This has to be the single-handed cringe thing I have done. Guys, I made a video. Yes, that’s right. I made a brand spanking video about all the gifts I got for Christmas this year. After speaking with Leanne from The Dress Diaries I couldn’t help but think, “hey, Imma gonna do a video and see how this shit goes down.” So I present you, a really dorky video of me talking about the things I got for Christmas, cos we all wanna know what Santa brought to us under the tree, am I right?
I think a lot of the time people really focus on the negative sides of blogging. For me there are a few things I’d change but hey, who am I to say what should and shouldn’t happen within the realms on the blogosphere? It’s brought me some fantastic opportunities such as a trip to Madeira in March 2016, wonderful weekends away and beautiful clothes to wear. I haven’t even got to the part where I gush about the wonderful friends I have managed to make through it. I’m very rarely one for showing my softer side, I am very ”jokey” IRL and some people might feel that I’m very brash and sometimes a little too loud. But that’s me & people just have to accept that.
This post is highly satirical. Full stop. As a long-serving blogger of 4 and a bit years I have seen the Blogosphere change completely, what used to be about the written word is now about appearances, numbers and social media too. I for one have been sucked in and I am guilty as charged when it comes to everything that I’m about to type. So join me on this quest to laugh at ourselves and the Blogging Cliches that have become us.
You know when you look outside and the weather is just grim and there’s not a lot you can really do, especially for someone who likes to be outdoors just like me, that the only thing on the agenda is a good movie night in. The guys at PlusNet and the BFI are celebrating blockbuster season right through from September to December so it seemed the perfect opportunity to put on a film and get some popcorn in the microwave. When it get’s halfway through the month and funds are a little tight, dimming the lights and putting on a good film is a great idea for a date night that doesn’t cost the earth. All you need to do is get some candles lit, the fire toasted up & a big duvet and you will be all set to go.
I turned 26 on Wednesday just passed. I had a mini-meltdown about turning twenty five. What was I doing with my life? Where had that quarter of a century gone? I was in turmoil. But this year I reached my twenty-sixth year without a care in the world. This time, I knew it was about making the most of my years rather than worrying about them. With that in mind I realised I need to now start treating my body as though it were a temple (excuse the pun!) so when Temple Spa got in touch with me to see if I would test drive some of their skincare such as the Self Defence Cream, I felt obliged to say yes. After all, this was a good place to start on looking after myself a little better.
