A lot has happened this past decade and quite honestly, I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone by. As cliche as that sounds! It’s hard to believe that I’ve lived long enough to see four decades pass me by, late and I’m only in my early 30s. Like most years, there have been a lot of ups and downs over the past decade, and especially within the past few years.…

Merry Christmas (2019)
Merry Christmas to all my readers that celebrate it and Happy Holidays to any that don’t. I hope Santa stopped by last night to drop off wonderful gifts for you all. I spent Christmas Eve evening with family and friends for a nice meal in our local, before coming home to bed, of course we had the Norad Santa Tracker on all evening. A little tradition in our house. This…

Bet You Didn’t Know Tag
Lauren of Bournemouth Girl kindly nominated me for the ‘Bet you Didn’t Know tag‘, where bloggers are sharing 7 things about them, that don’t appear anywhere else on their blog. I think it’s a great idea to get to know others and find other people who have the same interests as you. The tag was created by a blogger called Jenni who runs her blog House Wife Hustle. The rules…

Gift Ideas for Exotic Pets (and their owners)
With Christmas only a week away many people like to include their pets in the festivities, and give them special gifts or treats. Which can be quite easy if you have a fluffy animal like a dog or a cat, as there are plenty of cute gift ideas on the market. However, if you have an exotic or aquatic pet, buying presents for them can get more difficult. If you’ve…

Unconventional Movies to Watch this Christmas
It’s no secret that I love a good horror movie and will find any excuse to watch them, even at Christmas time. From classic horror, to creature features, and even action movies, there are so many, unconventional, choices out there. Which I love to mix in with my favourite (more traditional) Christmas movies. So since today is Friday 13th, which if you ask me is the perfect day for horror…

My Dream Christmas
Last year Aaron asked me what my dream Christmas would be. Specifically where would I spend it? What would I do? And more importantly, who would I spend it with? To be honest, my ‘dream Christmas’, isn’t something I’ve ever thought much about before. However, I did give it a lot of thought when he first asked me, and more so now, as we’re entering the Christmas period again. I…

The Doctor Who Tag
Today is Doctor Who Day! Also known as TARDIS Day, which celebrates the day Doctor Who first aired on the BBC, back in 1963. Since Doctor Who is one of my favourite TV shows, I wanted to mark the occasion on my blog in someway and thought what better than answering The Doctor Who tag? I first stumbled upon The Doctor Who tag on Cassie’s blog Zombie Goddess Beauty (you…

Eco-friendly Christmas Ideas
AD, GIFTED | Chirstmas is a joyous time of year for most people full of celebrations, spending time with loved ones, and of course gifts. But it’s also a very wasteful time of year too. In fact the UK on average produces 30% more rubbish than any other time of year. Of course there’s no right or wrong way to celebrate the Christmas period, however, if you’re looking for a…
