Sometimes its the little things in life that give us pleasure! If you are anything like me you will have very little time to do the things you enjoy most. One of the things I promised myself at the beginning of the year was to try and do more for myself. One of my most favourite things to do on a day off from work is to have a leisurely wander around the odd shop and spending time in coffee shops, whether I am enjoying a frothy latte or a speciality tea and a large piece of cake.
Another thing I love to do is to go on city breaks now and then, I have been known to go to London (Shoreditch) multiple times a year as this is my favourite place ever, Lee my partner even proposed to me there last year, therefore it will always hold a special place in my heart. This year I am planning to go to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Brighton, Manchester and of course not forgetting London.
Spending time with family is sooo important, although I feel like there is always something that gets in the way, work clashes, appointments, housework etc. Well this is going to change this year, I am going to make extra time to spend days/activities with family as time goes so quick (don't you find) and after all the housework can wait. (can't it?)
Who doesn't love a good pamper session? I love getting my hair done, having a facial (even a DIY facial), unfortunately I find getting my nails done a waste as I am not able to have them painted for work. This year I am going to make more of an effort to pamper myself more as I don't feel this happens enough. In fact I have a hair appointment coming up very soon (can't wait) I am plucking up the courage to get a good amount cut off, instead of the tiniest amount as usual.
I love a good day out with my friends, going for lunch, browsing the shops, catching up with whats going on in each of our lives, we try to do this on a monthly basis enabling each other to buy makeup, things for the home and candles, we always seem to buy candles!
Well I am looking forward to enjoying the upcoming months, ensuring I make the most of all of the above, no doubt I will keep you up to date with plenty of pictures and blog posts throughout the year!
What makes you happy?
if you have any recommendations for city breaks etc, please let me know
