While on holiday I made a promise to myself that I would STOP worrying obsessively about everything (Easier said than done) and start enjoying what's happening right this second. So far so good! Honestly I haven't been this happy in months. I had seen other bloggers do a "currently" post and loved the idea and had been planning to do one for ages but the usual, never got round to it. UNTIL NOW!
Reading:
I LOVE to read, always have and always will. Usually in my spare time you'll find me drinking tea in my room with candles on, either blogging or reading a book, pretty much. It's easily my favourite way to relax.
I have never mentioned this before or really felt the need to but from the start of this year I have been sadly battling with depression. It has been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with and I don't really want to go into much detail but I'm happy to say I'm finally getting there. I have never read any SELF HELP books before, mainly because I haven't really needed to.
I am currently reading "Happy" and it has totally changed my negative attitude towards life. It's altered the way I think about pretty much everything by showing me strategies to try out myself. The series is written by two amazing woman a Phycologist named - Jessamy and a journalist named - Jo.
I love how handy these books are to take with me anytime I need them and how easy and not patronising they are to read. ( I will do a more indepth review on them when I finish the series for anyone who's interested)
Also on the reading front, I am currently listening to my first ever AUDIO BOOK! This is definitely a big deal for me haha. I am probably so late on the wagon for audio books, but HEY! I'm just getting use to ebooks and then baby stepping into the world of audio books. I use to be one of those annoying people who preferred the old fashion book, UNTIL NOW! I am border line obsessed. I am finding more and more that I struggle to find time to sit down and read I'm always doing something. So chilling out and listening to some one else read me the book is my idea of PERFECT right now.
I signed up for a membership with "Audible" and I am currently reading/listening to "Mr Mercedes" By Stephen King. It's his latest novel and it's a crime thriller. I am hooked and can't wait to finish it. Review to follow!
Watching:
What am I not watching would be an easier question... Just kidding! I do watch a lot of tv shows though. I have recently just finished watching all of "Orange is the new black" and also "Game Of Thrones". Time definitely well spent. I WANT MORE. I physically can't wait for the new seasons to come out. I am currently watching Devious Maids - Season 2 and as always Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I watch them both with my mum it's kind of our thing. If your a huge desperate housewives fan like myself you'll LOVE devious maids, I highly recommend it! Any suggestions for new programs to watch let me know please.
Working On:
I've been blogging for the best part of a year now, can't quite believe it myself and I've always fancied having my own youtube channel. I have no idea where to start though e.g.: editing, topics,where to shoot etc. So I'm still on the fence and could take some more persuading so if anyone would be interested in that, then please let me know! It would make life so much easier I guess just being able to film everything you want to post rather than typing it all out. I am a little worried about my accent too haha, being scottish and all. So I'm currently working on it and we'll see what happens in the future.
Wanting:
Aww god my wish list. My wish list is truly never ending I work my way down it and add more as I go haha such a nightmare. I am currently wanting:
Sensationail Starter Kit - French Manicure.
I am a gel nail addict and love my nails gel french polished. I am however getting sick of paying a fortune for it every month and thus would love to do it myself. I have seen great results from this kit and it's definitely worth the money. I have had my eye on this for a couple of weeks in boots and will get my little hands on it soon.
Mac.
I went into Mac recently and after purchasing my foundation I seen a gizillion things I want so of course they got piled onto my never-ending wish list. I want - a few new brushes, Peach Blossom Lipstick, Lip glass, Mineralised Skin finish and finally some strobe cream.
Waist Trainer.
This pricey little beauty has been on my list forever! I'm sick of seeing Kim K, Khloe, Blac Chyna post amazing photos of there teeny tiny waists and amazing figures while using "Waist Trainers". Pass me one please haha! Hour-Glass figure here I come.
Fujifilm Instax Mini 8.
This gorgeous baby blue Polaroid camera has been on my list for a while but I was unsure if I would use it enough to justify buying it. Nevertheless I really,really want it. I love the idea of having my pictures instantly and not accidentally deleting them. Where's my fairy godmother when I need her.
Whitening Lightning Pens.
I don't whitening my teeth often, mainly because I don't really need to but these looked like a great tool for easy up keep and I heard a lot of good reviews. These aren't too pricey so I can see me getting them soon.
Nails INC - Floral Collection.
These beauties are new on the scene. I first set me eyes on these before I went on holiday and lusted after them on QVC, but they sold out in virtually minutes so I just haven't got round to buying them yet. They have real little 3D flowers in them and would take my nail polish game to a whole other level.
Thinking:
About the future. I've always classed myself as a "planner" so needless to say I like to plan everything in advance. It takes me all my time to let go and just "Go with the flow". Also I'm also thinking about how timing is everything. Deep I know. I'm thinking about college. I'm thinking about bridal work I've got coming up. I'm thinking about my little turtle George. I thinking that it's nearly me and Stuarts anniversary. I'm thinking about new make-up ideas. I'm thinking I should go do my skincare routine. and so on haha....
Feeling:
Happy and contented. For the first time in so long and it's truly amazing. I am feeling slightly stressed and overwhelmed with how much I have to do at the moment and how there's not enough hours in the day. I am feeling blessed and lucky with how close my family are these days and how thankful I am for all there support. I am feeling grateful for all the support from my family & friends with the start of my new business and cannot thank them enough. I am feeling happy with the new friendships I have encountered recently. Finally I feel like every things slowly coming together for a change.
What's been happening with you currently? I would love to hear? Hopefully you all enjoyed this. As always thanks for reading!
