How often have you felt labeled? It is quite easy for us to define someone as "Pretty" or "Smart" but these labels are so one dimensional.
Venus have a new campaign which they have called their #useyourAND campaign.
You may have seen some of this around the internet. Louise at Sprinkle of Glitter made a video around it this week. If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen that used this campaign as part of the work we had been doing with our Girl Guides called Free Being Me.
The idea of this campaign is as the name suggests to Use Your AND... - here is the video Venus produced which sums the campaign up perfectly.
This is a campaign I really want to see get a lot of backing and I am so glad that Louise has made a video about it and hope that it gets on the radar of others too! How many time has someone said to you "you are pretty" or "you are smart".. when someone says something like this to you as the video says.. Take a stand! USE YOUR AND!!!
Yes I am a blogger AND I am work full time as a manager AND I am a guide leader AND I am creative AND I am Christian AND I sing in the church choir ... there are SO many ands you can add to a sentence!
I challenge you when someone says something to you... think about it and add an AND to the sentence!

Hey lovelies!! Remember me!!! Finally I have a new house and INTERNET!!! Wooooo!!!
I have so much to catch you all up on! There has been a lot going on since I was last here.
I mentioned in my last post that me and Adam were moving house. Well we are in and have been in 2 weeks now and I can not tell you how happy I am! This house is so much better. Don't get me wrong the other house will always be our first home together but it just got to the point where we were so sick of the land lord messing us around. I suppose that is the trouble when your renting but the new house is so much better. It feels so much like home already! I am looking forward to lots of happy times.
I am also very very excited for the summer! I mean just look at our fab new garden!!! I can not wait for late night BBQ's!

Also as we now have 3 bedrooms, it meant we effectively had 2 spare room. We turned one of the spare rooms into a guest room but we also have a little box room which we decided to turn into my office / craft room. I was going to paint this wall but instead I decided to dress it up with some bunting mum got me from Wilko's at Christmas.
I love the furniture we picked up on a trip to Ikea! The desk was a total bargain at £22 (here) and these cube storage are part of the Kallax range and start at £20 for the white (here). As I add bits too it I will be sure to update you!
Last time I posted me and Adam were off to a fab weekend in London!
We had an absolutely fantastic weekend. We saw 2 shows - Phantom of the Opera on the Friday and Lion King on the Saturday both of which we AMAZING! We went to the film museum and saw the Bond exhibit (which Adam loved) and spent an afternoon browsing Regent and Oxford Street. It was a busy weekend but definitely the break we both needed. We were SO lucky with the weather too!
Next weekend we are off to Centre Parcs for the weekend with Adam's family - we have a day booked in the spa which I can not WAIT for - have a facial scheduled too! Also its only 8 weeks till we go to Florida! I am also starting a uni course in Heathcare Leadership and Management too this month which I am quite excited about! I will keep you updated on everything!
Hope your all well! What have you all been up to???
