laptop, coffee cup and cake on bed. giving cosy vibes

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 and editing too. I still can't quite believe I've posted two weekly vlogs already and have my third ready and scheduled for next Tuesday. I really think along with blogging I have found the 'social media' I actually enjoy and want to keep creating on.

I mean it's still early early days. I'm still quite cringy to watch on the camera and I'm still getting the hang of the editing. But I'm really enjoying it. 

I just can't quite stay consistent with Instagram anymore, Facebook is just for info it seems, TikTok I just can't get on with (I find it too noisy, haha, must be my age) and X/Twitter I've been trying to get back into, but again I'm not quite feeling it anymore. 

YouTube really feels like it fits. It's bizarre, even though my videos are out there for the world to see, no make-up, no filters, but I feel comfortable with it. I think long form content is definitely for me. Which I never thought I'd be brave enough to post to YouTube, let alone want to keep posting every week. 

I'm so chuffed with myself I just gave it ago, worked out the editing (with the help of Google and Chat GPT) and just got over myself and tried. 

Also this week I had a dentist check up, have you seen my post on my recent Emdogain surgery? My dentist seems happy so far with the progress, the gum has sealed and healed up completely and on my next appointment at the end of April she'll take x-rays to see how the bone is doing. Fingers crossed it's starting to regenerate and the bone becomes healthy and strong again. I don't think the gum will ever grow back, apparently gums don't regrow, but there might be something they can do about the gap. We'll see though, I don't know if I want to go through anymore dental surgery! Not at the moment anyway.

I'm keeping up with my steps still and made sure I got my walk in this morning as the rain was forecast. I'm so pleased I did as the rain is super heavy and there's no way you could walk in it. Well you could, but you'd be drenched and probably end up with a cold. Both not fun.

I think I'm going to leave you guys here. I still need to hoover the bedroom and I think I'm going to make some of my Nutella hearts. Once Nas gets up that is! You can't disturb a cosy cat, it's the law!


Anyway, ciao friends and see you next week!

Happy weekend 

♥ Heather

Happy New Year

  Happy New Year! I just wanted to pop on here quickly and wish you all a very Happy New Year. As you know I've recently started the blog up again and it has been a bit of a slow burner getting back into it. The last couple of weeks something seems to have switched though and I really want to get up and running properly. I know I've literally done two posts and this will be my third lol, but I am really enjoying having a blog again and sharing whatever comes along. I'm under no illusion the blog will be a slow burner, which to be honest I want it to be, I want to get myself into the swing of it all, challenge myself and get myself into the habit of posting regularly and consistently. The beauty of blogs is that they can be read at any time which is wonderful, but I think for me to get into the habit that I want, I need to have a focused day I will release my posts on. So, for now I am going to start posting just once a week to begin with on a Thursday. (Hence me making sure...

Backing up pictures

Image
  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 ...

My daily beauty products

Image
  Hi Guys, I hope 2026 is treating you well so far. In my previous  post  I mentioned about some beauty products I had just started using and I will report to you my thought's in due course, but it got me to thinking about the products I already use on a daily basis. My bathroom staples if you like, the go-to's.  It's something I'm always curious to know, what are the products on peoples sinks, their everyday toiletries. Not the ones that maybe an ad feature or collaboration, but the ones that get popped in the shopping basket week after week, month after month. The products that may not be as aesthetically pleasing, but always make the cut. I'm not going to go through every single product I use, 'cause quite frankly you and me just don't have the time and if you're anything like me you haven't got the attention span for it either. But I am going to show you the main players that I literally use everyday. Some I do switch up according to price and ju...
