Well my little brain has been doing a spot of overtime thinking. Especially all things blogging.
I want to try and cover as many topics as i can. Ones i enjoy writing and also what others can relate to and get help from.
These are the ones i have come up with
I have also been writing on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays of late. I think I’m going to just post as and when for a few weeks and see how it goes…i will definitely keep you updated if i start doing set days again.
I hope you’ll join me in future posts
Til next time
Welcome to the weekend
Enjoy it while it’s here.
Don’t get too drunk and silly,
Trust me you won’t remember it
this time next year.
Try and make some memories
and hold them very close,
Make sure you spend it
with the people you love most.
Weekends only come
every 6th and 7th day,
So use them very well.
For when they have gone and its Monday,
It’s welcome back to hell.
Hey guys, It thought I would start off the weekend with a poem and to say I am starting to put together poetry to publish in a book. So I thought I’d get warmed up and write this just for you.
If you have a dream you wish to come true, keep working on it and trust me it will be worth it all in the end.
I found this list on one of my boards on Pinterest so i decided to copy it to my whiteboard and put it in my office as a reminder of all things to keep in mind on a daily basis.
I think if you have something positive written down that you can read time and time again it will eventually be something that you will just believe in and know it off by heart.
You can make a list of whatever is going to motivate you or get your happy head on. I find it quite therapeutic making lists. That’s the nerdy part of me.
If you have a spare whiteboard get creative with yours and make a motivational list/ quotes that inspire you.
Dear Music,
Thank you for always clearing my head, healing my heart and lifting my spirits.
There are times in life when a lyric in a song can pinpoint exactly how you’re feeling or describe a person to a T.
There are the songs that you can listen to that clear all the unwanted rubbish in your head.
That playlist you know will mend your broken heart. The hurt will stop hurting so much the more you listen to these songs.
Then comes the tunes that perk you up no ends that you listen to endlessly to get you pumped up and ready for pretty much anything.
Music you always know how to make things better.
Thank you xxx
All of us have those films that we watch over and over again…
No matter how you are feeling, you put them on and they do all sorts to your emotions. They could tug at your heartstrings, make you laugh, and be super relatable too.
I have put together a small list of mine
you can probably see a theme…
Pretty Woman
I mean who wouldn’t want to meet a gorgeous silver fox who turns your life around, you fall in love with him and just by chance he climbs up the side of the building to say will you be mine.
Now and Then
If you grew up in the 90s you will know this legendary film. Its 4 friends all different in their own way growing up, finding the meaning of life, boys and friendship. It’s one I’ll always love til I’m old and wrinkly.
Dirty Dancing
I would hope that if I was to jump up into someone’s arms they would do the lift. I really love everything about the film, the acting, the songs and the quotes – nobody puts baby in a corner. Damn right and nobody puts Holly in a corner either. ha ha.
Notting Hill
Cheeky but oh so lovely Hugh Grant with Julia Roberts, I am a fan of hers if you couldn’t tell. Its a funny film but also shows that infact someone with a high profile status can fall in love with the average norm or whatever your name may be.
Bridget Jones
The first one hands down will always be a favourite. Bridget is one lucky lady having Mark Darcy swooning over her. This is me and my best friends go to film…we use the quotes to make each other laugh. It’s a film that can really be enjoyed no matter how young or old you are.
The Bodyguard
I love singing along to this film so much. It has my full attention for the full few hours its on. Whitney had that sass about her and those eyes of ‘Farmer’. If you haven’t ever watched this film are you even human?
My Sisters Keeper
There’s always that one film that you love but it makes you cry loads and this is mine. It’s a true eye opener about life with a terminal illness and what a whole family goes through and not just the sufferer. It was such a beautiful film and will always be the one to grab when I feel like getting a bit emosh.
What are your favourites
– New or old?
Thanks for reading, til next time…
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.
I may not be the best at photography and fancy flatlays . But one thing i am is passionate with my writing. Every word that’s written comes deep inside my heart. If i can inspire someone or make them smile then I’m a happy chappy.
They say do things in life that you enjoy and nothing feels better than helping someone whether it’s a bit of advice, something relatable or a funny story of mine that can cheer them up.
Just a short and sweet post

If I’m being totally honest…
I haven’t been putting my all into my blog and I know I’m a poorly person generally but it is no excuse to give less attention to something I love.
So here are a few things I am going to apply from today onwards
Make time in the evening to go through WordPress reader and Bloglovin and read blogs. I do read blogs and comment don’t get me wrong but I don’t do it as often as I should…so I’ll be giving all your blogs some love for sure if I’m following you.
Apply myself a bit more with all social media platforms that I’ve put into a table I made above and make sure I do something every day on each. Its all about the fab people in the blogging community.
I bought my Sony A5000 about 3 years ago and the reason I didn’t spend about 200 more on a more technical one is that I don’t use it to excess…most of my pics are taken on my phone. I do want to start using my camera now the weather is getting a bit better. Then I can share my snaps with you.
Last year I used to take part in a lot of Twitter chats most nights actually and I’ve made some really lovely blogger friends through it. However, I kind of pushed my evenings of chats to one side and like we do get engrossed in YouTube. I need to find some balance for both. Because both are equally as enjoyable…but to be fair twitter chats are interactive so here is my pledge to engage more.
What things do you do to make sure you’re on top of your blogger game?

I believe you need these 5 types of people in your life to have it kind of balanced and with a bit of variety.
The Inspired
Someone who you look up to for what they do and would love to do that for the greater good and for themselves . They make you go yes I want that. They spur you on without them actually knowing. They are admired from afar.
The Passionate
Someone who is really into something and puts their absolute all into making it as perfect as they can. This is done with love as well as effort because they are so passionate about it. They generally give out a real positive aura. They are just lovely people to be around.
The Motivated
Someone who wakes up in the morning with their goals set and their aim is high. They want to smash each and every one of their goals. Then when they are completed, a new list begins. They thrive on being kept busy and love a challenge. Motivational people are great at helping others other than just themselves.
The Grateful
Someone who has a big heart sees the beauty in most things and appreciates the small things as much as the big. They don’t ask for much in life, just happiness and that warm feeling from something or somebody.
The Open Minded
Someone that doesn’t really judge. Who has time for peoples opinions and won’t frown upon them if they are a little bit different. Who you can have a conversation with about something random and the won’t look at you like you have two heads.
Life would never be boring, each and every one would be different and see life in different perspectives.
I’m pretty sure if you look amongst your friends, you will find all five. If you don’t go out and look for them. Live a fruitful life.
