Life Lately

Life Lately....Christmas Edition 2016



Hi everyone so I've not blogged in a while and as I'm feeling the festivity I thought I would write a bit of a catch up post before I do a Christmas post!

So much has happened this year, in the past couple of months even so I'll just give you the highlights and try not to bore you too much!

<- my happiness project
Happiness: This year I have grown up a lot and started to realise and accept who I am as a person and how to embrace the things and people that make me happy. I have finally become a vegetarian and have spent the past two months meat free, this was hard at first I did miss the bacon sandwiches and burgers but I have also loved a variety of vegetarian dishes anyway so it wasn't too much of a transition for me and I have enjoyed learning more about the planet in the process. For me this was a moral decision and before you ask Adam still eats meat, Its my personal choice and I don't push my views on others and my family and friends have been so supportive so thank you all! :)
Hummus and Pizza are still my favourite foods...forever <3







New Hobbies & Interests: One thing I have learnt to accept and embrace about myself is how much I love to try new things and learn new skills, I used to think being a "jack of all trades" - somebody else's words not mine! was a bad thing but then I realised that if I live my life experiencing so much how could that possibly be a bad thing!? so recently I have got into card making, I love making personalised cards for the ones I love to me it makes it a little bit more special! I have also wrote a couple of poems that I am going to frame and sell in my Etsy Store and I have just picked up a tarot card set so I can start learning to read tarot! Yep I'm going all mystic meg on you and releasing my inner witch!

Helping Others: Recently I took part in the big sleep out in Oxford whereby I slept outside on a cold October night to raise money to help the homeless this winter (thanks to all those who sponsored me!) it ignited my passion for supporting those in need and I feel very proud to say I now have a job working for May Day Trust a housing support charity in Oxford, I love working in pharmacy and will continue to do so also but having this opportunity to finally truly help those in need has made me very happy!

All about the paws...

 

I'm sure the whole world is aware that we brought our gorgeous kitten JiJi back in August well he is now 5 months old and has become a very handsome and loving young cat, like every feline he is a nuisance sometimes terrorising the Christmas tree and attacking our feet under the bedsheet but me and Adam absolutely adore him! He is our little fury bundle of loveliness and I cant wait to put his little elf costume on him at Christmas- that's right we're that couple! haha

I will try and do a 2016 round up post and then one for Christmas before the years out, hope you enjoyed this one and a very merry Christmas to you all if not, be Christmassy and be kind always!

Thanks- Kiki =] x
