May, Myself & I

  • May 15: Black + White As I am a Geordie and very proud of where I come from, there really is no other topic that I can talk about today. I’m from a city in the North East of England called Newcastle Upon Tyne. We’re quite a famous city and most people know us for Read more

  • May 14: Curtains The first thing that came to my mind when I read today’s word was: ‘you never know what’s going on behind closed doors’ but I suppose I should change that to behind closed curtains, for today. No matter what people are hiding behind, whether it is a door, a snazzy set of Read more

  • May 13: Little I don’t quite know what to write for today, so have a very creative list of all of the things that I think of when I see the word little. Let’s think of it as a very fun word association game! People Little mama – which is the nickname me and my Read more

  • May 11: Sunflowers I really like sunflowers – they make me so happy. I’m not really someone who’s into flowers but I just think sunflowers are, like, really pretty. What I like about sunflowers is how bright they are and how tall they rise. Sunflowers make me think about summer days spent at my nanna’s Read more

  • May 10: Bodies I feel like I should have planned this post before I wrote it, but I guess that goes against the point of the challenge. I just know I’m going to have a lot to say about bodies. I’ve already touched on it during my weight post (read here) but I have a Read more

  • May 9: Umbrella What an appropriate day to write this post! It is so cold, grey and rainy here in the North East that if I venture outside I will certainly need an umbrella. I’m very unlucky with umbrellas – I’ve lost count of the number of brollies that have broken, bent inside out or Read more

  • May 8: Pranks I think pranks are horrible – I really don’t like them. I can’t watch those compilations on YouTube of people getting pranked and I don’t really want anything to do with pranks in real life. My boyfriend, brother and dad all like a good prank. Most of the time it only goes Read more

  • May 7: Salty When I first saw today’s word, I was going to write another raving post about how much I love sweets. I was going to talk about how much of a sweet tooth I have over a salty one. But nowadays salty has more meaning than it did when I was growing up. Read more

  • May 6: Weight I don’t think it will be a surprise to anyone that I am concerned about my weight. The fact that women are concerned about the way they look is something that we just accept as normal and, dare I say it, even expect. Think about how you, your friends or the media Read more

  • May 5: Eggs My puppy loves eggs. Before getting a dog I couldn’t even imagine that a sentence like that would even make sense, but it’s true. We were very blessed towards the end of last year and Ceaser came into our lives, despite the fact that my family “would never have a dog” (Dad, literally Read more

  • May 4: Red Lips I think it’s pretty apt that I’m writing about red lips on a Saturday night. A long time ago (it makes me feel quite sick to think exactly how long ago it was!) I used to go out out on a Saturday night and I’d always be wearing red lipstick. I Read more

  • May 3 : Doughnut I love doughnuts. It’s a thing I’m going through at the moment and I totally blame my boyfriend for this obsession. I have always had a sweet tooth and it’s something that I think everyone knows about me. I would much rather have dessert than a main course any day of Read more

  • I love Carrie Hope Fletcher and I thought that her ‘May, Myself and I’ challenge (watch the video here) was a great way to get me back into writing as a hobby. I’ve recently talked about my ongoing battle with this blog and how I’m struggling to get back into writing just for myself, so Read more
