Right ok.. how is it the 1st May already! This year is going wayyyy too fast. I can not believe it. Its weird, everyone said to me that once christmas was over it would go really fast on the countdown to the wedding but naive little me didn't believe that for a second! I thought it would drag but they were right! I can't even believe its 48 days until we get married! 48 days! Thats 6 weeks and 6 days! Aghhh!!!

I'm so excited. Everything is starting to come together now. I have a to do list the size of my arm but I am surprisingly chilled about the whole thing.

Since I finished my course I've been getting round to do a lot of things, including organising my blog. I especially want to start blogging the lead up to the wedding. I've finally (after years of laziness) started to get my skin care in check and have been organising make up. I've been trying new products, rediscovering old ones and I am finally at a point where I have wanted to sit down and actually write about things.

I have also started to discover more about the business. I have loved discovering all about what this business can offer and for someone who loves discovering new products it is perfect! I have been using some of the products on a regular basis now and can really see what an amazing difference they have made! More about that soon.

Its only 17 days until we go to Mexico (still not started packing), we still only know where we are staying and have no idea about flights etc but hopefully we should find that out this week! Not gonna lie its making me twitchy! :)

Anyway, you should start to see me a bit more now! I have things plotted so keep your eyes peeled. Hope you guys are all ok. Fill me in on your gossip.

Today I wanted to write a post inspired by a recent video of the lovely Estée (aka Essie Button previously) who posted THIS video on her channel this week.

I've said before there are not enough hours in the day but I there are so many things that you always want to make more time for. Today I want to share with you some of things I want to make more time for:

Exercise
Me and Adam have had gm memberships for around 3 months now and I don't think I could even tell you the last time we went. I want to make time in the week (time when I would otherwise be sat in front of the TV. The silly thing is I actually enjoy the gym when I get there it is just dragging my butt there...

Reading
I have a book shelf full of books I have never read. I want to read them. I want to get passionate about reading again. Even if it is just 15 minutes a day before bed I want to pick up a book. Let me know if you can recommend any good ones?

Cooking
Since I moved out I've got into cooking more than I did when I lived at home. Over the past couple of months I have been experimenting more and more with new meals. I want to continue to try different things instead of just going for the same quick options when we get in from work.

Blogging
Again something I've said many times. Even if I just pop on for 10 minutes a day and update you all on whats going on. I don't want this to be a place I don't update you on! Especially over the next 12 months or so, they are going to be very exciting what with the lead up to the wedding and then the honeymoon and then obviously we will have our first year as a married couple! I want to document all of this!

Being Offline
Adam and I made a deal that we would have date night once a week. This is usually a monday but if we are both busy like we were this week we pick another night. This doesn't have to be a night where we go out. It may just be a night where we curl up and watch a movie putting our phones and laptops down. However on other nights we get in the habit of sitting with our laptops on different sofas! More offline time (which would obviously make #2 easier)

I think 5 things is enough to go at for now.  I want to work on these between now and the end of the year and then have a look at them again. As my life is reaching a new stage, I need to change the way I am doing things. So I am hoping this will kick start that!

How is it even November already? It only feels like 5 minutes ago since we were welcoming in the new year and here we are with just 60 days left in the year...

Recently the lovely Lindsey whose blog My Dolce Vita I have followed and loved for a long time, through weddings and both her beautiful babies being born and growing up. She recently started up a new blog over at A Lindsey Christmas Story - I am so glad she is back blogging again because I love reading about her precious life and watching her babies grow into beautiful young children.

Lindsey restarting her blog has inspired me. She said in her first post in her new blog something which I have brushed on several times. I just want to write. I want to document and be able to look back and smile. This next year is the start of a very fun a venture and I want to document the ride.

Adam and I have been making some exciting plans! We have plotted out what we are going to do for our honeymoon - were planning on going on a little european adventure - Starting in London then going to Paris, Venice, Florence and Rome! I am so excited.

