by RachelSwirl November 29, 2024

It’s the end of yet another month and therefore time to write my monthly edition of #LittleLoves, a blog linky celebrating the little things in life. November may be shorter in terms of the days but by’eck it ain’t half dragged! Looking on the bright side, here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the past thirty or so days Read I’ve not really been in the mood to read of late which is a real shame as I’ve got one hell of a TBR (to be read) list on my Kindle at present. Ana Huang has just released her…

Things I have Liked and Loved in October (2018)

by RachelSwirl October 31, 2018

October is one of my most favoured months of the year, I adore Autumn and all that goes with and within the season. Here are a few of the things which I have ‘Liked and Loved’ throughout this past month. Creepy Costumes & Halloween The kids were so excited about Halloween this year, they love to dress up as ghouls, ghosts, witches and wizards. They took next to no time to get into their ghoulish gear ready for trick and treating around the local area. Decorating There’s plenty of decorating that Paul and I need to get done around…

by RachelSwirl July 31, 2018

July has been one of the hottest months in the UK that I think I have ever experienced, as expected though the weather seemed to wane the moment that the summer holidays actually arrived. July has also been an incredibly busy month for my family and I. I feel as if we’ve barely had the time to stop for a second.

To celebrate the summer and to highlight the ‘positive points’ from the past…

May has certainly been the month for sunshine, we’ve spent the past few weeks literally baking in our back garden and I’ve enjoyed every moment of what I guess will be the British summer this year. Along with the sunshine there’s been plenty of other thing to enjoy, I have listed a few of which in this months instalment of things which I have #LikedandLoved. Yes To York Earlier this month our beautiful boy, J went on a three-day residential to York with his class friends. Whilst I worried myself sick as to whether he’d eat, clean, sleep and generally get…

Bleeping Beauty!

by RachelSwirl January 9, 2018

For the first time in years I’m starting to care less about how I look. I feel a lot more comfortable in my body these days partly due to weight loss but mainly due to some kind of mid-thirties self acceptance. I’ve come to realise other than clothing, hair and makeup there is very little I can do to alter my appearance these days. There’s no point in sitting for hours slaving in front of a mirror dragging GHD’s through my hair each morning when I’d rather throw my hair into a bun, enjoy a brew, save my hair the…
