Losing My Sense Of Smell
Since my late teens/early 20s I’ve known that my sense of smell isn’t good. I can’t pinpoint when it happened, so I assumed it was gradual and, to be honest, I wasn’t that bothered about it. I remember working at a building society and happily serving the smelly customers as everyone else fled to the […]

The Body Shop Haul & Raising Funds For Charlie House
Last weekend I took the girls to a charity shopping evening at The Body Shop in Aberdeen to raise funds for Charlie House. Charlie House is fantastic charity based in the North-East of Scotland which raises funds to support children with disabilities and life-limiting illnesses and their families. The invitation landed at the perfect time. […]

Where Has This Last Year Gone?!
It’s been almost a year since I wrote a full blog post. So what happened? Well, the short answer is that I was struggling. I was organising our wedding and spending all our spare time and money on it, and working in a job I hated, and my mental health was at an all time […]

Goodreads 2018 Reading Challenge: April
It’s been a really good month for my reading challenge as I read two great books, one modern and one classic.

Goodreads 2018 Reading Challenge: February
This month I’ve started one book, decided that it’s a bit of a thinker, a dip-in-and-out-of type book, so moved onto something completely different! A Mindfulness Guide For The Frazzled by Ruby Wax I remember Ruby Wax as a comedian, initially in Girls On Top in the 80s and through all her stand-up and presenting […]

Goodreads 2018 Reading Challenge: January
At the beginning of this year I set myself the goal of reading a book a month. This doesn’t seem like much but I have barely read a cereal box in the last year, let alone a book! This month I’ve spent my spare time reading a book rather than my phone and completed two […]

Now that the festivities are over I’m ready to get back into wedding planning mode! I can’t believe it’s only 7 months away but I’m expecting things to start getting quite busy in the next few months! Since my last post at 12 months to go (which just shows how time is flying!) here’s what’s […]

My Goals For 2018
Happy New Year! It’s become a tradition of mine to start the new year off with some big plans for the year to come and this year will be no different! Last year I achieved everything I wanted to but not quite to the level I’d hoped to. I managed to lose a reasonable amount […]
