    Moving is stressful, I know this. I didn’t expect this time to be quite as stressful as it has been, though. It’s been almost as bad as my move from the US to the UK. The differences are marginal at best. The last one, into our rental, was easy peasy. I guess I expected the…

    The past couple of weeks have gone quick haven’t they? It’s nearly November?! Sheesh. At the start of this month right after returning from holiday I got a nasty stomach bug. I haven’t had one for years. It’s pretty scary sometimes when you just can’t stop being sick, but thankfully it didn’t last longer than…

    After arriving home yesterday afternoon I’ve been in a bit of denial at my holiday being over. I had a nap, being awake since 5am (4am UK time) doesn’t do me any good, and the one thing we managed to accomplish is buying food. After a proper night’s sleep (finally!) we wandered out for our…

    This weekend I had no plans for what felt like the first time in months. In reality it’s only been about 3 weeks, but they’ve been a busy few weeks! With nothing planned I was able to take time on Saturday to tidy the house and relax a bit. Something about having all the clean…

    I started getting grey hair when I was in middle school, so about 12 years old. My natural hair colour is very dark brown, so it was quite noticeable and everyone would comment on it. I used to tell the other kids it was Halloween hair spray that hadn’t washed out… Jump ahead to 16…

  • Vanity Wednesdays: Confidence

    I think I’ve finally hit my stride. My early 20s were full of (somewhat) reckless abandon and not caring about what anyone thought about what I was doing or how I looked. I took that confidence for granted. My late 20s/early 30s were more sedate, especially in the confidence department. I didn’t care about what…

    I’ll be posting fashion, outfit of the day/week, beauty and/or body confidence related topics on Wednesdays from here on out… So without further ado I’m kicking off the series with a few of my favourite outfits from the last few months. These are outfits I loved being in and felt confident, sexy and ‘put-together’ in.…

    On Father’s Day I participated in my local Race for Life to support Cancer Research UK. It was in Bath and I had decided months ago, when the registrations opened I would do it and I had plenty of time to train for it, even though it’s only a 5K, to give me a chance…

    Last week I got knocked down by a nasty cold while at Chevron 8.1 (a post on that coming soon!) and that meant my training had to be pushed back until I felt better. June is rapidly approaching – is it really mid-April already?! – so I can’t procrastinate any longer. Thankfully I’m feeling better…
