Bridal Gown



Visiting a bridal boutique for the first time and top tips 
The search for your wedding dress can be really exciting but also quite scary at times.Its not quite the same as picking out an outfit for a girlie lunch or dinner date, this is your wedding day! so let's get started.  





-Think about your body shape, what style will suit you best and flatter your physic and not draw attention to the bits you don't like! you want to make sure your going to be comfortable

- I looked in bridal magazines for inspiration, i did this over a year before I bought my dress, 

- Don't just head straight to the bridal shop look on the high street, boutiques and online. Keep a realistic budget in mind, can you afford that £1000 dress? Remember it's what you look and feel like not how much it cost.

- Which style is most appropriate for your wedding (beach, winter, summer etc) 

- Think about style of the dress (v neck, sweetheart, lace trains etc) 

- Think about your weight goal (are you happy as your are or do you want to loose weight for the big day) so far I have lost 2 stone in 6months I still haven't reached my goal but I'm almost there. 

- Think about alterations, you may like a dress more if you put your own stamp on it.

- Buy a dress that fits you now! Yes I'm still loosing weight but by body type isn't going to completely change it's a a lot cheaper taking a gown in then making a small dress work.
- Remember to bring your accessories (shoes, head band, tiara, earrings, bracelet, etc... anything that you will be wearing along with dress) 

- Shop at the right time. Weekdays you will find it to be more relaxing and less bridezillas than you might do on a weekend. 

- Who to bring? I actually went in my own on the 1st day so i can think and see which ones fit me better, 2nd day I bought my mum with me, 3rd day my sister come along and that was the day I bought my wedding dress! 

- Trust your instincts. 


I hope you enjoyed the read. 
Expect a few more bridal post the next couple of months for the run up to my wedding day. 
Lots of love

How to Declutter your Home and Keep it that Way

Time to declutter What helps me destress, be productive and keep myself organised is getting rid of all the bits and bobs i keep laying around the house. Yes, that drawer full of crap and all the kids toys that keep mounting up after Christmas and birthdays. I start with 4 bags; charity, selling, friends/family and bin. You don't have to do all of these in one day, pick a room or an area for one afternoon while the baby sleeps and the toddler is settled with snacks and a colouring book and get busy. *Rooms* Bathroom- the cabinets, products you dont use or are out of date, bath toys, etc... Kitchen- food packaging, out of date products, pots and pans you don't use or need to replace Living room- the mounting of paper work hidden in drawers, kids toys, shoes, etc... Dining room- ( same as above) Bedroom- clothes you don't wear, brought but never used, old bed, bedroom drawers and tables, worn out shoes (good quality shoes can be repaired fairly cheaply s

Money saving Hacks | Christmas | 2020 edition |

It's that time of the year...   Remembering all the kids Christmas activities, nursery and school nativity plays, Christmas gift shopping, scheduling friends and family to come over during the holidays, teacher gifts, phonics, cooking the Turkey....   1- Plan Christmas a year to 6 months in advance  I know this sounds nuts but honestly knowing what is happening and who you're visiting makes it a lot easier and less stressful.  2- Buy gifts in the boxing day and January sales. Buy and stock up throughout the year on all the sales. It's amazing how much money you can save by doing this. I manage to save up to £200/£300 by doing this each year.  3- The things you don't think of buying in those sales. Wrapping paper, christmas cards, tape, gift tags, gift bags, Christmas arts and crafts for the kids, stickers, advent calendars (the non-chocolate ones) I brought the Harry Potter charms bracelet advent calendar and frozen 2 advent calendar in Sainsburys

5 creative ways to make extra money

1- sell unwanted items Is it time to do a clear out? Need a little extra money? Sell those trousers you've not worn in 3 months and sell the dress you've only worn twice.  Make sure all items are washed, no marks and no rips etc... these are all things that will help you in the selling process. Take lots of photos of the items, compare on other selling sites to make sure you check out your competitors. Good places to sell are facebook pages, Ebay, depop, Amazon, car boot sale and friends or family  2- creative skills  Are you creative with woodwork, clay, jewellery making, etc... if so put these hobbies into a place online and sell them! Don't forget to charge for materials, hours per day, time to take photos and uploading,etc. 3- teach another language  If you have a second language then good on you, another skill to write down on your cv! Launch a new website of what you can provide, zoom language classes, work sheets, online courses, etc. Make it clear on what you can pr