Lots of little details are getting sorted for the wedding now. We think we have chosen hymns and picked the people we want to do readings. Its all coming together now.

I can't believe its counting down to christmas again! It really does not seem like 5 minutes ago since we were shopping for our first christmas tree last year. I love the lead up to Christmas - Christmas markets, Nights snuggled up in front of the fire under a blanket with a candle burning (who am I kidding - take away the blanket and thats me all year haha), we have been doing christmas music in choir practice for a few weeks now and I love the services at church around christmas! All very exciting!

So my plan is to be back. I still want to talk about make up and beauty.. about life.. health (I have been trying lots of new recipes recently) and everything else that tickles my pickle. I am going to really try to make the last 2 months of blogging better that the rest of the year, which lets face it I have been pants!

Thank you for sticking with me for the ride. I hope you will stay on the roller coaster  - I promise it will be more interesting!

First of all how is it the 1st of September tomorrow! This year is flying by seriously fast. I have done a serious amount of thinking over the last few weeks and made a lot of changes. I won't bore you all with the details but work wise its time for a change and I have decided to try and get back to what I love - Teaching. I am taking a leap of faith in order to do it so I just hope that it pays off - if you can all just keep your fingers cross that this works then that would be fab.

I was thinking the other day how much my life has changed in the past 9 months. At the start of the year I was contemplating another year of being alone while it felt like everyone around me was getting married and having babies. Now here I am 9 months down the line, sitting blogging in my own living room while my fiancé watches some crap on the TV. I couldn't have even imagined that this is what my life would be like!

I think I have finally realised how much my life has changed and so have my priorities. I love my little blog and I always will but I think in the past I have felt pressured into feeling the need to post content regularly. I want to be able to sit here and produce a new post for you every day but at the moment its just not feasible. Adam and I work sometimes the same shifts and sometimes different so any time we have we spend with each other rather than me behind a computer (with the exception of times like right now when he is watching a film i'm not bothered about). Rather than being able to sit on a sunday and write 5 or 6 blog posts for the week I have food shopping, planning, cleaning, cooking to think about.

I have decided to take some of the pressure away from myself. I love my blog and I am not going anywhere but I know for a fact that the posts right now may be a little few and far between. Next weekend we are in Sheffield to celebrate Adam's grandma's birthday then in a couple of weeks we are off to Centre Parks with his mum and dad and brother which I am really looking forward to as I have never been and me and Adams mum are going to the Spa one day while the boys go off and do boy things! I can't promise I am going to be able to update you every week or every day but when I can I will check in, hopefully by the end of September I should be able to get some sort of schedule where I can find myself some time to sit down and catch up with you and have a bit of me time for blogging! It seems the wedding fayres are up and kicking off - we are going to our first one next week and then me, my mum and Adams mum are going to the national one in Manchester on the 11th October which I am SO excited about!!! I'll be sure to keep you updated and catch up with you when I can :)

Catch me up on what you have all been up with!!! xxx

Good evening, wow its not very often you here me say that is it! But here I am sat here on a Friday night in bed, I have officially become a world cup widow!

Now its not that I hate football, but the idea of sitting through every single match for the next 3 weeks  is not something that appeals at all! Sure I'll be patriotic and watch the England Matches (as long as they don't interfere with my sleep) but that about stretches me to my limits!

So my lovelies! I think the next 3 weeks is going to get us well and truly aquatinted again as I fear I may be going rather a lot of what I am now, sitting on the bed with the door closed, laptop on knee.

So how are we all? I feel a little out of touch with this! I don't feel like I have blogged properly for SO long! What with everything that has happened over the past few months! I love this little space on the internet that is mine though and I am going to start showing it some serious love and attention that has been lacking recently!

Let me know what you want to see. I have a couple of posts lined up for you, including a sneaky peek at certain parts of our new house - I want to start doing a few different kinds of posts too, some homey posts, things like that so I hope that is something you will all enjoy! Any more ideas then feel free to leave them in the comments box :)
