Every Adventures Requires a First Step..... 'The cheshire Cat'

Hello.

This post is going to be a little different, its going to be more of a lifestyle post, my intention when i started this blog was for it to be like a virtual scrap book of my life and to share my journey to anyone who happens to stumble across my little slice of the Internet and stays to read my ramble-ings *Waves* hello thank you for joining me! 

Back in the first week of January i joined my local Slimming World group. I have always been a bigger girl, ever since i was a child i was always bigger than all my friends, as a child i hated it, truth be told i just LOVE food! The older i got the less it bothered me, in fact i grew to love my curves!. It worried me even less when i met my husband at the tender age of 16. 

He always has and always will love me just the way i am, he loves my curves, each and every one of the wobbly bits of me! But there comes a time when you have to step out of your comfort zone to make a positive change and let the magic happen, and joining slimming world was my big first step out of my comfort zone for a very special reason. 

 

"If you love your curves them why are you joining slimming world?" 

The answer to this question is one the pains me the most in life and it is simply, "if i want to have a baby i have to loose weight"

I have always known from a very young age that i wanted to be a mum, and i always thought that when the time came it would happen without any problems, but when the time did come it hasn't happened as i had imagined that it would. 

You always hear of couples that have not been able to conceive naturally and you never think that it will happen to you. but alas here we are and yes it has. 

We have a had couple of fertility clinic appointments and as anyone who has a bit more wobble than they should will know, if you are having any health problems then you are usually told that "you need to loose weight", "i'm afraid your problems are weight related".

We have been told that we are eligible for a tablet called Clomid that will help us to conceive and that it would work better if i lost some weight.. so thus leads us to the here and now. 

I am now a fully fledged Slimming World member and three weeks in i am 9.5lb down and feeling so much better!

such a small amount of weight has made such a difference to how i feel and my confidence levels.

Our next clinic appointment has been given to us for the 24.2.15, i am optimistic of what the future hold for us and the rest of our journey to starting a family. 

I shall document this journey of weight loss and fertility as it happens and if i help of inspire even one of you then my job here is done. 

Take care 

all my love

Curvy Outfit Of The Day 27.1.2015...

Hi There, Hope your all well! 

Today i have a cheeky Curvy outfit of the day post for you, as we discoverd yesterday, my photoraphy skills leave a bit to be desired for and apparntly so do my husbands! so i appologise for the terrible photos, i am trying to get to grips with my fancy camera and apparntly it does not want to get to grips with me! 

Today i was working an afternoon shift once again so i has the morning at home to potter around so i just wanted to throw on something comfortable so i thaught that i would try out my new top, from yesterdays post. 

 

As you can (kind of) see it is a lovely red colour and just the right length for my body, not to short! 

 

  

It also covers my bum nicely so i can wear it with leggings and boots if i wanted! Today i just paired it with a pair of basic black skinny jeans (yes curvy ladies you CAN wear skinny jeans!)

and as i wasnt going out anywere, Socks on my feet! So glamarous 

All my love

Just another manic monday...

Today was a good day as far as mondays go...

Im not typically a monday lover, it is usually the busiest day at work, i always dread mondays as its usualy non stop especially the morning, as i only work half days Monday through Wednesday, which is usually 8:30 - 12:15 i tend to get the busiest part of the day. However today i had the chance to work and afternoon shift so i snapped it up.

I had already arrange with the mother that if i had the morning off i would go with her to the hospital for an appointment for a bit of company. Once she was sufficiently ultrasounded and her appointment was over we had a bit of time to kill before i had to head of to work. So we decided to pop over to good ol' Tesco to have a little mooch and to grab me some fruit for lunch (Skinny me here i come!) .

Im not usually a tesco fan... Asda girl through and through, i do however like to have a rummage through their clothing line as i have found some little gems in there before. 

I normally start in the sale section and work my way around, I usually go into a shop with something in mind i would like, today it was a new pair of black smart work trousers as my work jeans where starting to become a bit faded and baggy around the bum (not such a good look!). 

whilst i was looking i found a pair of 'Smart Tapperd Joggers', is how the tag described them, and a beautiful almoast metalic red long sleeved top. Im one of these people who buy before i try and one of my new years resolutions was to try on more things before i buy them so i dont have the annoying job of return things. So off i popped to the fitting rooms, which may i add are my nemesis but thats a whole other post, and tried on the trousers they fitted lovely and looked just as nice but when i got them on a I noticed that they had a horrible little strip of pleather down each leg. now i hate pleather with a passion, so that wrote those off. 

Now onto my litttle bargain of the day, the beautiful red top.

I am lacking in the long sleeved, longline top department, being a lady with, how do i put this? a rather large chest department and flabby arms so i was so pleased to find this top, I am quite a fussy person when it come to tops as i like them to be long to cover my belly and not to clingy so that they show off all my little sins. As soon as a tried this top on i was in heaven, metaphorical of course I didnt strangle myself whilst trying on the top, that would have lead to and interesting news headline! The fabric was so soft and felt lovely against skin, i cant stand scratchy fabrics! 

I shall put in a couple of pictures that i took when i got home, I have also come to the conclusion today that taking picture of clothes that are not on a person is more difficult than i anticipated so i shall need to work on my photography skills! 

 

These picture really dont do it justice the colour is an amazing shade of deep red and it has an almost metallic glint to it, on the one shoulder it has a small zip detail which i just love! It is long enough to cover my belly and my bum so can be work with jeans and with thick leggings. The neck line is a cowel neck and i dont know many clothes with this kind of neckline i find it to be actually quite flattering to my big bazoomers! 

 So all in all today was a good day, i didnt find any work trousers but i did however find a beautiful top that i shall probably wear to death! 

I shall see if i can roap the husband into taking some pictures of me wearing the top something this week and upload a little curvy OOTD for you.

hope you have all had a lovely monday and i shall speak to you all soon!

All my love

Hello 2015...

Hello 2015! 

I feel that i am a bit late on the band wagon for a 2015 'New year, New me' post, concidering that it is almoast Feburary! 

I have thaught about starting a blog on and off for the past few years, having always like to sit and indluge my love of makeup and fashion through reading other people opinions and experances with products, 

So here we have it, 25.1.2015 and i am starting a Beauty and Lifestyle blog! 

This shall be my own little corner of the internet were i can talk and ramble about beauty products, fashion and lifestyle till my hearts content with out fear of being divorced by the husband due to my non stop babbling! 

As it stands i have quite a substantial makeup collection, i have not been to cosmotolgy school nor trained in any capacity to do proffesional makeup, but my collection could rivel even the most proffesional makeup artist, and i shall not make a start on my nail polish collection. 

I have decided that this blog will have no rules, i am just going to splurge all my thaughts opinions and feelings into this blog and if even one person enjoys reading it then i shall be happy. 

I am planning to do makeup reviews, comparrisons, hauls, lifestyle posts and also my journy through weight loss and starting a family. 

I hope that you will enjoy reading my ramblings about my life and my little pink and sparkly world 

All my love
