Don’t just loose weight get healthy.

Evening all hope your all well..

Anyone else sick of the sight of left over Christmas food.

Why do we buy so much crap over Christmas to complain in January we are feeling overwhelmed and overweight.

You either eat it and don’t complain.

Or just eat in moderation.

Health kicks can happen all year round.

Flipping hate new year and new me bullshit you can change at anytime in life.

Why wait till new year the list to join slimming world this Monday coming will be as long as the Great Wall of China.

And no way are you just going to be able to jump on a treadmill as easy as before either but don’t panic by the end of February it will all go back to normal.

I don’t mean to sound condescending.

I’m all for people becoming a better version of themselves just know you can do it all year round not just for nye.

Get ready for the keep fit videos.

And the dodgy weight loss pills and plans..

Seriously they do not work I’ve got many of stories some embarrassing ones too about crappy weightloss pills and plans.

One time not in band camp 🤔😂..

I actually thought I was dying I had taken a pre workout supplement before I headed to the gym my heart was beating so fast I had to go to hospital wouldn’t regulate for a while was very scary.

I actually tried to follow a detox plan let’s just say that didn’t go well either.

There isn’t any quick fix that safe around. it’s abusing your body putting it under pressure to survive on these stupid shake and one meal a day rubbish.

Real food little and often and the right combination of food to.

Bread is a massive downfall in human consumption.

Bread to me is like the devil can’t even sniff the stuff makes me so ill in so many ways I really don’t miss gluten or wheat.

Exercise 3 times a week max that’s a healthy recommend amount of times to go your body needs to rest in between to prevent over doing it.

Loosing a lot of weight all at once is also deamed to be dangerous it’s better to loose it slowly than too quickly.

We need to think of what we put into. Our body fuels us for the day ahead.

Good education on food and healthy balanced diet is what’s nessary to achive and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I’m starting back my running this weekend with a run on the beach I live by some lovely places running to me clears my head helps my body and my strength.

Please think twice when your looking for a quick fix to loose weight there isn’t one.

I’m Sorry to say takes determination and the will to want to be healthy and maintain everyday life.

You really must want to do it for yourself and not for anyone else.

Love to you all 😊

Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.

Happy new year all…

Starting the year as I mean to go on..

I’m following my own path however messy and complicated it gets.

I very rarely get times that I can just be still and really take in what’s around me.

It’s been a quite morning and I find myself scrolling through movie choices I asked the universe to show me something that will help me along my journey into 2020.

This year I wanted to feel emotions without feeling weak.

Express love without feeling reserved.

To move on and to know it’s ok to look forward to whats next.

So it sent me the shack… A 2017 film well that year my life really did start to break down and take a dramatic twist.

It was a sign to show me how much strength I’ve gained from my experience.

Although the story line at first was a little out of touch but mostly I saw a lot of my own experiences all throughout this amazing film.

It was one of those films that takes you all through emotions hurt, loss, pain, anger and love.

It actually takes your breath away in some parts.

Although there was a religious aspects to the film it really opens your thoughts to higher power at work I’m not to sure its christ but something else at work.

I’m not really religious but I believe in Spirit world and universal Higher power sounds crazy right but I’ve had to many experiences for me to actually think otherwise.

I actually started the film at 11:11

Again massive believer in Angel numbers not going soft in my old age but if it’s given to me I’ll happily take it..

Everything that’s in the past is gone.

Everything in the present is meant for us.

Everything in the future is a blessing.

If your feeling a little out of line today after new year brings in so many emotions I would recommend you watch this film.

Take some time out get yourself a cup of tea and do some soul healing.

Even in the darkness of the night there’s still a possibility of light…

Love to you all 😊

Decade 🎊🎊🎊

#decade #newyear

Thanks to the last ten years it’s made me realise I am enough..

Some of my best moments was of course watching my children grow and finding their feet in the world ..

Actually growing proper eyebrows is a massive achievement…

Letting go and reconnecting with great people.

Finding a work place that I actually enjoy going to work to most of the time… Truth be told its the girls I work alongside that make it..

Just being able to follow my own path without fear or thoughts of doubt from others.

I’ve restarted my passion singing and music.

In some ways it’s been a bloody terrible year but in other ways I’ve turned pain into lessons and I’ve learnt the hard way.

Getting closer to my family through hard times we always have each other.

To stop feeling guilty for actually living my life.

To everyone I really hope you stay authentic in 2020 carry On being yourself and don’t be afraid of who you are the right people always love you in the end xx

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊

I will be relaxing this evening and probably in bed asleep for 11pm but I’m still so rock and roll….

Ten years of hard work and up keep
Ten years of freindship even if there was a break true freinds never really go away.. Very much look forward to February xxx
Yes ten years between have actually grown proper eyebrows and yes with minor procedure to my lips 💋 feeling 💯 times better #confidence

Love to you all

Stay safe

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves

Evening all ❤️

As we approach the last day of the decade I just wanted to do a little blog post.

