Things to do on a ME Day!

BEFORE I START, I would like to credit the lovely Rae, from Sickbunny for this blog, and the ideas are mostly taken from the blog that should be found HERE if the link goes well haha! This is basically my own twist on it! And don't worry, I got her permission first!!

Every one should have a ME day once a week. For me, its Sunday. Sometimes I add an extra one on Tuesday, but its mostly Sundays. I HEAR BY MAKE IT LAW TO EVERYONE TO HAVE A ME DAY.
And heres some things you can do to make your me day you! I do some of these things, some of the things I took from Rae's post!

One: Watch Favourites in Bed

I love it when a plan comes together

I love watching TV or films in bed, how about you? And what a perfect thing to do on a You Day than relax on your bed, with a cuppa or hot chocolate, and watch your favourites!! Personally, I will be watching Ghost Rider today in bed! 9pm, Channel 5 for those in England. I usually leave my laptop alone when doing this, and just enjoy the film!

Two: Play A Game!

Beat those stress trolls!

In the world of electronics, we all usually have some sort of gaming platform in our possession, from a phone, to your laptop/PC to the current gen consoles. I personally have my DS and Xbox 360 to game on, and I find  even fifteen minutes of Dragonquest on my DS is soothing to my soul. I find games like DQ and Fable 3 and Final Fantasy (any apart from the MMO's ) to be the most soothing as I can get out my frustrations in life by beating up monsters and baddies!! It may sound geeky, but gaming is a good stress reliever!

Three: Bake!

Nom nom nom

I love to bake. LOVEEEE. And making your own little pieces of nommy is extremely satisfying! Make that cake that you haven't dared try yet! Bake a batch of cupcakes and shake with friends over a cuppa! I suggest hand whisking, as now I am hooked on it as you can beat out any stress and you have to concentrate on the whisking, rather than anything stressful around you!

Four: Get Creative!

Draw anything that makes you happy!

Write. Draw. Sew. Glue. Anything! Take some time to make something pretty. I like to write and draw and also it can be productive if you want to finish something creative off ;D I have many self inflicted art projects that I like to doodle and sketch through the week!

Five: Paint your nails

001110101010110

I paint my finger nails Mondays, so I do my toes on Sundays! Painting your nails is so girly and I don't know about you, but painting my nails a lovely colour always brings a smile to my face, even during the week when ever I see them!

Six: Take a Long Bubble Bath!

Make up and hair ribbon are optional.

DO THIS. If you do just one thing from this list DO THIS. At 8pm or when ever you have time in the evening, run the hot tap, go over board with the bubbles, even chuck in a Lush ballistic or other brand melt, and relax among the fluffy bubbly fragrances and do what ever you want. I like to apply a fifteen minute mask and shave my legs personally. And read. Reading in the bath is a must. If you like candles, light some fragranced candles. Like music? Bring a portable music player with speakers (like a radio) and play some music or tune into your favourite radio station. This bath time is YOURS and yours alone. Frisky baths with the other half are for  other days ;D

Seven: Read a Book

Or read many books. Its up to you!

Sitting some where comfy and reading a book you love, or exploring a new book, is love. At the moment I read 'How to Walk In High Heels' during the day, an old favourite book of mine, read it if you haven't, and will be starting 'Inkheart' tonight for an hour before sleep. I love digging in to a good book right before bed, I sleep better!

Eight: Go for a Walk or Bike Ride (weather permitting)

Wish it was sunny all the time!

I wouldn't suggest going for a walk up a big hill like I did last Saturday, as those things aren't for everyone, but just being out and about for half an hour or more in the fresh air makes you happy. Especially if you aren't walking anywhere in particular. Or bike riding. I love riding my bike in Summer, but I've only ever gone for a walk in Winter. Perhaps I should try my bike too!!

Nine: Write a Blog

Anywhere anytime!

You don't even need to publish it. Just write some things down that you would want to share, even if you only jot them down in a journal, maybe to share for another day. Sharing your thoughts and feelings on the interwebs may seem a bit daunting, but most people out there are actual darlings and you shouldn't be scared of them!

