'Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree'

Hello DECEMBER,
Had such the chrismassy week this week! Think I have all my presents ready to go and wrapped up all pretty. I put up the tree at the weekend and took some pics to share with you guys because it’s just so pretty. My mum has been collecting decorations for years and I love the snowy icy theme. Also I love putting up the tree with my mum and we had a moment when we thought about how this probably will be my last Christmas living at home. Both exciting and a little sad. Think ill have to pop back next year and still set up the tree with her though. The boys in my house are no longer interested but I love getting it all just right… bit of a neat freak I knooooow. Loved listening to Christmas songs and singing along while we decorated. Really makes me start to feel Christmassy with the lights all warm in the evening.

Started the chocolate calendar this week too!.. and went to maccas and tried their cookie latte! All the yummy things!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This weekend I have really started to get back into my crafting. I have always really enjoyed anything artsy since I was a small child and I thought I would try my hand at water colour painting and I have really started to enjoy it. Next week I will probably post about my hand made Christmas cards that I have made for my family. Also I have started to do a Christmas (shopping ye olde scene) puzzle which is 1000 pieces and frankly my lack of patience has already made me had enough of it… must keep going... will update on progress.
This is my last week of the autumn term at uni so it’s the last push to get all those assignments in and then its FINALLY the Christmas holidays!!!!!!!!!! I have so many exciting things coming up like a visit down to see my boyfriend, a visit from a friend in Australia and going to Bristol for a night away which I am really looking forward too.
Have you all set up your trees yet and whats you favourite theme? Icy? Red and gold? Anything fun planned for the lead up to Christmas?
See you next week with Christmassy crafts!

Lozzy :)

10 things 2020 has taught me so far

This year has been strange for all of us. Some people enjoyed the time off, some hated the lack of structure. Some loved spending quality time with loves ones, others felt claustrophobic. Some of us felt all of this and more. But you know what, I learnt a lot. I learnt a lot about myself that I didn't already know and i'm sure many of you can resonate with some of these points.  I found out that keeping busy was my way of blocking things out. When everything stopped and I could no longer keep filling all my time with 'stuff' I found that I felt quite uncomfortable. Unaddressed demons kept popping up for the first few weeks. This time made me stop and address things I had otherwise would have kept putting off further. It felt healing to let things go and focus on me. Work does not define me. Your job is a part of you, yes, but it is not everything about you. You should not tangle your self worth up in anything that is outside of you.  I found out what I really enjoy. ...

International womens day: Ensuring future equality in the face of Brexit #FaceHerFuture

Womens' equality has come a long way but it has further to go. The #MeToo movement over the past year has again highlighted gender inequality when it comes to sexual harassment in the workplace and emphasises a need for the strengthening of laws surrounding these issues. Currently only 1/3 of MPs are women and many STEM subjects see similar inequality. We have now entered our second year of gender pay gap reporting and unfortunately the numbers do not equate. In 2017 a report by the world economic forum predicted that it would take another 100years until the gender gap closes. Inequality is seen by many as a problem in the past. But as recently at 1991 rape in marriage was first considered a crime. Fawcett Society is the leading charity campaigning for womens rights in great Britain. They state: 'Our vision is a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential creating a stronger, happier, better future ...

What a week....

Hello again everyone! How have all of your weeks gone? Mines been absolutely, unbelievably shocking… Its been one of those weeks where you wonder if the world is trying to spite you. 12 hours of typing up data was enough to start off my week in a bit of a huff, followed by a cancelled lecture… I was not a happy bunny. After a not so great presentation, a stressful driving lesson, software not working and probably another 15 things iv tried to forget, I am back here again a week later. Everything has been more difficult than it should have been and its left me feeling all together quite annoyed. So sitting down to write this is making me feel a little better… even though the clocks have changed and its now dark at 5…..why. Enough of that rant. Good things have happened! I went out on Friday night with my friends and stayed over the night. It was really good to let my hair down and relax for a day after such a hard week. Also I carved this loooovely pumpkin. Look how cu...
