You Just Made My Day

Hey everyone,

Hope your well and enjoy the sunny weather were having. I was chilling in the park and I got thinking how lucky I am. And how grateful I am to have this slice of happiness in my life.

It doesn't matter what mood I'm in or that I don't spend as much time as I’d like too with him. His there with a wagging tail and plenty of kisses - not in the face though I think that's gross.

It just dawn on me that Kyzer is my best friend and I am just in ore how  much I appreciate every second with him. Over the years from puppy to adult, we had a few health scares and it truly break my heart when his in pain but all worked out in the end - praise God.

The way he would come into the living room, sit down next to me, fart, then leave. I don’t know if you guys have ever had the misfortune of smelling and dog fart. But it is worst thing ever and sometimes I swear the fart smells worst then the poo.

Kyzer is quite a verbal dog and often tries to talk me, I imagine his telling me about his day and how  hot he is because his covered in fur.

His getting older and slowly but surely his developed a cataract in his eyes, so his eyes slight is not so good. He bumps into doors sometimes which I normally chuckle at, because he does it with a smile and his just so happy. Its like a cute old man whose shocked that a door has materialised out of nowhere.

The attitude of a dog is definitely something to be admired, their positivity, enthusiasm, loyalty and love are things that we humans struggle with. I have learnt so might from him and love him so much.

I just wanted to share a bit of what's important to me on here, I know not everyone can relate or isn’t a pet owner. But the attachment you build to your pet is truly amazing, maybe you guys feel similar towards your pets? Let me know if you have a pet and can relate.

Have an awesome week guys x.

If I Could Teleport

Hi everyone,

The days are getting brighter and is slowly warming up... as warm as it get by UK standards anyway. Today I was daydreaming about travel and holidays. I have definitely got the urge to go away to see something new. 

So for a small chunk of November (I know ages ago, but I did say I was daydreaming) I was away on holiday to Kenya ~ yay! I was so excited about this trip as it was my first time in Africa and my first holiday abroad without any member of my family. I don't mean that in a bad way of course, I mean in terms of growing up and finding your own independence. Another reason way I was overly excited was because it was my best friends wedding!

But I just wanted to share pictures we you guys, because I really did have a wonderful and Kenya is a beautiful country.

This is Lake Victoria in Kisumu, often hippopotamuses swim in the lake and walk onshore to have a lay down - I know random.

The locals were really friendly, polite and welcoming. They go out of their way to help you and share anything they have. It makes you look at things in a different light, my problems seem to small I comparison yet I was surrounded by big happy smiles. But in a weird way I felt bad taking pictures with them; I didn't want it to seem like I was exploiting them, like they're some kind of sideshow. Because that is not how I feel at all.

After spending some time in Kisumu we moved to Mombasa which is the more coastal side of Kenya.

As pretty as it was there, it soon became clear there was few issues. Parts of it was treated like a dumping ground, it was truly a shame to see.

These monkeys may look cute but they will try to steal your food, or in my case bite me! I'm not even joking I was actually bitten by a monkey.

Anyhoo its relax time at Leopard Beach Resort and Spa...book, music, chill ~ ahhhh perfect

Eating dinner watching the moon glisten in the sea. It all feels like dream thinking about it now, but reflecting back on Kenya has just made me more enthusiastic to travel. I have no idea where to go though, I've always wanted to go France and as its only around the corner why not? 

If you could teleport to anywhere in the world, where would you travel and why?

Fools Easter

Hey everyone,

How is it April already? Hope your well and hope your having a cracking Easter haha see the joke there lol. But seriously I just wanted to say have a blessed Easter.

... Out of His sorrow came our joy.

This year I've been spending loads of time with the family, which has been great. Plus on top of that I had my cousins baby shower. Spending this quality time has really made me appreciate having each and every one of them in my life. and I'm really looking forward to the new additions. 

How cute are these cupcakes? They were really yummy too first cupcake I've had that hasn't been dry.

This was made by a family friend, out of baby clothes, nappies and accessories, she is so talented and creative.

Did you have a good Easter?

Take Care x

Forgetful With Age, Are We?

Hey everyone,

How are you all doing?

So let me give you a quick catch up with what's going on with me. So last week was my birthday and I'm not even going to the actual day was pants. One reason for this is my birthday fall on a Wednesday so most people are at work, so for the daytime it was me and Kyzer, pampering ourselves. Which to be fair, isn't that bad, but having your friends around is better. 

Messing around with Kyz <3

I was going to meet one friend for lunch but that didn't happen and neither did the meet up for dinner kmt! Honestly its one day of the year, the day never changes. And you’re really going to come to me with excuses?

I want action! LOL *jokes*

Anyway the weekend was a bit better some family and friends came over to the house. Which was nice. I’m the person would doesn't really like a big fuss, just keeping it simple. So plenty of food, music and games until silly o'clock :)

I was also taken out for mini dinners with friends who live a bit further out, I should have taken more pictures really. Its cute little moments like that you really should record.

Gotta love plant close ups

Gift-wise I did ok, considering the I’m all grown up now I wasn’t expecting much, I won’t list them though just out of respect. I did however get a beautiful bunch of flowers. Which I know isn’t really a big deal for most people but I never get flowers so I thought these were pretty cool.

Simple but beautiful, just the way I like it

This was one of my favorite gifts from my ‘Girly’, it’s this really cute photo album and notebook. These days I’ve been speaking a lot about wanting to do more with friends and family and travel more. So I was so chuffed and touched to get this. And this has given me the boost I needed to update my camera – seriously there are phones better lol. Or I could even update my computer, actually I have a slight confusion to make, that’s why i haven’t been blogging as much because its finally deciding to die. We see what happens first ^_^
Aside from birthday stuff things have been erm… interesting but I won’t sour the mood of this post so I’ll say it in another (which well come hopefully soon). 

This post is getting kind of long so I’ll wrap it up for now, hope your well.

Bye for now x
