Chin Chin!

Today is #NationalDrinkWineDay so it seems only fitting that 1) I write a blog for you all and 2) I drink a large glass of Rose at the same time!

Can you believe it, someone has actually come up with a day dedicated to drinking wine? I've always been of the opinion that any day should be wine day, or in my case, Vodka, but who am I to be fussy? It's Thursday night, which means it's almost Friday, which in turn means it's practically the weekend! Its 8.39pm, PJ's are on and I am on the verge of curling up on the sofa; therefore it's only only fitting that I open a bottle of wine and honour such a day as this!

So here I am enjoying a (very) large glass of Zinfandel, watching re-runs of The Big Bang Theory whilst I wait for The Wedding Planner to start on 5Star....a channel I didn't even know I had! What I do know, however, is 5Star were actually a brother/sister band out in the 80's who had hits such as Rain or Shine and Silk and Steel (Que song lyrics now running around in my head!) I even remember the dance moves...but I'll save that for when I'm on my second glass and nobody is around! And they say wine makes you forget things! 

I couldn't be anymore in my element right now; it's like this day was made for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this. So to everyone out there tonight who, like me, are enjoying a glass of their favourite vino, or those who may be wining a dining in a nice restaurant, or maybe sharing a bottle in their local pub, I and raising my glass to you all and have only one thing to say....Cheers!

All I want....

I've been feeling a mixed bag of emotions today; not sure whether it's because I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself given it's another single Valentine's Day for me, or whether it's just because I'm still over tired from the ridiculous amount of sleep I didn't get last week. 

Either way, I've spent the last hour or so chilling out listening to some music (choices of which are probably contributing to how I am feeling) and thought I'd share some of them with you. 

Enjoy!

Kodaline "All I want"

Shed Seven "High Hopes"

Christina Perry "A Thousand Years"

Pete Murray "King Tide"

Don't worry, I'll be back to my usual chirpy self next time - am off to watch the BAFTA's now and salivate over some good looking men!

Enjoy the rest of your evening lovelies and Happy Valentines Day! <3

Mind Tricks

My head is fuzzy. It's the kind of fuzzy you get when you're coming down with a cold and your body is too weak to respond to anything. It doesn't help that I actually am coming down with a cold and dosed up on decongestant tablets (which probably does explain why my head is fuzzy) but on Wednesday night I was lying in bed and all I could hear is that noise the TV makes when you're trying to tune in the channels and all you can see on the screen is snow.

I know something's not right, but can I think of what's bothering me? Of course I can't....probably because my head's too fuzzy. How ironic! I don't have anything of major significance to be worried about at the moment, in fact, I don't have anything to be worried about, but I my head feels busy, and it's exhausting. 

I'm not sleeping properly either. Last night, for example, I went to bed at 10pm; a decent time for me but I had such a disturbed nights sleep. I woke up so many times I lost count and I was dehydrated beyond belief that I went through nearly a litre of water, strangely enough, I don't even remember drinking it. The only way I know is because of the full bottle I took to bed with me and the almost empty bottle that was on my bedside table when I woke up. 

Even now as I type this my head feels busy. I have my TV off and my mobile phone on silent so nothing can disturb me, yet all I can hear is my fuzzy head. It's exhausting. I feel like I need a switch to turn it off. If only. 

I've considered a mind detox. Is there even such a thing? I bet if I Googled it I'd find loads about how I can do it. Maybe writing about it on here will help. Who knows? I need to try something though because I don't like this feeling. It's putting me on edge. Maybe some yoga or deep breathing exercises will help.

If anyone has any tips let me know. In the meantime, I think I need to take my own advice and get onto a search engine and see what I can find to help me out of this!