I’m going to get straight to the point…

I absolutely hate new year its the worst time ever so many emotions running around.. Your feeling a little nostalgic it’s only human to feel that way.

As you say goodbye to another year you reflect over the past but this time its a whole decade to reflect on.

And wow how life’s changed in so many ways.

I’ve lost and I’ve loved.

I’ve learnt so much about myself.

I’ve also changed dramatically mind body and soul.

I’m not the same person I was all those years ago.

Past 18 months I’ve seen extremely dark times I’ve fucked up opportunities that could of turned out to be amazing.

Due to fear and hurt from the past.

I’ve learnt to forgive and let go.

Growth is important to me and I truly appreciate everyone I have around me.

For me new year isn’t only to make changes its a chance to make a better you.

Embrace what you have and realise what you lost in the process and being OK with loosing it.

What is meant to be always radiates back to us what is not doesn’t.

Everytime I see the brightest star in the sky at night I will let you cross my mind for a short while….

So I have no plans for going out nye I don’t want any but my perfect night would be gin music and my guitar so that’s what I will do.

I want to apologise to any one I’ve hurt I’m truly sorry..

I want to thank everyone for being apart of my journey however short or long you have travelled alongside me.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

I really hope your happy all my love stacie xxx

Salt of the Earth, my friend It’s all that we are in the end..

Evening all hope your all well.

Thanks to Mr Lewis Capaldi for the headline it’s take from his track headspace.

He’s not the most colourful and prettiest crayon in the box but when he sings he hits places in your soul not even gandhi could reach.

I’m in a reflective mood today.

I’ve been trying to keep myself busy with Christmas trying to block everything out and make Christmas special for my girls.

It’s hard when you put so much pressure on yourself to become perfect when you know deep down your far from even resembling perfect.

When we are kids we are told to grow up, go to school, leave school, get a job fall in love , own your own home get married have babies.

Well isn’t that just perfect!!!

Life’s really not just about the order seeing the bigger picture that’s good if you live life to follow the path living a stereotypical life.

I’m not knocking anyone that does want or follows that path in life but it’s not really what we are meant to just do is follow.

Life isn’t about following it’s about living.

So ok if you don’t see or enjoy the simple things in life your missing out on samples of what life has to offer.

Worring about fitting in and being perfect living up to other people’s expectations and ignoring your own.

We are told by people you can’t follow your dreams because your not good enough.

You are forced to stay in a relationships or commitments you dispise because your scared of what comes next and you hate change.

Forced to give up your time to please other people for some who never give anything back….

For me anyone who doesn’t see the signs around them and enjoys the simple pleasures of life are dangerous they only see one path and that’s just going to end in a complete soul breakdown.

Everything you have been through has made you stronger it’s made you wiser and you got through it.

Sometimes we are hit with situations because it’s taking us onto better things in life and instead of being bitter thank the situation or the person for being a part of your journey but you must close the door and move on.

But you need to breathe and forgive yourself and think Fuck fear, fuck self doubt, fuck what others think…

Just do you…..

Sorry for swearing 🤬

Today I’ve been chilled I’ve been to the beach with my youngest and I’ve been to see frozen 2 and even in that Ive seen signs for myself.

Signs from the universe are everywhere even in the smallest of experiences you just need to look for them and take them on board.

Being at the beach recharges my soul clears my head and makes me refocus and realise how lucky I am to be alive and live the life I live it’s not always easy or smooth sailing and everyday I’m a slave to the heartbreak.

But everyday I wake up its a blessing.

With the last few days remaining in 2019 I want to let go, I want to say I forgive you because I do.

Thank you for being a part of my journey and if the universe crosses our paths again know that I’m a completely different soul in the same body.

Love to you all 😊

You!!!!!

Evening all ❤️

To celebrate the return of the Netflix series You I’ve decided to do a little blog post.

For those who have not seen it your totally missing out…

Here is a little discription of what the first series was about.

What would you do for love?

For a brilliant male bookstore manager who crosses paths with an aspiring female writer, this question is put to the test.

A charming yet awkward crush becomes something even more sinister when the writer becomes the manager’s obsession.

Using social media and the internet, he uses every tool at his disposal to become close to her, even going so far as to remove any obstacle –including people — that stands in his way of getting to her.

Sounds creepy right things like this only happen for our viewing pleasure right…

Well your wrong.

I have been on receiving end of both sides being stalked and being called a stalker believe me neither of them is very nice.

The Internet is a wonderful place for humans to learn to grow to connect further than what we anticipate but it’s also a dark and sinister place.

When you share your life with millions of people you don’t realise how much information your giving freely.

This is something I didn’t take to lightly when I started blogging.

You think sharing a nice selfie or sharing your thoughts would just be innocent but to millions of people it can be interpreted many ways.

So let’s start with the stalker well it used to freak me out but now I find it quite sad for the person involved having an addiction to someone can be just as bad as drugs or alcohol abuse.

