'New Year' with Morphilms | TAG



This coming year, I hope you create a story that you love. I hope you make something beautiful and take risks. I hope you dare yourself to do brave things. I hope you will have a conviction and see it through. I hope you fall in love - with art, a person, or with God. I hope you discover the miracle of faith. I hope life breaks you and from the disaster, I hope you come out brand new and beautiful. I hope you have the courage to take the weak things and amplify them until your life overflows with only the good stuff. I hope you see the world and meet interesting people but above all, I hope you have an absolutely passionate love affair with life.

Past Christmas Memories



If you would have read my Babyloss Awareness Week story blog post back in October, you'll know that Christmas time these past few years has been very upsetting and very stressful. I wanted to take a look back at my childhood and share with you all some Christmas memories I have including some very personal family pictures of Christmas time.

Merry Christmas!



This is just a really quick blog post to say that I hope you all had a great Christmas morning, and I really hope that you all have a very magical Christmas Day and evening whatever it is you're up to today. Please do give a thought to anyone who, like myself, has lost a child or a loved one on Christmas or around this time.. and give a small thought to anyone who is homeless, alone or unwell at this time. I hope all of your wishes and dreams are coming true today.

Christmas Time with Morphilms | TAG




IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE! Who's excited for Christmas Day tomorrow?

Festive Pamper Routine


I don't know about anyone else but for me personally, having a pamper around Christmas time is just THE BEST. I love turning my mobile phone off and the internet off and simply just relaxing and having a well and truly deserved pamper night at home. I thought I would show you all my favourite way to have a home pamper time routine at Christmas time.

Our Wedding Day | Q&A with Morphilms



On December 12th 2014, Phil and myself were married. Since it's our Wedding Anniversary and I always get asked to do a Q&A with Phil, I thought why not do one today. I took to my twitter and my tumblr asking for your questions and we have answered some of them on this blog post, some of the questions you lovely lot asked where very similar so if you see a question that looks kind of like your one but not exactly we didn't want to be answering the same type of questions over and over so we are sorry that we haven't answered all but we did get a lot.

My Christmas Wishlist | 2016



I'm still in shock that it is December. Christmas literally is only a few weeks away, it doesn't seem like that long ago we were celebrating Halloween or even celebrating my birthday which was back at the end of July.

Hello December...



I really cannot believe that it's the first day of the last month of 2016. That is beyond crazy to me. This year went so quickly, and so much happen in such a short space of time. As its the first I usually do my monthly favourites but I can't think of anything last month that I have really loved, since I have been unwell with gastroenteritis for most of the month I haven't really been able to try anything new out and have kept my routines as much as possible really so since I don't have anything to chatter away about I thought I would do a quick update blog post for you all...

Twenty.



I was tagged by the lovely Hannah to do the Twenty Question tag, doing and reading tags or Q&A's are one of my favourite type of blog posts to read as you really get to find out more about the blogger behind the blog. So I really hope that you enjoy finding out a little bit more about me.

My Winter Skincare Essentials


Winter Skincare for me personally is always a massive problem as I have such dry skin around my t-zone and my cheeks are such acne-prone so getting a right mixture really does seem impossible. I am so happy to finally be able to say (and show you all) that I have found THE BEST beauty products which work for my skin, and of course, they are all cruelty-free!

Mulled Wine | DIY



Friday nights for me are all about relaxing at home and enjoying some time with my husband. This usually means a takeaway with a movie snuggled up on the sofa and the candles lit, and that to me is perfection after a long week. One thing I do love on a Friday is an alcoholic drink, I'm not a big drinker I only have about one or two drinks but it's something I look forward to so I thought I would share with you all what I get up to and also my favourite Autumn/Winter Mulled Wine DIY...

Make The Change | Chasing Ice.



In late September this year I was contacted by a company asking if I would review a documentary and give them my feedback and I was a little, I can't even think of a word to be honest, but I was very tempted to say "thank you for the offer but it doesn't really match my blog" etc but then I saw this photo on instagram and thought "I'm gonna watch this and see what I think" of it because that picture is just shocking. So on October 5th I snuggled up on a cold autumn morning and was completely shocked at what I watched and I'm not afraid to say, it scared the hell out of me.

