My Diary
My Diary is my lifestyle section. This is for all the posts that don't conform to any of the other categories. They could be about anything from mental and physical health to body positivity. Also, open letters and basic ramblings. It's just whatever takes my fancy. My Diary is where you will find posts about me. Little snippets of information so you can learn about the blogger behind the keyboard. So if you require a little bit of light reading then this is the section for you. If there is anything you think I could write about then feel free to contact me!

Skinny Unicorn – Weightloss Coffee Review
There’s always mixed reviews on “weightloss” and “detox” beverages and I do truly believe you have to be careful when you decide to try one. They are all different and some do have unwanted side effects. I’ve tried a detox tea before which it on really well with so when Skinny Unicorn asked me to try their coffee I couldn’t say no! I love coffee so I knew I wouldn’t struggle to use this! I did check over the ingredients first and there’s nothing in there I can’t read, which is always a good sign. The thing that stood out to me the most was that it had coconut in…

Shuffle Songs Tag
I was tagged by the lovely Ruth of Ruth In Revolt to join in with the Shuffle Songs Tag. I love posts like this where you find out something slightly random about different bloggers. Music is a massive part of my life and there is always something playing in our house so this is probably my favourite tag so far! I put my Spotify favourites on shuffle and this is the first 10 songs it played: Jumpin’ Jumpin’ – Destiny’s Child Wow, takes me back to school! I’m a massive old school Destiny’s Child fan but I can’t stand Beyonce’s current “music” (I use the term loosely). Nine In The Afternoon…

Random Facts About Me
I was tagged by the lovely Hannah Elizabeth to join in with Random Facts About Me. I love these kinds of posts and learning things about the blogging community you wouldn’t necessarily find out any other way. Make sure you go and give Hannah’s Random Facts responses a read by clicking HERE When was the last time you cried? My daughter’s last day at primary school. I was at an assembly and was fine until I noticed one of her friends bawling and that set me off. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself? I think so. I’m not the most sociable person but I think…

An Open Letter To The Girl On The Bench
You could only have been 19. Sat outside the shops on the bench next to me, pouring your heart out to who I can only presume is your Dad. Saying he doesn’t care but it’s clear that he does; he’s there and he’s listening, letting your snarky remarks bounce off him like rain. By the sounds of it, you’re blinded by love. We’ve all been there but sometimes we get caught up wearing those rose tinted glasses and the outside world doesn’t see what we do; the outside world sees it clearly. Your Dad is desperately trying to talk some sense into you, to get you to leave him; the…

The Road To Going Gluten Free Pt.1
So back in May I accidentally found out what has been wrong with my digestive system since I was a teenager. You can read more about how I found out HERE. The story hasn’t stopped there like I thought it would though. I’m going to start a mini series, keeping a diary of the road to my new gluten free life. A couple of weeks ago I was sent a new shampoo and conditioner to review on my blog and I started using it like any good blogger would. About 4 hours after the first use I had some of the worst gluten reactions I’d had in a long time.…

Going Gluten Free at 30(ish)
I’ve always known that something wasn’t right with my digestive system, since as long as I can remember I’ve had issues with diarrhea (sorry TMI) and excessive bloating after eating but I could never quite pinpoint what it was that was causing it. For ages I cut out raw spinach because I read it can trigger IBS…. Turns out it wasn’t that! My niece was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease at just over a year old. She was so ill, it was sad to see but my sister had to put her on a gluten free diet to see if it made her better then put her back on a normal…

Wedding Photo Shoot Day
If you’re following me on Instagram you will have seen I enjoy playing in wedding dresses in my spare time…. Not in a weird, I’m obsessed with marriage way, I model for a friend’s bridal shop. Usually we do catwalks at local wedding fairs and it’s an amazing experience! I’ve been doing it for a couple of years now, since I first lost weight and felt confident enough to do something like that, it gave me the confidence boost I needed at the time and I still love doing it! I got asked if I would do a photo shoot recently for a local photographer at a really beautiful old…

This & That Challenge
I was nominated for this challenge on Twitter by the lovely @MissJadeW and I think it’s a great way of getting to know something, a little out of the ordinary, about other people. Twitter is a new thing for me on a blogging level, on a personal one it’s been in my life for years and has been a massive part of where I am in life today but that’s a story for another time maybe…. Twitter is a community for bloggers, we talk, we share ideas and we read each others posts; it’s a great place to be and it’s lovely to get tagged in something like this! But…
