10 THINGS TO DO ON A RAINY DAY

December 17, 2016 No Comments

All about rainy days

I love rain,but there just those days where the rainy days start to become normal days and then I just get tired of it and wish it to be over already.Having something to do to keep my mind off not being able to go out is always helpful.These are 10 things to do on a rainy day.

Make sure you have a really good long book. The rain may decide to be a week long and the longer that book is the better your survival.
Have your favourite box sets ready for the snuggly nights on the sofa in your pjs, I love repeating some of them just because I have time.
Schedule yourself a nice extra warm bath and even light yourself some candles, this is time to have your own at home spa, pamper yourself, get your scrubs and facials out and relax.
Being a lazy day, have your best food take outs on hand and just let loose that day. Eat what you have been craving all week from your best place and savour each bite.
If you are not up for the take out, have a go to soup recipe on hand which you know you can whip up anytime and make yourself a big bowl and enjoy.
If your not alone, you could plan to have a mini date night and catch up, it will not only be fun, but also memorable.
You could also take this time to clean up the house, declutter, and organise yourself for the days ahead. This will make you spend some of your time and as a bonus you will have a clean house.
Get your rainy day playlists out because a bit of good music will make you enjoy your time indoors.
If you are lucky and have a fireplace, it’s time to put it in use and just warm yourself up, plus it’s a bonus get some marshmallows and crackers and have a ball in the process.
Last but not least, you could meal prep or create some menus for the weeks ahead, you have enough time to figure out what sorts of meals you would like or what to introduce to your daily meals.

Finally , hope you like my ideas and if you have more to add on this list please do share and for what to do when you’re bored, find here.

10 LIFE LESSONS I’VE LEARNT SO FAR

December 15, 2016 33 Comments

Hey Everyone,

I do know I am still going to have lots more of lessons throughout my lifetime but these are 10 life lessons I’ve learnt so far.

Don’t be afraid to fail, you might think that there is nothing else that can go wrong but they do and all you need to do is pick yourself up and try even harder.
Never be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Pride always comes before a fall, so don’t let your pride get the best of you. If you can get help do ask.
Life is too short. Now this is still one of the lessons I am getting to understand even more. Every morning we wake up is a new day. So try new things, travel, eat something new, the same morning never repeats itself.
Stop comparing yourself to others. You will never know what someone else is going through behind the scenes, so follow your own path and stop looking back.
Try and discover yourself each and every day, don’t limit yourself to a particular thing you will be surprised at what you are capable of.
Always see the good in another’s. This one can be difficult as much as there’s that one person that ones to make you go nuts, just find the good in them and all will be fine.
Not everyone is what they seem to be. Have people you can rely on and build each other up. Friends come and go but if you get to have just one to be there for you when need be, then stick by them too.
Family is always important. Blood is thicker than water, don’t forget to be around family from time to time.
Be kind to others, it doesn’t hurt to say “Good morning”, the goodness comes back to you. As the quote says what you see in others exists in you, here are various things happy people do
Lastly, love deeply and unconditionally.

What are your life lessons so far?

December 11, 2016 24 Comments

When one drink leads to another

We have all been in a position where we have had one glass too many, and as much as I always remember how I will feel the next day, I always lie to myself that maybe I won’t feel as bad as last time only to end up feeling like death itself and wishing for a truck to just run me over. So I tried some of the myths to cure some of my hangovers thanks to the internet, am not saying I get them every weekend because that would just be torture for no reason at all, but we have those parties or family visits where a glass ended up being one too many. Here as some of my tried and tested tips on hangover cures.

WHY I STARTED BLOGGING

November 18, 2016 No Comments

Why?

This is probably the most common question I kept on asking myself the first time I started my blog and the second time too, my answer was always the same, that I really wanted to and the first time I failed, I still kept on thinking about it and kept on having a drive to do it again, so I did. To be honest, I was scared and nervous, and kept on thinking what would I write about, or will I ever have any ideas to share and will anybody ever read my posts. But after a while I decided to go for it rather than sitting and always thinking (what if). This is why I started blogging.

9 THINGS HAPPY PEOPLE DO

November 3, 2016 90 Comments

Happiness is always by choice, being disappointed and feeling low just because someone has done you wrong only results in hurting you even more and nobody else. So whenever you find yourself just being downright unhappy,try to do these for a month and you will change your life for the better. These are 9 things happy people do;

1.EXPRESS GRATITUDE

They don’t forget what they already have and are always grateful for it. Having a gratitude list every day is a good idea. Don’t let the things you want to distract you from what you already have.

2.SAVOR LIFES JOYS

They always enjoy each moment and cherish the precious memories made each and every day. Stop and smell the roses.

3.STOP OVER-THINKING

They relax and go with the flow, meditate where necessary and avoid stress. Thinking too much only complicates your life and creates a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place.
