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...

Benefits to Social Media

I was recently asked to write a guest blog for a new follower of mine called Tim Elliot after tweeting to enquire if anyone would be interested in me writing for them. He gave me the challenge to write a piece on 5 benefits to social media and has since posted it onto his own blog.

Check it out here and let me know what you think:

If there is anyone else reading my blog who would like me to write for them, get in touch...I don't bite!

It's beginning to look a lot like....

Dare I say it? I might annoy a few people if I start going on about that time of the year already, but now Halloween and Guy Fawkes are over and John Lewis have officially unveiled that 2013 advert, I think it's safe to say we are definitely heading towards CHRISTMAS!

I've refused to let myself get drawn into it so far, despite already buying my nephew two presents, but tonight as I am writing this, I have my Christmas cake baking in the oven and have found myself searching online for present ideas! My Dad is coming over from Cape Town to be with us this year too and getting a text from him this morning to say he's arriving 6 weeks today, has made me realise it really isn't that long to go so I can't help but think about it!

Despite the cold, dark nights drawing in, there is SO much to look forward to: snuggling by the fire in PJ's and slippers, winter accessories, sparkly dresses, Baileys (!), and lots and lots of parties!

Exciting times are approaching so it's time we got into the spirit of it, don't you think?
