- When friends turn toxic
  
  Posted at 5:59 pm by Holly, on August 14, 2018
  Those friends who say they will be there for you in good times and bad, then when the going gets tough they are nowhere to be seen. If you don’t phone/text them they couldn’t give two hoots what your up to or how you’re doing.
  
  There are also the friends that are nice to your face and bitch about you to others behind your back. You don’t need them, even if you have been friends for years. Friends don’t do that.
  
  Here is a list of toxic people you need to eliminate from your life to make it better for you:
  1. Those who spread negativity
  2. Those who criticize you all the time
  3. Those who waste your time
  4. Those who are jealous
  5. Those who play the victim
  6. Those who don’t care
  7. Those who are self-centred
  8. Those that keep disappointing you
  You need to look after yourself and if those people are more of a hindrance than help then you need to say bye-bye. Don’t think you are a horrible person because you’re anything but.
  
  You can choose where you want those memories of them to go, to forget and bin them or to keep them stored away, the choice is yours.
  
  I’ve always been taught to treat people as I want to be treated.

- Letter board picks
  
  Posted at 6:31 pm by Holly, on August 3, 2018
  
  I bought myself a Letter Board a few months ago now to add a bit of character to my room to either inspire or make me laugh. I have a Pinterest board of some of my favourite finds so i thought I’d share them with you here.
  
  I did have a lot more but thought I’d just put a few on.
  
  You can pick up some cheap ones from places like Home Bargains, New look and Primark. I got mine from trusty old Amazon and got a felt background one instead of plastic. It depends on your preference.
  
  Hope you’ve all had a fab Friday.
  
  Heres to a lovely weekend xx

- Chase your dreams
  
  Posted at 5:00 pm by Holly, on July 12, 2018
  
  you are sat there and a Eureka moment happens, or you wake up and have the most wonderful idea running through your mind at a thousand miles an hour.
  
  Quick, grab a pen and paper and get it down on there before it vanishes into thin air.
  
  Put down as much detail as you can about your dream and plan on making it a reality. You know dreams don’t come true if you don’t put in a little effort. If only it was that easy
  
  I am working towards one of my dreams right now. I am writing my second book. I already wrote one about my bullying at school/ a few years after. This time it’s going to be a poetry book as I absolutely love words with meaning. It’s going to be relatable to almost everyone hopefully. I am in the planning process so will keep you updated as I work towards achieving my dream.
  
  Don’t let them pass you by. Your dream was given to you for a reason.
  
  Of course, if they were bad dreams please don’t chase those, let them bugger off into nothingness. Only the good ones deserve your time.
  
  In Gabrielle’s words….dreams can come true

- Hello July
  
  Posted at 8:16 pm by Holly, on July 1, 2018
  
  Hello and welcome to July.
  
  As I’m writing this its the 1st day of the month.
  
  Its been a boiling hot day yet again, so i haven’t been able to sit in the cool and write until now which is 9pm to be precise.
  
  I am one of those people that are all about starting the month on a good note.
  
  I’m taking a week off Facebook so i can concentrate on me and my wellbeing and not worry about what others are doing/moaning about.
  
  I am not going to let myself be walked over like a mug. I deserve better, so the guy who I’ve been swooning over has had far too many ‘I’ll let you offs’. I need someone who worships the ground i walk on…more like wheel myself on ha ha.
  
  This month is all about self love and self care for me. I don’t want added stress. I need to focus on making me a priority for once.
  
  Do this for yourself too. Know your worth and add tax as they say – who ever they is.
  
  Heres to a lovely July for us all
  
  Thanks for stopping by
  
  Til next time…

- Reasons for a week off
  
  Posted at 2:24 pm by Holly, on June 19, 2018
  
  I am sorry there haven’t been any posts in the last week.
  
  I know I don’t need to apologise. I know I have some readers that religiously follow me and a few have asked if I was ok so I thought I would tell you why I didn’t write.
  
  As most of you know I have a few illnesses – One being M.E, which causes extreme tiredness amongst other symptoms. I had a few bad days at the beginning of the week so I spent most of those days in bed recuperating and sleeping my senses away. Not fun in the slightest.
  
  Luckily by the Friday I was feeling a lot more energised and well enough to go to my best friends birthday meal in the evening. This was special because it was a reunion with all my close school friends who I hadn’t been out with since I left school 15 years ago. It was really nice to get out the house with friends and not my mum. They were all taking it in turns to push me in the wheelchair which was a laugh as I was scared I would end up falling off the curb. I had a few alcoholic beverages for the occasion too. Archers and lemonade of course.
  
