Oh hi, I’m still around! For not having any plans for December I sure made myself busy enough. I picked up another job, a bartending gig at the best new bar in Doncaster (The Queen, stop in for great craft ales that change frequently!) on weekends, and so my sleep schedule and spare time are way out of whack. I’m loving it so far though, and everyone I work with is so great. The spare travel cash will come in handy.CONTINUE READING

I’m going to start this post by saying there will be no Christmas decorating going on in my house until after Thanksgiving, it’s the rule! Phew. Glad to get that off my chest. Also I have to keep telling myself this as I’m itching to put them out to feel festive, damn the stores looking all pretty and twinkly and Christmassy already. Now that it’s November, I’ll fill you in on what I got up to in October. It was so jam packed that we barely had time to breathe, but very fun for the most part.  CONTINUE READING

Well I’m back from America! For two weeks, but that’s besides the point. I’m not going to re-cap the entire trip in photos because a) I actually didn’t take that many, and b) I uploaded things to my Instagram. I will let you know a little about what I got up to though and show you some highlights. CONTINUE READING

I’ve got all sorts of exciting new things to share here! I’ll just do a roundup for now, full posts coming later when I have a chance to edit photos. A couple weekends ago on Saturday I went to Manchester for an event with Jet2 to learn about some of their holiday destinations. We all got glittered up, liquored up, and told about some awesome places to go that I never would have thought to book before. After the event a few of us went to Byron for food, and I finally got the bloody mary I’d wanted to cure my hangover from the night before. It was meh, but the mac and cheese and courgette fries hit the spot. I then went home and dreamt about all the beauty places I wanted to holiday at.  CONTINUE READING

Well I did it, I entered a boxing ring, boxed, and by some miracle actually won! Also miraculously, no injuries, even by my own hand. Didn’t knock myself out (as I almost did several times in training) or fall and break a bone. Success! Overall the Doncaster Ultra White Collar Boxing even raised over £17,500 for Cancer Research UK, and my lovely family, friends and other supporters helped me personally raise £685 for the cause. It was a high like no other and I’m definitely planning on doing it again next year, even with boxing shorts being the most unflattering piece of clothing there ever was. CONTINUE READING
