Being More Time Efficient

I am a faffer, procrastinator and all round dilly-dallyier. This must stop! - Being More Time Efficient #psblogger #plussize #pspfit

I am a faffer, procrastinator and all round dilly-dallyier. This must stop!

There seems to be a lot going on in my life right now (hence the blog not being updated much) and yet I am still spending time on stuff that is basically a waste of my time. I need to prioritise my time and what I do with it.

My main focus needs to be my diet. Making healthy food takes time and commitment and I need to do…

Shop Your Stash - Boots Botanics Facial Loofahs

Shop Your Stash - Boots Botanics Facial Loofahs #shopyourstash #psbloggers #plussize #psp #beauty

So this is post number 2 for Shop Your Stash, as started by the lovely Hollie over at Pretty Big Butterflies. You can find my first SYS post here.

I would thought I would take this as another opportunity to review a beauty product, again it’s a little bit more on the unusual side. Well I think so, as when I personally think of beauty blogs it’s all make up, make up, make up (and a bit of hair…

21st Century Dating

21st Century Dating #dating #psbloggers #blog #psp #plussize

For the most part, I consider myself to be a modern woman. I pay my own bills, I have my own (rented) flat, I can look after myself and I can even spend time on my own with out any problems. But there is one area that I think I feel like I may have a bit of a more traditional/old fashioned outlook, and this is dating.

I’ve been single now for about 4 months, and whilst I’m not in any hurry to…

Me + Boredom = Eating

Those of us that are trying to lose weight are usually told to try and think of triggers that could be causing our weight gain so we know how to try and plan for when these things happen and stand up to it head on.

I have always thought that my biggest problem is that I eat when I’m bored. Today I have had massive proof of that being exactly the case.

Today I had a day off work, in the past this…

My New Addiction

My New Addiction #psblogger #plussize #decoupage #artandcrafts

Recently, something has clicked with me. I seem to have become obsessed with a sort of new hobby. I have basically fallen back in love with decoupage, but this time in a big way. In fact, I have become a little bit crazy with it.

I dabbled in this last year and I even posted up on hereabout it. The set I bought was pretty good, and I did as few pieces from that set which lead me to covering a…

Shop Your Stash - Batiste Smoothing Conditioning Mist #shopyourstash Post 1. #psbloggers #blog #beauty #hair

After a bit of reading some other blogs on ye olde internets and came across the lovely Hollie’s blog over at Pretty Big Butterflies and she’s come up with this brilliant idea of having a rummage through stuff at home to make a review or blog post about. You can find her original post about it here.

This is my first post, and I have actually struggled a little to try and figure out what I want…

Brand New Facebook Page

Brand New Facebook Page #facebook #social #blog #psp

I have decided to try and kick my blog up a gear, actually get a hold of this and try and update it with some sort of regularity.

This has lead me to create a new Facebook Page for the blog. Quite exciting! It’s a bit bare at the moment, but I’m getting to grips with it still.

If you are a Facebooker, please like me and my page!

Pity Party This evening I have officially got into my first singledom slump. One of those evenings where is seems almost everyone on your Facebook or Twitter or even friends texting you are talking about weddings or babies or maybe even both.

Designated Boob Areas

Or DBAs as I like to call them. They are the bane of the plus size fashion world if you ask me. I have tried on so many lovely dresses that look really good, apart from one part. The Boob area.

What is it with dresses being cut a certain way that seems to dictate that you must have breasts of a certain size to be able to wear the item without flashing tons of bra?

It’s not so bad if you have a

Getting Some Focus

After a lot of soul searching, I have decided to put some serious effort into doing some career research. I can’t stay in my current job. It’s eating away at my well being. I have lost all motivation for my work.

I work in a customer service call centre, I answer calls rather than do cold calling. This was never what I was supposed to do. I took a job in the company, originally as a temp, as a…

100 Happy Days - Day 4 to Day 10

Seems I have been a bit slack at updating my blog with my 100 happy days. But if you’ve followed me on Instagram, you’ll have seen it. If not then look below!

Now it’s not the flapjack itself that is making me happy today. But what it represents (as I forgot to take any photos whilst I was out today) it represents the day I have had at the Foodie Festival in Hove. I had such a lovely day with…

100 Happy Days – Day 3 My beautiful brother. Spent the majority of the day with him today which made me happy. Although I think I might have talked his ear off over lunch.

100 happy days - Day 2

100 happy days – Day 2

Hobbycraft makes me happy. So many arty crafty things to buy and get ideas from!

Visiting today has actually made me get out my drawing things and get a bit creative. Which I haven’t done for a very long time.

Only problem is, I bought some new artist pens and they are awesome! Which means I want more. Can’t even get others to buy them for me as a present, my birthday isn’t until November!
