My First Vlog!
So I’ve taken the plunge into vlogging! Yep! And what an adventure it was! filmed over a whole day and took hours to edit, you lose track of time so easily when editing videos, hours go by in what feels like minutes! I will warn you, I do go on and on on the video but it’s about things that are important to me when it comes to this topic! I’ve done a wardrobe reorganization video, as it’s becoming warmer and everyone’s starting to take out all their summer clothes that have been hibernating! So what better way to vocalise than to make a video!? If you’d like to read…

Dear 20 year old me…
I’m in my 30’s, considered a responsible adult, married happily to the love of my life and about to buy our first house. Not even thinking about kids yet as I still feel I sometimes need mothering, myself! When you look at photo’s of yourself as a teenager, the memories that resurface of your mindset, you didn’t care about a thing, did you? Don’t you wish we could go back to that for a few days? Zero responsibility… So young and not a clue what lies ahead… As I went through some of my possession’s the other day, shoes and jewellery, memories of my twenties flooded back to me and…

Perfect Bruschetta, an Italian Classic for any occasion!
If you’re looking for a nice comforting versatile Summer snack, you can’t go wrong with a Bruschetta! I can’t get enough of them! I love to make a big bowl of the tomato mix and take the leftovers to work the next day to eat on it’s own or with a wholemeal pasta thrown into it. PLANT MURDERER! Shopping in the supermarkets, I’m assaulted- quite happily, by the scent of mint and basil on the shelves in plant or bagged form and I can mostly never resist it! Unfortunately, I am a plant murderer, I cannot grow a plant to save my life! I’ve managed to grow mint in a…

Weight Loss That Stay’s Off: My love affair with Dukan
So, after seeing photo’s of myself from the ITWBN party, I’ve decided to go back on my old faithful, Dukan diet! I suffer from an underactive thyroid and PCOS so I really struggle with weight, drives me crazy to be constantly battling with it. My job is really active, I’m constantly moving and running about and I eat like a bird most of the time, it’s my hormones that add the weight… I appreciate when people say “But being curvy suits you!!” but it’s not helpful, my husband hates me dieting because he loves my tummy and how I’m built for comfort not for speed….But I like speed! I plan…

ITWBN Blogger Event
I can’t believe it’s all over!!!I’m sitting on the train to Dublin, shaking my head in disbelief that the ITWBN party has come and gone, faster than a Grand National racehorse! I did wear my Manolo’s and my God was the weather not appropriate! My bouncy hair that had been wrapped around Sleep-In rollers all night and as soon as I stepped out-YIKES! From big and bouncy to flat and unkempt in 5 seconds FLAT! On arrival, I was a little shy…nervous even, I was flushed and didn’t know a single person, so I sat on my own, awkwardly in one of the silver chairs in the G Hotel lounge…