Ten: Dance like Crazy to Your Favourite Music

Friend optional

Jigging around in your room, even for ten minutes, can be so much fun and also counts towards a little bit of exercise ;D I like singing and dancing along to Disney songs personally as theres nothing more uplifting than your favourite childhood film!

Eleven: Tidy up some Clutter

My room never looks this tidy..

Now, I know what you are saying. Hang on a minute Kitty, tidying isn't relaxing!! BUT WAIT. You know that feeling when you've tidied up that bit of clutter you've put of for ages, and now it looks all nice and neat? Thats a GOOD feeling, isn't it! SO embraaace it and you will feel much better not having to worry about that untidy bit.

Twelve: Make a schedule for the Week

Make your own, its more fun!

Another groan I hear?! Well, don't you just hate when you don't know what you are doing or you haven't got anything done that you wanted. Planning out your week will help that! You can get things sorted just by doing this in half an hour. You can even make your schedules pretty (I will show you tomorrow) by using different colours! Pin it up somewhere you can see it everyday, and you will know exactly what you should be doing and when! Useful if you often forget appointments and things!

Things I suggest NOT to do on a YOU Day:

• Watch the news. Bleh, always boring or depressing anyways. You can always catch up tomorrow
• Stress about stuff. That stuff will still be there Monday, don't worry about it today!
• Force yourself to do anything. If you don't feel like it, don't do it! I don't do everything on this list every Sunday!
• Get up early if you can help it. I have one day a week an alarm doesn't wake me up. Sunday is it!
• Go shopping. I don't suggest doing this at the weekend at all. I loathe week end shopping crowds. My fav day to go is Thursdays or Tuesdays
• Diet. Eat the hell what you want, as long as you aren't shoving ten full sized chocolate sponges, I am sure it won't hurt your diet.

I hope you liked my list and thanks again to Rae for letting me pinch her ideas and for thinking this up in the first place!! Remember to check out her blog!!

Weekend Weddings (and other things!)

Nerrrr :P

Hi guys!! Hows it been!! I hope you are all doing well!! I haven't been up to much, finished college and just been bumming around between Hull and Portsmouth!! At the moment I am in Hull, for about a month before college restarts!! I get my results this week I hope to GOD I haven't failed too badly!! I am so scared!!

But anyways, enough of my boring life and onto something we all love (even if we don't believe in them!):
WEDDINGS

At the weekend, me and the boyfie went to his Aunties wedding! Even though the weather was predicted rain, the sun shone for us and it was lovely and warm!! I went out shopping the day before to see if I could pick up a last minute outfit (I had one planned but any excuse to buy new things!) and Primani became my new heaven (while in Hull, Yumi is still my favourite down south shop, more on that later ;) ) They have such lovely girly things there at the moment!! Some of it is quite seethrough, to the disgust of the boyfie who said it looks like nighties and looks too slutty to wear in day time (god I love him, bless!). I managed to scoop myself a new dress in pale blue with a lacy flower pattern all over, some pretty bows and a lovely pair of nude pink shoes, which cost alltogether less than £30!!

Dress - £15, Tights - £2.50, Shoes - £10, Bows in hair - £1.50, Umbrella - £4 all from Primani! Handbag & belt was my own :D

 All the outfits at the wedding were lovely and a lot of the women had gorgeous shoes!! (Man I LOVE shoes right now, I am already thinking about winter shoe boots!!)
We started off the day in a hurried panic. Well, I didn't, I got up at half 8, had my breakfast, scowled at my boyfriend for getting in the shower before me and taking so long and then getting ready by about 10:15 with fifteen minutes to spare before the taxi arrived!! I organise the night before, set all the stuff out neatly so its ready for the next day! His mam and sister, how ever, had to go to the hair dressers on the day to get their hair done and by the time they got home, his mam realised that she had holes in her tights and didn't have time to buy some new ones! Luckily she had a pair of leggings to go with the dress she wore, so all was well by the time we got  in the taxi's!
After a hurried dash through town to the registry office, realising we weren't late, we relaxed and chatted before everyone was herded into a very small waiting room where we tried not to step on each others toes!!

