About Me

Welcome to my Blog. I set this up after realising I spend far too much time updating my Facebook status and living in hope that one day a celeb will reply to one of my Tweets. So if you like reality TV, makeup, short story ideas, magazines, chocolate and the occasional gym class, then this is the blog for you. Now get that tea brewing, grab a couple of digestives and let yourself escape into my world...you never know, you might like it here!

Thought of the day...

"The best time for new beginnings is now..."

The Proposal

She turned the key into the lock and a slight gust of wind entered as the door opened, blowing a flurry of rose petals towards her. She slowly walked through the hallway following the trail laid out below her into the lounge and through the dining room. She stopped at the French doors and before she had a chance to turn around, everything went dark as her eyes were covered by silk. The delicate fabric against her skin, and his warm body around her, made her stomach flutter. Taking her by the hand, he led her outside.

It was autumn, crisp leaves were falling and the sun was beginning to set through the trees displaying a beautiful red and orange sky. He guided her down the garden and untied her blindfold so she could take it all in. They were standing under a Victorian style arch beautifully weaved with delicate fairy lights and the garden was illuminated with flickering candles. Seeing the shock on her face, he smiled and gently kissed her lips.

“Sophia, I have been in love with you since the day we met. You have shown me what it is like not only to love, but to be loved. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on and without you, my life is nothing. Before we met, everything was black and white, but now it is filled with colour. You are my inspiration; you are my hope, my dreams, the reason I get up in the morning. You are my life.”

Her body began to tremble and her eyes welled up as she watched him get down on one knee. Removing his hand from hers, he took a small box from his pocket and opened it to display a beautiful platinum ring with a square cut diamond sparkling before her eyes. She gasped.

“Sophia. Will you marry me?”

Tears poured from her eyes as she listened to the man she was so in love with asking her to be his wife in such a beautiful and romantic setting. She has thought about this moment for a long time, but never imagined it would be as perfect as this. Throwing her arms around him and holding him close, she screamed in delight as she answered his question.

“YES! Yes, I will marry you”.

They held each other tight for what felt like forever before he took the ring out of the box and placed it onto her finger. They both looked at the diamond sparkling so tenderly before them and as the tears continued, he kissed her again on the lips. It was a moment neither of them would ever forget.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Do not disturb!

More often than not, life has a scary way of creeping up on us and passing by without even realising, and it’s only when we do finally stop to take a breather and appreciate what has been happening, we comprehend how exhausted we feel. I am at this stage now, after spending the last few weeks in Crazy Town, so am finally relishing in some much needed R&R. My candle is well and truly burnt out and I am beyond defeated.

Birthdays, weddings, fancy dress parties and far too much Vodka has taken its toll and with another cold in the space of three weeks, my body is finally telling me to slow down and relax, which is exactly what I have been doing all weekend.

I have spent the last two days in the comfort of my own home, watching re-runs of TV shows I have missed, drinking lots of tea and enjoying my home comforts. I admit, I did venture out yesterday afternoon to my mums house but ended up curled up on her sofa with my sister and aunty watching Strictly and X Factor, enjoying a curry and a much needed catch up. There’s a lot to be said for chilling out with family, it was definitely what I needed and has restored some order back into my life!

Don’t get me wrong, I have loved the mass of socialising I have indulged in, but it has come with its drawbacks including many late nights, a lot of bad eating and drinking and a total neglect for the gym. It’s now time to get back on track before I get hit with the Christmas party season so I have also been spending time refocusing and am ready to wake up tomorrow with a fresh start, a healthy mind and thankfully, without a hangover!
