  • Sparkle – May, Myself And I #18

    May 18: Sparkle Sparkle for me is a very girlie thing. Now I know it’s 2019 and that gender isn’t of any importance any more, but sparkle is something that feels very feminine to me. Now you already know how much I love drag queens and anything else camp, so perhaps you’d assume that I’m… Read more

  • Luck – May, Myself And I #17

    May 17: Luck I have to say that I feel so full of luck to be where I am today. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately, as it’s almost the halfway point of 2019, and I just feel so proud of myself. If you’ve been to this blog before, then you will know… Read more

  • Conscience – May, Myself And I #16

    May 16: Conscience noun the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one’s conduct or motives, impelling one toward rightaction   I used to think that everyone has a conscience and some part of me still likes to think this is true. However, last night me and my best friend finally watched Extremely Wicked, Shocking Evil And Vile and it seems pretty obvious that Ted Bundy for one didn’t have a conscience. That… Read more

  • Black + White – May, Myself And I #15

    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

  • Little – May, Myself And I #13

    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

  • Bodies – May, Myself And I #10

    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

  • Umbrella – May, Myself And I #9

    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

  • Pranks – May, Myself And I #8

    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

  • Salty – May, Myself And I #7

    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

  • Weight – May, Myself And I #6 (Catch Up)

    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

  • Doughnut – May, Myself & I #3

    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

  • Running & Star – May, Myself And I #1 + #2 (Catch Up)

    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

  • When You Don’t Have Anything To Say

    It has been a very long time since I’ve written anything for this blog. I’m kind of going through a thing in my life where writing isn’t what I do in my spare time anymore – it’s my job. Trying to find the balance between your work and your hobbies is something that I never… Read more

  • Quotes For Thoughts | Remember When You Wanted What You Currently Have

    Long time no blogging, friends! I hope you have had a gentle, safe start to 2019 and are quietly working on what you want to achieve. I’ve been a bit quiet on the blogging front simply because I have been busy working, and this has made me reconsider my commitments. I’m hoping that content will… Read more

  • Planning The Perfect Day | Personal Self – Care

    I’ve talked about self-care a lot on this blog because it genuinely is a topic that means so much to me. Only a few years ago we didn’t even have a sufficient term for being kind to ourselves, which made talking about this topic pretty tricky. Thanks to other wonderful bloggers, influencers and social media… Read more

  • Is Instagram A Creative Outlet?

    I’ve mentioned it before, but I love Instagram. I’ve been posting so much on it lately and, although I do think I need to take a break from it every now and again, I really enjoy it! In fact I use it so much, I kind of consider it a hobby for me now. I’ve… Read more