Here comes the bride!

 The bride looked stunning in a lovely floor length black dress, all floaty and pretty!! More pictures you will see later! The ceremony was sweet, but I couldn't help myself when I let out a tiny quiet giggle at the registra. He has this weird soft quiet voice that made me want to giggle so much!! But the bride and groom looked very happy!

The groom had tears in his eyes and you could tell by his voice how over whelmed with emotion he was!

 After the standing up ceremony, we had the signing of the book (we were in a Registry Office incase I didn't mention that earlier!) and many a photo were taken!!

The happy couple :D

After much photo taking, we spilled out into the street and just up the road to a small park where many a more picture were taken!! I do love a good photo sesh and taking them in the middle of a green park with the warm sun shining down on you is just perfect!!

The bride and her lovely daughters!

I loved what both girls were wearing but I feel the one in the white dress was too skinny and it showed in that dress, you need boobs for it. But her shoes were so lovely and from New Look!! The blue dress, I want, I believe I was told it was from Oli.com! It was £30 and here is the link for it: Pretty Maxi Dress!

Floaty prettyness :D

There was of course the tradition family shots!!

My boyfriend is the very very tall one. His older sister is in the nude dress (£65 from Next catalogue), little brother in the suit and blue tie and his youngest sister in the pink dress. His mum is in the grey dress on the far left!

I was just there to take photos I didn't want to be in any of the shots as I wasn't family!! After the main bridal party shots, we milled around waiting for taxis to take us to the reception at a small pub in Queens street called RUSCADOR'S, used to be The Heritage pub! Heres a few more shots from the gardens:

Me posing in my dress haha!

The brides two daughters (white and blue) and boyfies two sisters (pink and nude). You can just see his older sisters sparkely gemmed shoes!

The boyfie and his family!

Me and the boyfie (excuse my dumb face!)

Once we were at the pub, we all found somewhere to sit and chatted with each other, waiting for the best man speech (awwww he was nearly crying!) where he made a joke right at the begining. "They say the best man speech is usually as long as the love making as the bride and groom....so please raise your glasses!" and he also said another, "I best stop now as my jokes are so bad even the cake is in tiers!". I laughed a lot at that one, I shall remember that!! The spread was lovely, none of the posh fancy food which you don't know whats what and are very scared to try, but lovely normal foods like prawns, mussels, quiches, sandwiches, crisps. I love buffets :D I ate mostly prawns, crab sticks and mussels, and also those little poofy pastries with toppings on top. They had two cakes, one sponge one for us people who don't like fruit cake, and the pretty wedding cake was all fruit cake!

Ooo what a pretty cake! Taken by boyfies little sister!

After we had our fill, more photos were taken on the little raised bit which I supposed was normaly for inhouse bands!

Awww the happy couple!

A family shot :D (The younger brother had left as he was bored)

 Then there was the traditional cutting of the cake:

Both looking happy!

And finally, at half 4 in the afternoon, our little troupe decided it was time to leave!! So with slightly aching feet and full bellies, we walked back into the main area of town and caught a bus (glamorous!) home and relaxed. I didn't personally get changed, as I was comfy  in my clothes, but boyfie and his sisters did and then his older sister came round to look at the photos and upload onto facebook (of which I did the same after she left!). The day was long but it was full of love and happiness (and cake) and I had a good time!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday was just a normal Sunday for me, relaxing in the bath for about an hour (to which my boyfie said when I got out "how long do you need your bath!") where I scrubbed, shaved and bubbled my way to relaxation then  threw on a comfy outfit of black leggings and a shirt dress. We spent the day tidying and messing around with bikes (as in cycles). Boyfie was teaching me how to ride a bike again, as I hadn't since I was 12 due to operations on my hips, but my gosh do I have a sore bum today!! We had a lovely spagbol for dinner and an early night as boyfie has to get up at half 6 in the morning for work!!

But since its now 12:38pm I had best leave this blog post for now and get on with my Monday!! I have things to do today and spent all morning on the internet already!! Hope you ladies (and gentlemen) have a nice day!