  Saturday was a I got a hangover head kind of day so I didn’t do very much at all apart from telly hopping and eating junk food. I did do a face mask in the evening, always like to do one once a week to look after my 30 something skin.
  
  Sunday was an Auntie and Niece afternoon. I got to spend it with just me and Daisy. I really love that I can have a conversation with her now and she knows what I am on about. She loves her Auntie Hol and its so nice to feel loved.
  
  Yesterday (Monday) was a long ass day I had to go to hospital to see the people I saw when I had to stay in hospital to see if they could improve the paralysis in my legs. It was a 5-hour round trip for a 30-minute appointment. I didn’t the best news, there’s no cure just need to manage it when it happens, which is very frequent.. I am still smiling, there’s no need to be miserable. It is what it is.
  
  So you can see its been quite a hectic up and down week but I am back now and will try and get a few more posts up this week.

- My May Favourites
  
  Posted at 5:01 pm by Holly, on May 30, 2018
  
  As I am writing this there are 2 days of May left,
  
  It’s been a lovely one especially for the glorious weather we’ve had… I have actually got a little tan coming on.
  
  Here’s what has also made me happy this month.
  
  LOVERDOSE PERFUME
  
  This has always been my number one perfume. I reckon I’ve been wearing it on and off for about 6 years. The bonus this month is that I went into Boots to get some toothpaste and happened to catch a glimpse of this in the perfume cabinet. Normally it retails for £37.00 and it was on sale for £29.99. Safe to say it went straight in my bag.
  
  MY MAY PLAYLIST
  
  These are my top 10 songs that I’ve been loving lately. When they come on the radio I can’t help but sing along. Normally on Spotify I am trying to find songs that take me down memory lane but I thought I would listen to more recent hits and I’m impressed.
  
  DISTRESSED DENIM JACKET
  
  I used to have a cropped denim coat a few years back but then I gained a little bit of weight and had to donate it. I went nosing on all the online shops I could think of to try and find a nice one and this beaut was on ASOS. It is now out of stock so I am so relieved that I got it when I did. Since I bought it if I need a jacket its the one I’ve been grabbing every time. Safe to say I love it.
  
  THE KISSING BOOTH
  
  The Kissing Booth was on my recommended films to watch on Netflix. I decided to watch the trailer and I thought it was quite funny so I watched it. I was quite blown away by how emotional I got. They really thought about the storyline. Its more of a coming of age into adulthood type film but at 32 I must say it had me interested from start to end. I won’t tell you what happened but it’s about a girl, her best guy friend and his hunky brother.
  
  FLOW FREE
  
  I am not one who really plays games but I needed something that was going to be a distraction when a panic attack struck. I stumbled across this game called Free Flow. As you can see above the aim of the game is that you have to connect the same colour dots without interrupting the flow of the rest. It’s one of those games you can easily get lost in and addicted to. I have it on my laptop, my kindle and my phone. It’s definitely one to try.
  
  QUOTE OF THE MONTH
  
  I always like to include a quote that gets you thinking and has meaning behind it and after seeing this one I thought this ones really good I’ll use it here. This one is telling you that no matter what gets your back up or gets you down, if you make the right choices everything will turn out just fine.

- My April Favourites
  
  Posted at 1:02 pm by Holly, on April 27, 2018
  
  Blimey, didn’t April just fly by…
  
  I have had a think of what things I wanted to put in my favourites and here is what I came up with.
  
  You really won’t believe it but I was nosing around our local St Margarets Hospice Charity Shop and what did I spot on the top shelf but this beauty by Alexa Chung. I had borrowed it from our library a while back and it was £15 online so I thought one day I’ll get it. I managed to save my self a huge amount as it was £1.75. I love it and its pink too which makes me even happier.
  
  I had never purchased from everything5pounds.com and then I saw it on twitter I think and thought I would have a nose and I love what I managed to pick up. A grey sweater with ‘Crush on you’ embroidered on the left boob area. A denim mini skirt which will come in handy for back garden sunbathing. Lastly, a shoulder bag with a cloud and a rainbow. Its just big enough for all my bits and pieces. All 5 pounds each.
  
  This is my ringtone I heard it on the Schwartzkopf advert and thought I was such a catchy tune and hadn’t really heard of Jax Jones before. Its one of those songs that gets you in a happy mood.
  
