Claire 💖

Claire's birthday is coming up, now I'm not going to post what I'm buying her because she reads this blog 😂 I want to do something special for her because I am unable to make her birthday meal, although we have our cocktails night at our favourite bar, Surburban. I've put so much thought into this present, because Claire deserves to be spoiled. She deserves to be shown kindness because she has shown nothing but kindness and care for me. I wish I was able to return the favour, hopefully her birthday gift will shown even a smudge of how much I care about her. She's one of my closest friends. I love you Claire Bear 💞💞

Realising your dreams

I know what I want now, my main career goal. I want to work for the rolling stone, in New York. Talking about rock music and devoting my life to 80's and 90's rock and grunge, it's my calling. I'm going to get there. It's where I belong. 

The commitments

Going to the theatre is the greatest passion I have. The combination of musicals and the 80's, the commitments was directly up my street. It had the right amount of comedy, music, soul and love. I've never experience anything quite like it. 

So I've been writing again. I'm so glad because it's been so long since I was inspired, and I have no idea where this inspiration is coming from. I want to hold on to it, I want to keep it close to me before I lose it. Fiction is my art, I want to keep it close. 

Let it be

Beatles tribute bands are cool. I'm so punk. 

Livi ❤️❤️❤️

I've really gotten into this meditation stuff. It's making me see things clearly, things are no longer muddled in my head and I feel a certain sense of clarity in my soul. That sounds so lame, but it's true. The combination of both Pilates and meditation is doing wonders for my self worth. I've really come into myself. I've reignited my love for the edgy music I used to be into, and I've opened my eyes  to all new experiences. I want to travel, but I don't want to make travelling plans. I just want to go. I want to live my life with spontaneity. I love this new image I am representing. I'm not going to wish to be a better person, I'm going to BE a better person. I came up with this new way of life, and I'm so happy with the way it's turning out. Write myself a note every day with a piece of advice in it. Follow that advice. Live my life. 

It's a good time to be me :):):)

Not only is my cousin pregnant, the cousin I was bridesmaid for, but the baby is going to be my godson/daughter! And there's a wedding coming up that I'm being a maid of honour at, beyond exciting! So yeah, it's a good time to be me :)

The second celebration for mum's birthday!

I had the loveliest night yesterday, celebrating mama's birthday! Firstly we went for cocktails at the Waldorf, which was lovely but incredible posh, all their cocktails were like incredibly posh and I'm thinking - can't a girl get a sex on the beach? Which I asked for and they did for me, and it was the most beautiful tasting sex on the beach I will ever have. But after that we then found this lovely little bar in convent garden, called Belushi's. I think it was a Spanish owned bar. It had great atmosphere and amazing cocktails! The decorations on the walls were fabulous, it was the best place actually. 

Wedding Number 4: Rosie&Dan, August 2014

Ahh, now my beautiful cousin Rosie finally found her true love. Dan and Rosie are the perfect match, and their beautiful son Archie only adds to the magnificence of the family. This wedding was flawless, Rosie looked stunning in her dress and Dan very dapper in his tweed suit!

The cake and decor were flawless, it smells like the 90's being a common statement said among the guests. The retro themes were transcendent and very flattering of the couple. I had a wonderful time!

Now lets talk about the free bar! Waheyyy!

Rosie's maid of honour, Heather, did a reading during the ceremony. She choked up a few times throughout it, then was crying with happiness for her best friend. As well as there being a marriage made, Rosie and Heather formed an even stronger bond. There is no greater honour than being someone's Maid of Honour. From what I can tell, she did a splendid job of it too. Heather also happens to be one of the most stunning women I've ever met, and her and Rosie make a fabulous team.

Wedding Number 3: Leah&Lyndon August 2014

This was the wedding of Leah and Lyndon. It came as a great surprise to receive an invitation, seeing as we're quite distantly related. This wedding I was most excited for, having seen Leah's hardships while growing up, all I wanted was to see her happy. Lyndon is a great person, and together they have done a spectacular job of raising Freya and Olivia. I wish them all the luck in the world.

The photobooth was an amazing touch to an already brilliant day! The photos were printed out instantly, two copies, one for the Wedding Book and the other for those who took the photo. It was magical. The mix of the props and alcohol ensured everyone would let their hair down, and I had a fantastic day.

The bridesmaid wore turqoise and each centrepiece was named after someone who took part in the wedding. Our table, number 7, was for Millie, my beautiful younger cousin who was also a bridesmaid for Leah. It was a beautiful setting, and the theme was clearly about their freedom. They had lots of birdcages for decorations, which only adds to the beauty and magic of their special day.

These chatterboxes were absolutely glorious! They were fun and uplifting to those who have not yet fallen in love, or found their soulmate. I had a truly fantastic day.

Wedding Number 2: Ads&Rach, April 2014

This was the wedding of my cousin Adam, to my best friend Rachel. I was their Bridesmaid, and it was such a great honour to fill that role. Adam has always filled me with such confidence and made me feel loved, and I know that I have returned the favour many times after. These two remind me what love looks like, as I seem to have forgotten for a while. This April wedding was amazing, held in a barn in Eastbourne. It had a running theme of Game of Thrones, while our Bridesmaid dresses were Cadbury Purple, Adam's mum's favourite colour (sadly, she is no longer with us.) I was very proud of Adam and the way he handled himself on this day, and I'm grateful that he has Rachel to support and love him. 

Even posh barns have cocktails- and this wasn't my only one!
