January hasn't gone to plan so far. I didn't want the year to start this way. I had a really good year last year and I wanted to carry that momentum into this year and continue with the positivity but it hasn't played out like that. I feel like everyone has already settled into 2018.… Continue reading Is January really the best month for change?
2018 goals
Yes, I know, another post about goals for the next year. But, I like reading here kind of posts and if I put my goals on here for people to see then I'm sort of accountable for them. So please, let me off with this one. Please. I'm also aware I'm a couple of days… Continue reading 2018 goals
Eyeshadow palettes for winter
Hi, I'm Steph and I have a slight addiction to buying eyeshadow palettes. If I'm not buying them, I am reading about them, looking up swatches and lusting after new ones. So I'm going to start blogmas off by talking about a few of my favourites at the moment. A palette I have been reaching… Continue reading Eyeshadow palettes for winter
How a baby affects your relationship
Babies. Those cute little things that have the power to change lives overnight. How can something so tiny affect your relationship. Well... 1) You become obsessed with sleep. How much you're getting, how much they are getting and most importantly how much your baby gets and how you wish it was more. 2) You also… Continue reading How a baby affects your relationship
When is the right time to have a baby?
I'll be honest, I'm not sure where I am going with this post. It's a long ramble so maybe grab a cuppa or a cold Diet Coke or maybe some wine if you're feeling fancy. Maybe some biscuits because, you know, winter is not the one. What age is the best age to have a… Continue reading When is the right time to have a baby?
Happy Birthday!
My little boy is one. One. 365 days old. (Well 366 days when you're reading this or 367 if this year was a leap year. Like who remembers stuff like that. Unless you have a birthday on 29th Feb). Anyway... it literally feels like yesterday I was in labour and now I have a little… Continue reading Happy Birthday!
Make up that actually lasts all day
As fun as make up can be, sometimes it is a nightmare trying to find a product that works for you and actually lasts. Over the past few months, I have been testing several products to see what works for me during work. For context, I work in a pub, which can get quite warm,… Continue reading Make up that actually lasts all day
Be kind to yourself
Everyday I walk past a lot of people and every single one of them has something they are trying to hide. Whether they are ashamed of their legs or arms, covering them up even when it's warm or people pulling their tops down, conscious that their stomach is out or trying to hide their bum.… Continue reading Be kind to yourself
How to survive living with strangers
Moving out is stressful enough. Moving to live with strangers is even more daunting. I have managed to move in with strangers four times (once was unplanned thanks to the bathroom ceiling falling in, thank you landlord for that solid foundation) so these are things I have done in order to make the whole process… Continue reading How to survive living with strangers
What I learned from a day without my phone
So I was phone free for 36 hours. This wasn't planned. I didn't just decide to be without a phone for some spiritual reason. Nope. My phone had a massive crack across the screen, which meant I couldn't unlock it. So rather than spending hours trying to find my old phone, I wanted to see… Continue reading What I learned from a day without my phone
