 It's been a while, so what happened since my last post??

Well, frankly loads. As aforementioned on my December posts, 2017 went down like a lead balloon. 

I recently started again at a new job (hello car mechanics life!) which I choose to start in the new year to give my self some headspace so I had a really long Christmas break which was really desperately needed. 
Didn't have the money to go anywhere special but it was nice to just do nothing if you know what I mean. Working full time and trying to do all the adultey stuff life throws at you gets too much sometimes, you just need to take a step back to get the balance right and re-adjust.


 It was actually on New Years eve morning (before I covered myself in glitter and Ashish sequin-ness from my last post) that I woke up really early and couldn't get back off to sleep. So I got up and did the usual passing the time thing of checking Facebook/Instagram/browsing for clothes online when I remembered a candle holder I liked a couple of months ago in H&M so went to see if it was online which it was.

Then I spotted the botanical bathroom stuff they have and sat there in my onesie for the next half hour pinning everything to my Home Pinterest Board and dreaming what my ideal bathroom would look like when I suddenly found myself googling local property rentals to see if I could imagine this dream bathroom scenario in any of them and I came across this cute bungalow, local to our area, 2 bedrooms, bigger kitchen then ours and v. importantly, had a back and front garden! (and yes it does have a cute bathroom that's already in green tile/marble to make it look botanical looking!)

I went and showed this dream bungalow to Rich, who had finally got up at this point, and we both knew it was exactly what we wanted in a home and had been looking for for years since we moved in our top floor flat almost a decade ago. So we swooned over pictures for the New Years Day, then the very next day, as soon as the Estate Agents was open, I arranged a viewing and decided we would go for it!


We had already got just enough savings to go for it with all our holiday saving money so hopefully later in the year we can save up again and go away. It just felt like the right time to do this with all that's gone wrong this could finally be our year, and the bungalow is just soo perfect!

I can't wait to start checking out garden things and doing little homewear hauls so look out for those coming to the blog in future if I get time.

Time is pretty short at the mo as we only have a month to get all our stuff packed and organised. Sounds like a long time bit with full time jobs you only really have the weekends to really get things underway so I will try and blog where I can : )


There won't be any pics from this spot anymore as this is where we put our bins out behind the flat haha! I get to do some new blog location hunting in our new area which is always really good fun,

Hope you have all had a good start to the New Year so far, if you know of any good homewear stores hit me up in the comments below to your favourites and I'll check them out! 

Love, Sarah x x

  2. Looking so fierce and fabulous in this faux fur gorgeous girl, it's such a cute and cosy look that's both stylish and comfy, so STUNNING! I'm glad you had some headspace before the New Year as you so deserve it. I'm so excited for your new move, massive congrats on the bungalow beaut babe and I hope it's the home of your wildest dreams, you deserve it so so much! Keeping everything crossed this is the start of the happiest chapter ahead for you. I hope 2018 sees all your dreams and wishes come true as you deserve them all times a trillion. I love The Range for homeware goodies, there's one in Eastbourne I believe and it's literally a treasure trove of amazingness for the dreamy home feels! I can't wait for your homeware hauls and I really hope you manage to book a lovely getaway later in the year too. Sending all the love and good vibes your way stunning angel babe <3 <3 <3
