Friday Favourites: Sharing the Blog Love

Friday, 9 January 2015


Welcome one and all to Friday Favourites, every week I'm going to be showing you some things online that I have enjoyed that week. Each week will also have a different theme, so that you don't all see the same things all the time!

If you read my New Years Blog Resolutions then you will know that one of them is to Network more, and one of the ways which I wanted to do this was by commenting on other blogs more, and spreading some love. What better way to do that, then to dedicate a whole post to other bloggers, and with it being the beginning of the year, I thought I should share my favourite bloggers of 2014!


I have been reading Becky's blog pretty much as long as I have been blogging.What initially drew me in was her awesome blog design, I mean just LOOK at it *drools everywhere*... Then when I read her posts I was just hooked. I think the thing I love the most about reading Becky's blog is that it's like sitting down with a friend and having a chat. I myself have been lucky enough to meet Becky, twice, and she is just as lovely and approachable in real life, as she is in her blog. If you've never come across her before then I must insist that you go to her blog now...


I hadn't come across Leona's blog before I actually met her. I went to a Bloggers Halloween party hosted by Becky, and there I met Leona. She's bright, and funny, and you can tell she's a great laugh. One of the first things I did after getting back from that party was check out her blog. I was delighted to find that she has a Jack Russell called Rex, who actually looks scarily like my Jack Russell, Maizey. I love reading about Rex and Leona's adventures together, and I will continue to read them for as long as I can!


I honestly don't remember how I stumbled upon Victoria's Vintage, but boy am I glad I did. Victoria's vintage inspired post always brighten up my day (and make me insanely jealous of her home decor). She has the home and style that I aspire to, and she's loves baking, just like me!


Charl(otte)'s blog is another one that I have been reading pretty much since I started up this blog. Her blog is a mixture of all of her thoughts on Beauty, Fashion, and just general life. I think the best think about her blog is her style, it's very up front, and sassy, and perfect for me to be honest. In real life I've very much like Charl is on her blog, so I think that may be why I relate to her so much.

Sophia's blog is just beautiful... She's my go to for reviews on the latest and greatest beauty items being talked about on the blogosphere. She really knows her stuff, and for that reason she's brilliant for people like me, who don't really know a hell of a lot about beauty...

There you are folks, five of my favourite blogs from 2014! Please click the photos to check out the blogs directly and show these ladies some love, and I hope you enjoy their blogs as much as I do every day.

No Spend January: Update

Sunday, 12 January 2014


As you may or may not know, I am taking part in a spending ban. I've managed to surprise myself by doing pretty well so far. As mentioned in my previous post, I was very worried about spending a lot of money on food, but I've been a very good girl this week.

First off I managed to sell an old iPhone 3GS that I had lying around for £40, so that gave me a little boost! Meaning I didn't have to be as strict with myself this week.

On Sunday my boyfriend treated me, by taking me to the cinema, and we also went for dinner beforehand and I paid for my own food. However seeing as we went to a Weatherspoon's, it really wasn't expensive at all. My boyfriend was kind enough to also buy me a Ben and Jerry's at the cinema! (he's certainly a keeper)

Other than that this week I have been a very good girl. I did have to buy myself some dry shampoo, as I actually ran out, but I managed to find an amazing offer in Superdrug! Three cans of dry shampoo for only £2, needless to say I am set for a long time.

Other than that this week has been fairly uneventful spending wise. I hope I continue on this winning streak though! Let me know in the comments if you are also taking part in a spending ban.
