Blogmas 2016

If you had asked me 10 years ago what one of my biggest dream was, I would’ve said “moving to New York”. My parents and their friends had visited New York a few times in my early/mid-teens and I remember always going online each time they visited to watch them wave to us from the TGI Fridays Times Square Live Webcam! A few years later for my 16th birthday my parents took my sister and I to New York. Nothing will ever compare to visiting the city for the first time…

The picture above is such an interesting one for me. For a few months now I have envisioned a moment of me letting go of all my troubles for a while and it was what ultimately was getting me through the stresses in every day life. However in the whirlwind that was the end of school, it was getting harder and harder to envision a time when I would be able to do so. Don't we all have that image in our heads?

Okay now THIS is a blog I never thought I'd be uploading. I mean a fitness blog?! But hey, it's 2017 and I said its the year of saying YES to everything. So when the idea to talk a bit about my current fitness regime came into my head I simply went, "well....ok?!". I see it as a bit of a challenge to be honest, as I really have never sat and written out anything to do with fitness. With this comes the disclaimer of me saying that in no way am I writing this blogpost to...

As we grow up, our dreams and aspirations are squandered and squashed by a variety of different "reality slaps". We're told; "that's never going to happen", "how on earth are you going to manage that", "get your head out of the clouds". Well to that I say SHUSH! 

Every Sunday evening/Monday morning I see posts and Instagram quotes of people with the Monday bug, and I have to say, in the depths of my personal Twitter and my Instagram you will find posts of that sort. "Gah! Mondays", "I Hate Mondays". That kinda thing! Well about 2 years ago I decided to STOP doing this. No more anxiety filled Sunday evenings, no more Monday morning grumbles, why? Because it was starting off this brand new week, negatively!
