Goodbye 2014

Hello again,

2014 has been a pretty big year for me, in one way or another, so I thought I would reflect on it and share my hopes and dreams for 2015.

Merry Christmas

Hello, again.

Just a quick, short note to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

 I hope that you are enjoying all the festivities and that you are full of food, drink and merriment. I hope that you are fully surrounded by all your loved ones and that you take a moment to appreciate what they all mean to you.

Speak soon,

Matching Morals

Hello again, 

I have a thing about morals. They are pretty high on my priority agenda. I started thinking about how important it is for couples to have matching morals, and what it would be like for them to be on completely different pages in terms of hopes and dreams. 

What's in my travel make up bag?

Hello again,

As Christmas and New Year approaches, Mr B, the babe and I will be doing a little bit of family visiting and travelling and so I thought now would be an opportune moment to show some of my absolute gems in my travel make up bag. These are ultimately my all time faves from my every day make up picks but also feature those totes important items which are quick and easy when all you want to do is get out of the door, semi-presentable, to go and have fun with the family.

Have a Little Patience

Hello again, 

It has occurred to me this week the ability to have patience is a wonderful, wonderful thing. I think, in general, I am a fairly patient person. I think I take things in my stride, go with the flow and will always try and keep my calm. But I think that's when the balance is just right and I am a little in control of my surroundings.

Faking It

Hello again, 

Recently I was on a really busy, crowded train (yes, I am one of those morons who goes to the Christmas Markets on Black Friday). In amongst all the hustle and bustle was a young girl - I would say about 7 or 8. she had some scraps of paper and a pen and was drawing and writing on her knee. She kept talking to her mother, across the aisle, about her make believe writings and drawings.

Life With a Merchant Navy Partner

Hello again,

Today, I thought I would chit chat about what life was like with a partner in the Merchant Navy. We will call him Mr B.

Mr B, fortunately, gave in his notice just before we were wed and is now at home full time, working his little socks off shore side. But the memories of what it was like are still raw and not that far away.

Advice to my 15 year old self

Hello, again.

Sometimes (quite often) I think about my teenage years and what kind of person I was and what kind of person I am now and have become.

I have thought and thought A LOT about my top five pieces of advice I would give my fifteen year old self
