be turning 24-years-old. Since my birthday is approaching, I wanted to take a look at my favourite things I’ve learnt and discovered during life as a 23-year-old. The last year has been of my best yet but also brought lots of challenges too. I think I look …
Okay I do this one a lot, especially at this point in my life. But does anyone else do the same thing? Someone/something stresses you out. But you don’t stop to think for a moment that if it’ll matter tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year? You also don’t think to wonder if anyone …
The 1st April is upon us already. No April Fool’s, it’s actually here. And that also means it’s time for me to wish you all a happy Easter! I remember when I was little and I would be so excited for Easter because of all the chocolate. Fast forward to now and all I wish …
Happy places, we have them all right? But if you had to narrow it down to just 5, where would you pick? For me, it can wherever there’s sunshine and a nice long beach. It can also be a relaxing soak in the bath with peace and quiet. But I’m going to list the places …
This post has been written for International Day of Happiness. When I was a little girl I used to wonder what was beyond the happiness I had then. I remember the time my face lit up when I got a purple bike for Christmas or the time before that when I had this huge Crayola …
Three months into 2018 and it’s proving to be very exciting already. It doesn’t seem like two minutes ago since we were preparing for Christmas. The chaos of getting everyone’s Christmas presents and wrapping them. And now, we’re looking forward to spring (hoping that the weather starts to be more spring anyway). I’m not sure …
Until a week or so ago my self-love levels were extremely low. I felt like things were changing. I got back into that place where I disliked loads of things about myself. Telling myself I looked ugly in that outfit or that I’m not good enough so I chose to hide away. I’ve learnt that …
You don’t need me to tell you that its Wednesday 14th February – Valentine’s Day. I’m sure some of you are thinking, “Oh here we go again. That day of the year where couples are devoting their love to one another.” Go back over 5 years ago, Valentine’s Day was just an ordinary day to …
Me and Danny took a trip to Dublin for 3 nights. You may have already known this if you came across this post. We stayed in a superior room at Aspect Hotel, Dublin ParkWest. See my review on TripAdvisor. We flew with RyanAir and it was short flight as you can imagine from Manchester to …
January blues are all around. I’ve seen a lot of people over social media saying that they can’t wait for January to end. And then there have been others who say that, we shouldn’t wish our lives away. Well, even though January has seemed extra long in a way, I’ve actually enjoyed this month. The …
As I’m writing this, its Sunday 14th January. Can we all just take a moment to think about how fast 2018 is going already? Some might think, it’s only 13 days into the New Year. However, to me, Christmas feels so long ago. It’s as if it just popped by, said hello, then went within …
In November 2016, I wrote a blog post reflecting on achievements and how I’ve been shaped into the person I am today. Each year it’s good to think about what the future holds. Sometimes we can’t control what happens in our lives but we can try to make things better and just hope that better …
Here we are again, another brand new year to welcome us into the unknown. Will Alicia Keys tour in the UK, who knows?! Will I stop eating pasta and all those carbs? Probably not, don’t be silly! But as I mentioned in my blog post prior to this one, I do aim to get back …
What lessons have you learnt this year? Yep, that’s another year that’s nearly over and done with again. I used to think I couldn’t quite believe it but then there comes a time when you realise how fast time can go. And you learn that time is so precious. One of my biggest goals for …
Today I’ve been thinking about what to write. What do I want to share that’s new, something I haven’t done before… that’s when strengths and weaknesses come into my mind. We all have them so it’s a topic for anyone to discuss about how they feel about theirs. Sometimes, no matter how hard you want …
