A New Glow |

Hello my loves,

Recently I've been trying to work out just where I'm going and who I am again. I've found myself in a much happier frame of mind. Thats not to say that sometimes I get my low days, we all do and this isn't something I want to brush under the carpet. I always read these little posts on Facebook like "She glows differently" and for once I agree with that. I think theres just a few things that maybe my head has got round recently and its given me a fresh perspective.

Baking |

Oh how my heart loves a little bit of baking. I've been throwing myself into my baking and even made a nice little instagram to go with it. Im not really sure where I fell in love with baking, maybe its because I'm a little chunky monkey (I am curvy and I like it thank you very much), maybe its because I like to make people happy with food. We will never know. All I do know is that having that little outlet has given me a little pep in my step to get through the mentally draining shifts at work.

Apologising |

I am a handful. I spoke last time about how I can be like a hurricane when I have a meltdown. Admitting who I've become has sort of put my mind in a happier place. I've said my sorry's, Ive made amends and Im trying so hard to be a better person. I think I loose track of what I say and let me brain take over. I put too much on others and I needed to see that that was wrong. It wasn't wrong to feel how I felt, it was wrong to expect everyone else to pick up my pieces. I've spoke to a few people and just explained it a little and they have been a big support. I just feel better that Im trying to be better. I wont ever be perfect, I can just try to be the best version of myself. All the good bits magnified. 

Music |

I've found some songs from when I was growing up and its just made me feel so much happier. Isn't it amazing how one song can trigger such happiness in your brain. Now because these songs have made me so happy lately, Ill even link them for you. Maybe you're younger and would have never heard these songs. If so, please enjoy. Now I have a good range of music I like so I hope theres at least one you like.

Alphabeat - Fascination

Kate Bush - Wuthering heights 

Starship - Nothings gonna stop us 

The Beatles - When I'm sixty four 

Frozen - For the first time in forever

Frozen - Fixer upper

I think in life I've got to find the balance between my highs and lows, something I've struggled with a lot. Recently though I just feel a little bit like maybe I'm making some sort of progress. Maybe its having this new blog to keep me occupied. Maybe its because I was put in my place, where I needed to be to see who I was. Maybe its a mix of a lot of things.

Stay safe,

Come on in...|

Hello my love,

The little loves of life are what I live for. Those stolen moments of peace, laughter and happiness that we all crave. I've been doing the blogging since 2014 but I wanted, no I needed something new. A new chapter of my life to explore and create. I do hope you will enjoy the "Littlelovesoflife" as this isn't just for me. I want this to be a space where everyones welcome, where we all have a voice (so long as we keep respectful of others and spread love not hate). 

It's so easy to get caught up in the drama of life, something I know all too well never ends up having a happy ending. I will admit. I am a handful, I don't know when to stop talking, my mouth can get me in trouble but I never mean to cause any harm. My mental health is up and down, like everyones. Mostly more down, just this Monday on a lovely trip to Tesco's (I wanted a pair of Marvel joggers, did they have my size? Did they f**k). Whilst browsing the biscuit aisle I broke down, full on sobbing in the middle of the aisle whilst my mum just hurried to pay for her bits and then off home we went. I know exactly why but it made me reflect on who I was and who I had become and I didn't like it anymore. 

So after the most awful couple of days mentally this was born. For me its the little loves in life that get me through, like a hot bath while listening to the Main street USA music (Big Disney nerd) to the simplicity of just being cozied up in bed with a mug of tea ad covered in biscuit crumbs. Life right now is strange, were all being kept from those we love the most. I personally say as long as we're being safe, we need to do whats right for our mental health because I feel we are all struggling with that a little bit. I want this to be filled with the adventures I've been on and will be having, the sweet treats I make that made a bad day slightly better and the raw words of me in full meltdown. 

I'm not shying away from who I am, I'm like a hurricane when my mind is in that place and sadly I leave a path of destruction. This is the start of learning to deal with the storm and righting the wrongs of my past. I do hope that you find some comfort in this little section of the internet. I'm not doing this for the likes, the follows or anything else. I used to think that was important but now I just want to do this for all that know how it feels to feel alone, like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders. We're okay, you're safe here so take the weight off and just find some calm. All the people that like me, cause a little hurricane when they are sad. We're going to be okay. We can do this. 

Speak soon.
