Day 30/30!!: Reflection time!

Woohoo! Today I reach the end of my 30 day challenge! Apologies if this post may seem a bit rushed, but I need to get ready and head out to my boxing class. I guess this time when I did the 30 day blogging challenge, I wasn’t as good at keeping up posts as I was when I did this back in December, but I’m glad that I managed to do 30 posts. On reflection of how these past 30 days have gone I’ve realised I’m still timid and self conscious about doing fashion and personal style photo posts,  maybe I need to just bite the bullet and get posting?! Any tips anyone has is more than welcome here!  Also I need more variation in content, which I hope I can do over the next month. Thank you to everyone who has been keeping up to date with my blog and progress and thank you to all the new followers who have signed up to follow me in the past month!

So as this 30 day challenge ends, a new one begins tomorrow. The next challenge is to exercise every day for 30 days. The plan is go to classes 3 times a week and exercise at home 4 times a week. One of my goals this year was to get fitter, but also at the end of the month I’ll be seeing someone after a whole year. This person hurt me deeply and this time last year, all I wanted to do at the time is find a way somehow to hurt them back. As a result of this over the past year I’ve been finding ways to channel my anger and frustration, and let me tell you boxing and boxercise is an amazing way to do it! I made a promise to myself the best way to get revenge is to be healthy, happy and successful! I’m no angel, I do actually want this person to be healthy, happy and successful too, but I want to be healthier, happier, more content and more successful than them, that would make me very happy! Yeah, I know that’s a bit bad and selfish, but I’m human! So here’s to the next 30 day challenge of getting into shape. I would post photos of my abs, to see the change after 30 days, but I feel that may be a little bit inappropriate!!

Day 29/30: Rajgir, Bihar Photos

Just a couple of snaps from Rajgir, which is part of the Buddhist tourist trail in Bihar. I don’t have much to say as I’m a bit snoozly and tired, but check out the serious lack of health and safety on the ariel ropeways! Only in India can you get away with that! I may […]

Day 26/30: Lazy Friday Post

Yay! I’ve caught up with my posts 🙂 This one is going to be a bit of a lazy one and hopefully a treat for some of the girlies who follow this blog. I don’t how many of you have read the story about a group of men who were told to leave Saudi Arabia […]

Day 24/30: Pranking the parents!

This is totally hilarious. I’ve spent a good 5 minutes chuckling at these. On Wednesday comedian Nathan Fielder asked his fans to text their parents a cryptic message alluding to a drug deal underway. Text “got 2 grams for $40”, Fielder instructed his twitter followers to write to their parents before texting a second message immediately after to […]

Day 23/30: National Geographic 2013 Travel Photo Contest

How amazing are some of these entries that have been submitted for the National Geographic 2013 Photo Contest. Looking at photos like these just makes me want to pack my bags and jump on a plane out of lil old Blighty! My personal favourite is the kangaroo!

Day 22/30: LiFe

Day 21/30: How time flies…

21st of April is an important date in my family. Like with any family, the birth of a new baby is a much celebrated occasion. On the 21st of April 1997 my family were blessed with welcoming, not one, but two little boys into our family. My sister gave birth to very tiny little twins. It was a long awaited day, one that we as a family, never thought would happen. She had quite a battle trying to conceive, which involved rounds of IVF, so we didn’t really believe it was happening until the boys arrived into this world. This year the little boys turned 16. I just don’t know where that time is gone. It’s crazy to think that 16 years ago how tiny they were and that they weighed less than 1.5kg each. I had a massive cringe moment though when I went to see them, I was standing by an incubator looking at a child thinking it was one of the twins, and said to my brother in law “he’s really cute” as soon as he walking into the neonatal itensive care unit, only for him to say “they’re over here”, pointing to the opposite side of the room.

Anyway here is a pic of them on the day the were born, they look a lot bigger and healthier these days! What a blessing they are!

Day 25/30: Round 2 of playing catch up

I’ve completely flopped at this challenge this time round. Having to do another round of catch up posts is seriously lame. I’ve been a bit preoccupied with “Project Attic”. Let’s just say it is amazing how much junk a family can accumulate over 25 years. On a brighter note, the clearing out the attic part of the mission has almost come to an end. Tomorrow will be the day of the big clean and then hopefully start painting on Saturday. The dilemma I have at the moment is to figure out whether to paint the walls white or cream. I also can’t decide whether to go for a simple plain minimalist approach or go for something which is quirkier and injects some of my character into the space.

I have made one decision though. I’m going to buy this cushion from Homebase!!
