How my optimism has failed me…

Generally, in my everyday life, I’d like to think of myself as pretty low-maintenance. When it comes to buying gifts, for example, family and friends often remark how easy it is to buy for me. I don’t want diamonds or designer clothes, a battered old book, novelty socks or craft supplies would make me much happier!
So when it came to planning for the wedding, I figured my vision of a beautiful, outside, rustic themed ceremony was pretty low-maintenance too.

How bloody wrong I was!

That time I exposed myself on a video… CRINGE!

Confession: I am rubbish when it comes to checking my Youtube videos fully before I upload them. I know I should, but I am impatient and I hate the sound of my own voice (contrary to popular belief!). Usually, this doesn’t cause any huge problems, however, earlier this week I uploaded a Lush haul. I was informed that I’d forgotten to put background music in, so I edited and uploaded again. I was then told that I had only changed the volume on half the music and therefore it drowned out my voice. So I edited and uploaded again. I figured it was third time lucky, until I gave it a little watch this morning and noticed a cameo…

Motivation! (Or, How I made Steven agree to getting a kitten!)

With us both having a whole host of creative and business endeavours, it’s important that Steven and I try to keep each other motivated. That is how, this afternoon led to Steven agreeing we can get a new kitten for our new house as soon as I reach 10,000 views on Youtube and 200 Subscribers!
Let me start from the beginning…

Tips from a Car Boot Queen! (Well… Sort of!)

I have always loved a good car boot sale! As a child it was a treasure trove of Polly Pockets and endless books. As a student it was a way of selling our stuff to pay for festival tickets. This weekend we decided to do one in order to help pay for our Disneyland Paris trip and to relieve the poor Mother-in-Law-to-be of all the stuff that’s been stored in her loft since we moved out. We managed to make over £100, selling things that would otherwise have gone to the tip, it was beautiful weather and we were there with Steven’s sister and her family so it was a lot of fun.
On the high of our successful sales, I decided I would pass on some of my top tips to you – so that you too, can be a car boot Queen!

Review: Lush Toothy Tabs

For a while now, I’ve toiled with the idea of LUSH’s Toothy Tabs, but I’ve always been too nervous. Having had braces (twice!) I’m pretty specific about oral hygiene. I just couldn’t believe that little round tabs could brush my teeth as well as the usual toothpaste I use. Here, I take the plunge in order to review these little tabs!
