We picked up my new car!

Image
  Hi guys and welcome back to the blog ♥ If you follow my  Instagram  and/or my  YouTube  you'd already know that last week we picked up my new car. And I love her! I must admit I was super nervous at first driving her as technically she's not that much wider then my Ecosport was, but she is longer, but to me she does feel bigger. I'm slowly but surely getting more used to her everyday. It does get easier every journey. If you remember we ordered the new Kuga back in December on Christmas Eve - you can catch up with the post  here .  We bought the car from the Ford dealership in San Miguel de Salinas. We've used another Ford dealership in the past for our last two Fords, unfortunately the customer service really went down hill from the showroom and service department, which to be honest really put us off. But I really liked the Kuga and didn't want to cut my nose off despite my face, as the saying goes.  So we went to the Ford in San Miguel and we...

  Good morning friends! In today's post I'm chatting about something I should of definitely taken my own advice on years ago! For about the last week or so I've been getting emails and notifications on my Gmail that I'm running out of space and I'm pretty much at full capacity. Since I've been saving my videos to upload to my YouTube for my vlogs I have noticed my space being taken up quite quickly. I've been quite good at clearing the Google drive and deleting videos from pictures as soon as I'm finished with uploading everything for my YouTube videos. But it's still close to full capacity. I've pretty much deleted all my emails - luckily Gmail isn't my main account, but the pictures seem to be what's taking up the most space. I literally had no idea that every time I take a picture they are not only saving to my phone gallery, but they are going over to Google pictures too. Please tell me I'm not the only person in the world not to ...

  Hi gang ♥ Welcome back to the blog - I'm writing today from a very wet and rainy Spain. I'm currently sitting on my bed under a blanket, comfy clothes and slouchy socks over my regular socks with three cats on me keeping me warm. And to be perfectly honest, I just can't find the motivation for today's blog post! The weather's been a bit grim all week and I just haven't been able to get a blog post together. I have titles for some posts in drafts but I just can't find the words to put anything together. I want to keep up the momentum of my Thursday posting schedule, which I know it probably doesn't really matter if I miss a week. It won't be noticed and it's not like its my job where I have a deadline to meet or a pay check depends on it. But I want to do it for me. Keep that consistency going and to show up even when I'm not feeling it. So, last week I told you guys about my new YouTube channel. I am actually really enjoying filming vlogs a...

I'm now on YouTube!

Image
  Hi Guys! Happy Thursday ♥ Welcome back to the blog. So big exciting news! I'm officially on YouTube! I've actually had an account for quite a few years now, just being a viewer really. I did put a short video of a couple of my kittens on there (which must of been around 2017) Rae and Rocco. (we sadly lost Rocco when he was 6 months old, but I'm so pleased I have that video of him, to be able to watch him anytime I want & somehow it feels like he's living on, through the power of the internet ♥) I didn't post for years, but it's something, like blogging, I've always wanted to do, but I always put myself off. We are terrible to ourselves sometimes aren't we!? Because I feel awkward in front of the camera, have no idea how to edit a video, put music to it etc etc. I always just talked myself out of it. The whole self doubt talk would enter my head, telling myself who did I think I was, no one would be interested in watching anyway. But like starting b...

My experience with Emdogain

Image
  Hola mi amigos! Happy Thursday and welcome back to the blog. I hope everyone is well. I wanted to chat today about my recent Emdogain surgery. They call it surgery, but I guess it's really a procedure, as it's done under local anaesthetic, they just numbed the area of the gum and it was done at my dentist practice. Either way it wasn't a pleasant thing to go though. My sympathy goes out to you if you're having this done or anything to do with your teeth for that matter.  I think since I had braces about 5 or 6 years ago my pain threshold for the dentist has completely gone down to zero. I never used to mind going to the dentist, but recently I dread it. It's probably because I'm getting older and things are sadly starting to go wrong. It just feels like every time you go they suggest something else that will need attention. Anyway, with that aside let me tell you a little bit about Emdogain. Well how I understand it anyway and what I've been through with i...

Nutella hearts recipe

  Hi guys, Bringing you a bonus post this week! I hope everyone had a good Valentines weekend ♥ Mark and I don't really celebrate it. I mean, does anyone really know anymore why it exists?! I just see it as a bit of light hearted fun and I really do believe it shouldn't be taken too seriously.  Saying that though we did do cards this year and I bought Mark a box of Lindor chocolates, which are his favorite and I'm quite partial too. I only got them as they are like gold dust here and I couldn't find any for his Birthday back in January. So when I saw a mixed box (the red ones are his faves) I had to get them. They were a mix of dark, milk and white chocolate. Obviously the milk (red) are delicious. I'm into dark chocolate at the mo, but to be honest the dark chocolate Lindor were just OK, I expected more to be honest. The white chocolate were really tasty and definitely came in second place to the milk chocolate ones.  Anyway, slightly digressing as per usual. You a...

I know what works for me

  on my own personal health and fitness journey. Hey guys, welcome back to the blog. I hope everyone is well and enjoying the joys of February so far. Just wanted to chat to you about something that happened at the weekend. A nutrition fitness coach popped into my DM's. Which is cool, I've followed her for a while and enjoy her posts when they pop up in my feed. I must of liked something recently which prompted her to start a conversation. She was just generally asking about my health and fitness journey, if I'm on one, if I'm working on any goals like weight loss, toning up and if I needed help with that. Now I get it, that's her job, she probably has qualifications and tons of experience in that field, but I do constantly get the mlm people also sliding into my Dm's so I kinda know how these conversations are going to go. But I do like to chat as you never know something might be relevant for you.  In this case though I was, I think, friendly back, lighthearte...