  Ok, we have Roxanne from thebeautykingdom.com
  
  Then its Abi from Ramblingsofablonde.co.uk
  
  Then Sophia from Sophiaaaxo.com
  
  Finally Gail from Gailhenderson.blog
  
  All 4 of these ladies are funny, kind and inspirational in their own way. I enjoy interacting with them on a daily basis and glad to have met them online and hope to have them as friends for life.
  
  I saw this quote on someones Instagram and I instantly loved it and found it on google to save. I know that the majority of people would be beautiful inside out but there’s a minority that would not. Wouldn’t it be cool though if you could actually do this just for an hour or so?
  
  Thanks for stopping by…
  
  I hope you had a fab April and lets hope May brings us plenty of sunshine.

- If your going to do it then do it well
  
  Posted at 3:15 am by Holly, on April 19, 2018
  This quote speaks volumes to me and I hope it does you.
  
  You’ve all heard –
  - Don’t run before you learn how to walk.
  - Take one step at a time.
  - If you do something do it well
  Well they are all trying to get the same message across. That each thing you want to achieve is a goal and you just need to focus on it but don’t hurry it. You want to get there with a sense of I did it and it was worth every step along the way to reach the goal…
  
  You never just tick off your achievements without putting in effort so please just take it steady whatever you are aiming for in life and make sure you wear a smile and have a spring in your step while doing it.
  
  Happy Thursday, thanks for stopping by

- March – Currently Loving
  
  Posted at 12:40 pm by Holly, on March 27, 2018
  
  I actually can’t get over that its the end of March….this year is going so damn fast. You know this is one of my favourite types of posts to write – reflecting on the joyful things from the 3rd month.
  
  – So lets jump on in –
  
  BE MY BABY EU DE PARUM
  
  I only bought this on Friday but I already have fallen in love with it. Primark are smashing it with their fragrances. This was £8 for 100ml – such a summery/ romantic scent. Definitely a must for an everyday perfume. I think I am going to have to get an atomiser so i can have some in my bag as the bottle is rather large.
  
  BURLESQUE SOUNDTRACK
  
  This is a beaut of an album. Burlesque is one film I could watch time and time again, wishing I could dance like that. Cher and Christina are fab in it. The songs have quite a sensual beat. Different…but I like different. My favourite song has to be… The beautiful people.
  
  FEARNE COTTON
  
  I have mentioned Fearne on my blog a few times of late…only because I think she is an awesome human being. I love her outlook on a calm/reflective life. She has a pretty cool podcast out ‘Happy Place’ that never disappoints as she delves into the lives of some well-loved celebs. I follow her on Instagram too. Her stories on there are so relatable and that’s why I think I like her.
  
  SAUSAGES
  
  This is new to me was never partial to a sausage (stop laughing) only a vegetarian one but for the last few times we have been out for a meal I have opted for a nice Cumberland one or two. Pair them with egg and chips and a dollop of mayo and it’s a real yummy dish. A bit unhealthy but everyone deserves a treat.
  
  SAMSUNG GALAXY S8
  
  I had been having some issues with my iPhone 6s for a while with the battery needing to be charged 3/4 times a day. I just had enough and found out how much was owing on my contract. It wasn’t a great deal so I upgraded to a Samsung and waved bye-bye to Apple. However, he is now more of a camera/iPod than a phone. The Samsung S8 is really fantastic I love the ease of it and the extras you can do on there and not on the iPhone. I obviously had to get it in pink cos that’s my colour.
  
  QUOTE OF THE MONTH
  
  This is such a simple quote but has a big meaning. I think that ordinary is boring and if you have something different to you than anyone else that’s what makes you extraordinary.
  
  I hope you all have had a good March

- Don’t be afraid of change
  
  Posted at 11:59 pm by Holly, on March 24, 2018
  
  I know I tell you don’t change for anyone… I still stand by that.
  
  Today I want to talk about making a change for you, and not being afraid of it.
  
  You need to have those special people around you. The ones that would be there for you in a drop of a hat and you vice versa. Not the ones that you’re just wishing had spare time for you.
  
  Comparing yourself to others is the worst thing that you can do. You need to remember you were born this way and ain’t nobody gonna make you a sheep. Start loving wonderful you and love every tiny bit of your life.
  
  You may not be where you want to be. The thing to do is to change the way you think and the way of life you live now and if you aren’t living a happy and fulfilling life then you need to get a plan of action going.
  
  It’s always better to think of all the positive things happening in your life than the ones that are trying to get you down. Focus on the good and forget the bad..or tackle your problem head on to make a negative a positive.
  
  Remember positive people lead positive lives.
  
  Thanks for reading
  
  Until next time…
