- Stand out this summer
  
  Posted at 5:00 pm by Holly, on August 15, 2018
  
  We are so lucky to have this lovely sunshine in the UK and we all love to visit the beach to make the most of it, and top up our tans.
  
  I bring you this beautiful Peacock paradise designer swimsuit by Delores Cortes which i was kindly sent to feature on my social media platforms from ukswimwear
  
  It is a top Spanish brand in swimwear and to give you my honest opinion i wouldn’t usually pick such a colourful costume. When i saw this one on the website i thought it stood out and would go really nice with my hair colour and my skin tone. I wasn’t wrong. I really like how it looks.
  
  I wanted something i could feel comfortable in as i spend most of the time in a wheelchair and this one doesn’t disappoint. It’s so very well made. As you can see it’s low at the back, i myself have a few lumps and bumps here and there but it holds you in all in the right places.
  
  Bear in mind it comes up small as it comes from Spain and is different sizing to the UK.
  
  I am usually a size 12 but decided to go for a 14 just to be on the safe side and it fits a treat.
  
  I definitely recommend having a nose on the ukswimwear website as there are swimming costumes to suit any budget. They do bikinis, kaftans and cover-ups too.
  
  But please remember a swimsuit isn’t just for the summer it’s for all year round.

- Body Beautiful
  
  Posted at 8:49 pm by Holly, on July 18, 2018
  
  You know the moment you can stand infront of the mirror and stare at your reflection and think hmm it’s not a bad looking body after all. That’s when you know that body confidence is starting to grow from inside you.
  
  I’ve found some inspiration on good old Pinterest with some quotes that will help you recognise the true body beautiful that is yours and then use them to motivate that self love in you.
  
  I can hold my hands up now and say after years of not loving my imperfect body you my darling body you’re bloody awesome. Operation scars, cellulite, stretch marks and the odd spots.
  
  I give you this mission to find the body beautiful within you too.

- 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
  
  Thanks for stopping by
  
  Til next time…

- CURRENTLY LOVING – MY JUNE FAVOURITES
  
  Posted at 7:10 pm by Holly, on June 29, 2018
  
  Its been a beautiful June, with the sunshine as an added extra. Heres hoping it lasts all summer long. Let’s be honest it’s England, the rain will probably be back next week.
  
  Anyways here are some Favourites I have been loving this month and has put a big smiley on my face at some point or another.
  
  SONG – BACK TO YOU BY SELENA GOMEZ
  
  I absolutely adore this song at the moment, sometimes I can’t help pressing the repeat button. It has a really catchy tune and it actually was in last months playlist too. Selena Gomez you talented chick.
  
  FOOD – GOLD BARS
  
  You know when you don’t fancy a huge chocolate bar but just enough to curb your sugar craving for a little bit. A gold bar is the one you need. They are £1 for 8 I think. I think this as a ice cream or milkshake would be really delicious.
  
  CHEESE AND BROCCOLI PASTA
  
  These are new out in the supermarket and very popular by the looks of it. Can only usually manage to get 2 or 3 a week. I would totally bulk buy if I could. they are yummy and fill me up of a lunchtime. Mums a fan of them too.
  
  MAKEUP PRODUCT -MAX FACTOR FACEFINITY
  
  After going through half a dozen different foundations I have finally found ‘THE ONE’. After all my wasted pounds. The shade is just perfect, the consistency of it is just thick enough and the added bonus is I don’t need to add any concealer as its a 3 in 1. It Primes, conceals and covers. It is worth the £12.99 I paid. If you want to see the ones I didn’t get on with here is my Foundation fails
  
  FILM – MAN IN THE MOON
  
  If you are a fan of Reese Witherspoon you’ll love this film, and if you love a good tear jerker too you’ll love it. I watched THE MAN IN THE MOON first of all on YouTube and thought it was brilliant. Luckily I found it in our region on Amazon for £7. Always make sure that you select the right region when they are not in your native tongue. Region 1 for USA and Region 2 for UK (me).
  
  FAVOURITE BLOGGERS
  
  I have so many bloggers that i follow and love but i can only fit two in here otherwise i could write for days about each and every one.
  
  KUMBA of KUMBEAR
  
  I have been following Kumba for a while now. I think she’s such a talented woman, who writes and talks with such passion, has a warm heart and she definitely owns those curls.
  
  Here are her social links if you wish to follow Kumba.
  
  www.kumbearxo.com INSTAGR AM
  
  TWITTER
  
  RHIANN from MY BRAIN LESION AND ME
  
  Ever since I have been ill I have had Rhiann in my life. She too is unlucky with her health but doesn’t let it stop her from writing on her blog, reading books and going on a few cruises. I am glad the internet has brought us together as friends. We plan to meet one day when both our health problems are cooperating and sod off just for one day.
  
  Here are her social links if you wish to follow Rhiann.

  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.

- 12 Daily Reminders
  
  Posted at 8:20 am by Holly, on May 23, 2018
  
  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
  
  Posted at 4:20 pm by Holly, on May 16, 2018
  
  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
