2015 - the good the bad & the 'to do' in 2016

Hello 2016, 
You have ALOT to live up to coming off the back of 2015, it was a pretty fantastic year !
I'm so grateful that this years 'good' far outweighs the 'bad' & those points that feature in the bad are not even all that terrible

I do have big plans for you 2016, be good to me ! 

Here's what i have to say 'bout  2 0 1 5


2014 - the good the bad & the 'to do' in 2015


A fresh new year is almost upon us, only 1 sleep to go ! 

2014 has been a good year, i would probably describe it as a 'comfortable' year, following on from 2013 was hard because that was a fantastic, exciting & busy year. 2015 is set to bring many exciting things for M & I, the biggest of which is our wedding ! 



How's your self image ?

Ok so this post will be a little different to what i normally talk about
This post will be about self image

For the past month i have felt a bit 'down & out' i can't exactly pin point what it is that makes me feel like this but i know for sure i need to change it



Last night we had a family 'pre christmas' dinner as my brother in law & his girlfriend are going to the states for the holidays, it was so much fun...until it was time for photos

I can't tell you how much i HATE having photos of myself taken, i just never look good ! I know the photos wont turn out nice so i resist having them taken SO hard, which in turn makes me that annoying 'oh, i don't do photos' kind of girl ! Errrgh. I managed to have some taken but i havent even looked at them (& not sure i will), the feeling of such negativity towards myself put a dampener on my night

This morning i woke up & i realised i NEED to change this way of thinking, i need to give myself a reason to like myself, it sounds so conceited but if i don't i worry i'll become self destructive.

So this is where i'm reaching out...how do you get a positive self image ? What do you do to maintain it ?

Change Up

You may have noticed i changed the name of my blog ? 

Lately i've felt a bit down, well actually really down, i get the feeling that i haven't found my place in the world yet & that freaks me out. There are a few things that make me feel that way & at the moment i'm trying to change those, i guess i realised life is short & in order to feel better about it all and more settled i need to move on. 

I reminded myself why i started this blog in the first place & it was to embrace life, celebrate all the cool things going on, embrace the beauty that is so commonly overlooked & be inspired by new people...hence the name change :) 

So i want to start fresh, welcome to my new blog
