That get up and go feeling

I have been doing a lot of thinking recently, due to the new home and new found independence, a new city to live in, and all those good things. And the fresh start in a new home has really given me a motivational boost that I was much in need of to kick start me again and get me going.

I am also now commuting to work on foot, which is a completely new thing for me, I have never been able to commute by foot before. So this is a nice refreshing start to each and every day. My walk and daily exercise along with the new home is making me feel freshly motivated and inspired to work harder.

So therefore there are going to be more Blogs from me and hopefully more YouTube videos. I am just feeling all round more inspired just do the things that I love. I think also the fact that Spring is clearly on the way is massively helping, the evenings are lighter and the weather seems to be ever so slightly better. Having done my Spring cleaning over the last two weeks, I feel like I am ready to really crack on with this year and make things happen. As they always say work hard, play harder.

What are your plans for this Spring time? Have you got a new hobbie which you have taken up or something which you have found a love for? I am going to try and pick up the pace with my blogging and videos, but my Mum is also teaching me to sew, I will keep you updated on the progress!

Hopefully the motivational bug will come through the PC and get you going!

Remember, think positive and positive things will happen!

New Beginnings & Spring Cleaning!

I have started another new beginning, if you read my previous blogs you will know that I recently moved back in September from the countryside to a city. We needed to move quickly, due to starting new jobs and needing to be up in the city for set dates. So it was more of a case of get there in time, not picking the right place. I have now found the perfect place which I hope I will call home for a long time to come, but it has meant another house move!

So over the last two weeks while I have been surrounded by boxes I have been thinking about de-cluttering etc. and have come up with some golden rules which I think may help you if you are planning to have a spring clean!


Wardrobe Clearout


All women hate the dreaded wardrobe clear out it is always so hard to cut down on your clothes, but never just throw anything out, always give it to charity shops or clothing banks, that way you know your clothes are going to a good cause. It makes the hard process a little easier when you know it will help someone in need. I have developed the following rules over the years which has helped me massively!

I always follow these three rules (you have to be ruthless to cut down the wardrobe!)

1. Has it been worn in the last year?
2. Is it a special occasion item (therefore exempt from rule 1 i.e. a wedding outfit, cocktail dress, funeral outfit etc.)
3. Does it still fit? (Only one item is allowed to be exempt from this i.e. a pair of jeans which are your motivation for loosing weight etc. 

Deep Cleaning for Spring

I would hope that everyone loves spring cleaning as much as I do (being a neat freak it's in my nature) however if you don't and are feeling a little lost as too what you should be doing on top of a normal house clean, fear not, as I have created a list which you can follow for a little help and guidance!

Top 10 things I make sure I include in my spring clean around the house:

1. Clean the windows, inside and out
2. Wipe down all door handles with antibacterial spray
3. Removal all items from kitchen cupboards wipe clean and put back
4. Defrost the freezer
5. Clean fridge shelves and freezer drawers
6. Shampoo carpets
7. Wipe down all keyboards, remote controls and phone handsets with antibacterial spray
8. Hoover skirting boards
9. Clean out cutlery drawer
10. Hoover under beds

I hope this helped you with your spring cleaning project, needless to say its been a busy and hard couple of weeks moving and cleaning everything but I am finally settled and completely unpacked.

Good luck with your spring cleaning mission.

 I wish you spring time cleanliness and happiness!

Perseverance is the key!

It has been far too long overdue, but I have finally managed to get my next YouTube video up!

I have been having all sorts of terrible computer issues of the last 3 weeks since originally trying to get this video uploaded! But today after sitting down this morning and being determined that I wouldn't be beaten I have managed to get my video edited and uploaded!

I hope you enjoy! This is all based around a new matte lipstick which I have purchased from M.A.C which I am in love with and is my new favourite red lipstick. I hope that you love this look as much as I do!

I promise now that I have managed to beat my pc into submission and I have got everything running smoothly again there will be more videos to come.

As always any requests please do let me know!


But for now, grab yourself a cup of something tasty, a bicky and sit back and enjoy this beast :)