Top 3 'The Body Shop' Products



I was asked to share my top three products from The Body Shop and I really couldn't wait to put this blog post together and share them with you all. The Body Shop is one of my favourite ever shops to go to when shopping, so much so that when I was getting married and I had my hen night - my friends and myself had The Body Shop 'round at my house for our pamper party at home, it was fab and I loved every moment of it. Here are my top three products of all time from The Body Shop...

Bloggers Box Share



A couple of months ago I took part in the #BloggersBoxShare and was paired up with the beautiful Lauren from The Life Lauren Leads. If you haven't heard of the Bloggers Box Share ready then you basically get paired up with someone, spent £20 buying them a box full of goodies, sent it to them, and get one back from them in return. This is what I received back...

As much as I adore Summer time, I really love the Autumn time too. I love cold crisp mornings; I love big comfortable jumpers; I love colourful beautiful autumn leaves; I love that TV comes back; I love autumn fashion; I love movie nights with cosy blankets and hot chocolate; I love the range of drinks Starbucks brings out; I love homemade autumn tea time meals like cottage pie, scouse and stews (all veggie of course!); I love days outs and being outside in the autumn air; I love Blackpool lights; I love Halloween; I love that Christmas is just around the corner. I love it all.

October Favourites



How on earth is it November first today? Wasn't it just turning October yesterday? This year is going way too quickly! It's going to be Christmas next month - that is a very scary thought. Actually what is scarier then that thought is that at the end of next month, it's going to be a whole new year! 2017 is going to be here before we know it! Since it is the first of November, this is of course the time for my October favourites. This is what I have been loving this month...

Autumn B&M 'Blog Props' | Haul



I recently popped along to my local B&M store to pick up some blog props for when I take my blog pictures and as I'm sure a lot of bloggers know already, the prop in your blog picture is just as important as the actual item that you're trying to show in your picture. I love B&M Stores as you can always find such awesome bargains. I thought I would share with you what props I picked up...

Breast Cancer Awareness Month


I was contacted by two different charities both asking me if I could do a blog post about Breast Cancer Awareness Month because it's such an important thing to talk about and not shy away from and also because a lot of my readers are round my own age and a little bit younger, and a lot of us don't actually ever think of Breast Cancer or checking our boobs are anything like that at all.

Baby Loss Awareness Week


I've been blogging now for over ten years and this blog post has been the hardest blog post I have ever had to write, but this subject is so important that when asked to share my story by Baby Loss Awareness, I really wanted to do so. I'm not going to go into too much detail as it really is a very sensitive personal experience but I felt like as a mother it's something so important to do.

September Favourites


It's officially Autumn! Well in my eyes it is anyway, I know some people don't class Autumn until November but I class Autumn in September. I'm not usually the biggest fan of the Autumn time as I know that winter is right around the corner, which I hate, but this year I have been so excited for Autumn. It does mean that Halloween is right around the corner which is a massive plus!

My Bed Time | Tag


I was tagged in "The Bed Time Tag" so I thought since the winter nights are coming in I would get around to doing it today. I want to tag Emily and Poppy in this tag and I really hope you both enjoy doing this blog post like I did.

My Guide To Healthy Eating


I think everyone knows now that I'm a member of Slimming World, but what some of you may not know is that I turned veggie a couple of months back. I've been given a lot of crap for this, with people saying that the only reason I turned veggie is to loose weight because Slimming World hadn't worked for me etc. This is all false. I wanted to do this blog post to explain more...

#BeSelfless


I was asked by NRS Health Care* to take part in campaign they're doing to #BeSelfless. Being a lover of positivty and spreading love, of course I wanted to be involved. 

Being Selfless is NOT being selfish. 
Being selfless is the opposite of being selfish. If you're selfless, you think less about your self, and more about others - you're generous and kind. Being selfless is similar to being altruistic - another word for giving to others without looking for personal gain.

Cruelty Free Beauty.



Are you wearing a murdered animal on your face or body today?

A lot of people won't bother reading this blog post because they will think "oh I don't want to know, I'm already an animal lover" or something like that and won't click to read more because they are scared to and then they will go pat their dog or stroke their cat, or top up their lipstick which an animal has lost their life for.
