Where have I been for Summer 2015

Where have I been for Summer 2015:

Well this summer I moved house,

Went on holiday to the Lake District,

Found a love for a new skincare brand Actiderm

Stopped selling Partylite candles

Put a lot more hours into my Photography business www.New-Images.co.uk

And generally made myself shattered, with work and personal issues

Therefore with regret my blogging time has seriously dropped. Not only the writing, I don’t know the last time I had chance to sit down and watch a YouTube video or read a blog.

I remember around about April being the last time I did that.

No I am not giving up on blogging, and I do understand if you have given up on me. However sadly working what feels like non stop and not sleeping at night is physically draining me. Sadly blogging at this moment in time is on the back burner.

I would love to get back into it, however I think something in my life needs to give way first.

I shall post asap.

April 2015 Primark Spring Haul

Hey everyone,

This week I did a quick holiday dash for some spring clothes for a weekend away.
Due to my recent weight loss I has no clothes suitable for this weekend that actually fit.
I only wanted essentials that I can wear in different mix and match combos.

Therefore I bought,

• Vest tops (lemon and green)
• Mint Green cardigan

• Navy striped (nautical) cardigan

• Beige cut out shoes

• Beige and black £5 skater dress

• Black Shape ware Swimming costume

• 2 pastel colour scarf's

I am planning on taking black and dark blue Jeggings / skinny jeans for the day and mix the dress etc in for a meal.

As i work 5 days a week I feel I don't get change to be 'pretty' on a weekend. Therefore I wanted simple cheap items to give some colour but without too much effort.

I am loving the pastels for spring. I want to try and transfer this over to my make-up too. As I am still on my winter browns.

What do you think?

Im Going Skiing

I am very lucky to be going Skiing for my Birthday.

Today I packed my case and realised just how much stuff you take when you go away.

Looking at it I think the suitcase is as big as me, and I think about as heavy.

I must remember a coin for the trolley otherwise I will have a dead arm very quickly.

Everyone asks why I pack so early. well:

1. I'm only a week away so this is not as early as usual
2. I need to do the washing and get it dry - not easy over winter 
3. I'm wearing lots of warm clothes and fleeces on a daily basis and don't want to wear something I need to take, meaning the wash cycle again.
4. Working full time and the items I need for this holiday are quite specialist. If I have forgotten anything I still have chance to on-line order or get to my local decathlon store.

Do you think I have enough?

This will be my first ski holiday. I have had a few lessons, including one that took me to hospital with my arm. I am not great with the cold. But I am really really excited and will give it my all. 

If all else fails Ill get a lift up to the bar and have hot chocolate :-)
