HOW TO GRAB A BARGAIN

My new favourite obsession is thrifting! There I've said it. I am a thrifter.
I love picking up bargains, bidding on eBay and finding second hand treasures. Not least because I'm on a tight budget while I stick to my debt management plan.

Progress Not Perfection

After uploading last weeks blog post (click here to read) I spent the following hours re-reading it, mentally tearing it to shreds and generally wondering how I could have written it better. 
We all do this right? It's that annoying little voice inside our heads called 'The Perfectionist!' 

Goals For A New Year!

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a well deserved rest. I thoroughly enjoyed my time off. But now that 2016 is well and truly here it's time to boot myself up the backside and get back into the swing of things. Some of you will have noticed that I haven't got my new blog up and running yet. It will be ready very soon. There's just a few things we need to add before it can go live.

Announcing a blog break...

Hello all! You may have noticed I haven't posted for a couple of weeks. To be honest I didn't feel that I was giving enough 'quality' time to my blog. Sure I've still been uploading an Instagram Favourites and a Blog Love post most weeks, but the things I really wanted to blog about when I started this have gone out the window somewhat.

Brand New Favourite Blog Reads

Wow you guys created a lot of incredible blog posts this last week! So much so that I had pretty much picked out all featured posts by early Tuesday evening. 
First up it's Victoria from InTheFrow showing us how to put Christmas party outfits together. There's also a few Christmas gift guides if you've yet to do your Christmas shopping! My personal favourite is 'Gift Ideas For The Book Lover In Your Life.'
If your skin is in need of some TLC then check out the Trilogy Organic Rosehip oil. Definitely one for my shopping list! 
Gal Meets Glam features once again because I simply love her incredibly gorgeous photos! 
Those who read blogs on a regular basis will probably have heard of The Sunday Girl but have you heard of new blog The Sunday Teen? With posts written by The Sunday Girl's younger sisters it's one to check out!
Finally, if you're looking for an excellent career opportunity then check out the post from Camille Styles who is looking for a new intern!
As usual, click on the relevant image to be re-directed to each blog post.
Make a brew, perhaps grab a slice of cake and enjoy the read. As for me? I'm off to enjoy a lazy Sunday... Pah! Who am I kidding? I'm actually off to work on my new series of blog posts, the first post of which will be live this coming Friday evening!
May this week bring you all good things and bearing in mind recent events... Be safe!