You can try and ignore block and try and move on with life but for that person temptation is always there curiousty gets the better of you.

It’s not fun for neither that are involved.

When I decided to blog I did think about the impact it would have on others.

But I couldn’t just give up because of the worry about upsetting people this is my life I couldn’t get my voice heard any other way so I decided to just go ahead with it.

I’m very technical headed I know my way around a computer but in no way will I be working for nasa in the future but I definitely understand alot about hidden ip’s and ways around hiding your true self online.

That’s the geek in me….

But anyway you can’t try and fool a smart women I see you taking a peek and honesty it’s not going to put me off my blogging.

I never disclose my location untill I’ve been and returned home.

I’m safety smart.

But honestly it’s not cool to have your every move watched and analysised by someone lurking in the shadows.

I’m more open than what people think if you want to know something and I’m comfortable with giving you an answer to your question then I will but if I’m not comfortable I will say.

That’s just me….

On to me being called a stalker….

We this I didn’t take lightly because it wasn’t me actually stalking I had been ghosted infact it had happened a few times by the same confused person.

I don’t actually think mine was stalking I’ve been stalked before it’s not nice so I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through it.

Mine was more a state of confusion of why what happened.. What did I do that was so wrong, why didn’t they like me.

Me being a virgo I needed to know well least to say I never did get the proper answer to why things went down the way they did.

So I just decided to drop it no point keep going over old ground.

No one likes rejection or to think there not good enough for soneone but instead of being honest people run away hide and block people of course your going to go a bit cuckoo trying to figure it all out.

You send the odd email or social friend request that’s not stalking.

Fake profiles, constant phone calls and messages and hiding who you are online to peep is stalking.

Not trying to find out why you wasn’t good enough for someone you fell in love with.

I just wanted to make that perfectly clear.

If my blog makes you uncomfortable please don’t read it I don’t make anyone click my link you do that out of your own curiosity.

Honestly I would recommend you watch you on Netflix it’s onto its second series now so if you haven’t seen it please watch from the start that’s what a real stalker is.

Stay smart stay safe..

Love to you all 😊

Last Christmas in the decade

Hey all ❤️

Merry Christmas I hope you all had a great day yesterday.

I had a great day with my little family my girls absolutely loved it.

Which was my main goal it’s important that they both understand that Christmas time is about family not just the gifts.

I was dreading Christmas but I really don’t know why i hyped myself up over it.

It’s time for reflection which isn’t always a good thing to some people it can be quite painful if they have lost loved ones it can be quite lonely this time of year if your on your own.

But what you always have to think is that it won’t always be this way a lot can happen in a year.

I don’t mean to sound condescending but it’s true.

Obviously I missed my mum and dad and my sister and my neice but we all do our own thing that’s what we have always respected between each other.

I’m just glad we had chance to video chat before dinner and too much gin.

Gin makes me emotional so I tend to go off grid when I’ve had gin 😂.

After the gavin and Stacey Xmas special I was pretty much emotional anyway..

Say yes smithy….. Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻

So today is boxing day and I will be stuffing my face and enjoying more festive drinks with good company… but being back at work tomorrow I can’t have to many festive drinks today 😉

I’m currently blogging from my bathtub using the most amazing smelling soap and glory products.

It’s one of my best Christmas presents I always receive for Xmas is soap and glory I absolutely love their products.

My lovely mum and dad also brought me this amazing product which I will be reviewing in the new year…

So here’s to 2020 I’m a women on a mission this year so watch out ❤️❤️

Have a great boxing day wherever you are in the world 🗺.

Love to you all 😊

Stacie 🐚 💋 💄 ❤️ ❤️

You better think

Hey hey hey all…

It’s like 2 days till Christmas crept up as fast mo farah after a bowl of quorn mince.

You know when you decide to do nothing all weekend but then your out everyday yes it sounds like it’s Christmas let’s panic for one day.

I’m so so happy I’ve reached milestone in my blogging career I’m so happy i decided to start blogging back in April I never thought people would find me so interesting.

I’ve been very careful not to blog about some very personal issues in my life even if I’ve wanted too share with you all my experience.

I’ve really had to sit and think about what to post about without hurting anyones reputation.

It’s been very tough not to share with you all but maybe it will come out in my book who knows.

It’s really important to me that I dont upset the apple cart for people even if they deserve it.

2020 isn’t about being bitter for me it’s about me my girls and my future.

You know in life we are meant to meet people for a reason.

One to learn lessons from.

Two to make memories with.

Three to share love with.

Four to laugh with.

The pain and hurt heals after time you let go you move on nothing you can do will change the past.

Unless your. …

I wouldn’t change my past its made me who I am today and what I’ve encountered I can share with others and give an honest opinion and advice.

Sometimes you just have to sit and think for a while quiten your mind see where your heart flows that’s where you know home truly is.

Could be a place or an individual but either way its home.

Love to you all 😊
