Be My Valentine?

As my first single Valentines Day in a while got ever closer I started to get the concerned messages from loved up friends.  How was I planning to spend the day? Would I be doing anything fun? Had anyone offered to take me out?

Rather than feeling sad that I had no Valentine this year I got to thinking how blessed I am to have so many people in my life who care enough to worry about me and how today might make me feel.  And rather than looking at happy couples with a wistful look in my eye, I've found myself feeling really happy that those I love have found someone to love and care for them.

So this Valentines Day I'm going to celebrate love in all forms, from my friends, my family and be thankful that I have such amazing people around me.  

And then I'm going to sit and watch all my favorite films without worrying that someone else might not be enjoying them as much as I am, paint my nails without complaints of the smell of fumes, do a face mask without having to worry about who will see me with a green face and snuggle up in my onesie, feeling thankful that uncomfortably small and restrictive underwear is not something I have to contend with this year!

Primarni Love

This week I've had a little more spare time than usual and I decided to use it wisely and hit the shops!  I've been lusting after American Apparel's Disco Pants for what feels like forever now but just can't bring myself to part with £70-£80 for what is essentially a pair of shiny leggings :(

Luckily there are tonnes of dupes on the high street and I found a pair I loved in H&M for a fraction of the price.  I've been wearing them non-stop since, they've even kicked my jeans back into the wardrobe!

After picking up the trousers I headed to Primark to see if they had any cropped tees to pair with them, and I wasn't disappointed.  They've got some seriousl lovely pieces in Primark at the moment, I may have to make another trip!  But here's the first few bits I picked out to pair with my 'disco pants'.

Top Left ~ I love this little polka dot shirt its so cute and drapes really nicely

Top Right ~ This t-shirt has become one of my faves already.  it's super comfy and the perfect length with the trousers

Bottom Left ~ I can't wait for summer and I think I'll have to save this one till the sun makes a reappearance!

Bottom Right ~ I couldn't help myself when I saw these socks, so cute!

Challenge Yourself

In a bid to up my fitness and become a healthier human being I've been working out a lot more than I ever have before.  I figured that seeing as every year I set myself the same goal, to feel comfortable in my bikini on holiday, maybe this year I should actually do something about it!

I'm not the greatest at repetitive programs as I loose interest waaay too quickly but across January I managed to (mostly) stick to Jessica Smith TV's January Challenge and do something each day.

As February rolled around and the challenge ended I started to get a little lazy again.  So today I have decided to take up a new challenge and to try and complete as many challenges as possible this year.

Today I found the 30 Day Fitness Challenges page and I think I may have a new fitness go-to.  They have loads of challenges that last (unsurprisingly) for 30 days so you can do one a moth or, if you're feeling really brave, give a couple a go at the same time.

I've decided to start off with the 30 Day Ab & Squat Challenge as my bum and stomach are both areas that I'm really self conscious about.  I'm hoping to ad another challenge at the start of March to keep pushing myself and hopefully see more of a change.

Now I've written this all down I've no excuse for not doing it!  Wish me luck!
