So I came across a post in the blogging hemisphere of the interwebz last night that I found pretty interesting and thought I would steal the idea and create my own. It was a list of 100 little things to do in the next year of your life to make you happy. Now I have a busy year ahead of me so this will be 100 things to do in life...

Eat, Pray, Love
It has been a few years since I first watched it but this film has resonated with me on a level that not many other films have managed to achieve.
I may hate it here in France but I cannot deny that it has been an adventure of sorts and adventure is something the gypsy in my soul craves....

The Older I Get....
..... The more I know my own mind. Which means I have a lower tolerance for crap. And let me tell you friends, there has been an all out crap slinging contest going on in the world lately! Whether it's the age old females vs males rubbish, or the poorly educated fools hashing it out in the streets baring all in their Primark leggings and flip flops, it seems that 2014 is the year to make an absolute tit of yourself!
Keep it classy ladies! |

Finding the Niche
Bloggers. There are millions of us, writing and giving our opinions on whatever we feel people should know about. Success as a blogger is also something that not many of us really reach when comparing the statistics. There are thousands of bloggers across the world who think that what we do is easy: we get sent free stuff, we write about it and we get paid. Right?
Taking time to nerd up my blogging skills! |

Donate or Else!!
If there's one thing I can't stand (and we all know there are many!) it's the incessant harassment by the clipboard crews. You know who I'm talking about: they lurk outside stores, in town centers and street corners waiting to pounce like you're live meat ready to be taken out.
Yes I am having a Mean Girls moment picturing the jungle madness of this scenario...

My Mad Fat Diary
Dear Diary,
There are two things you should know about me:
- I'm fat.
- I'm mad.
There are so many reasons why I love this show. It's funny, it's set in the 90s and it's honest. This is why I love it...

The Life of an Obsessive Compulsive
Ask my Parents and they will tell you I am not the most tidy of people. In fact when I was younger, there was a floordrobe instead of a carpet. When I come back from uni, my stuff literally overtakes the entire house and things begin to look messy and cramped. Ask me and I will tell you I hate it.

Creative Cooking with Emily Blacker
Food. It's something pretty much every person loves to indulge in. I personally adore every food I've ever tried, maybe not right away but they do say the palette has to try something 23 times before it can form a true opinion. A bit like a song that grows on you, flavours are the same. Cooking however is not for everyone but if you fancy giving it a go then I have the perfect person to give you a hand.

Life Lessons: A Letter to Myself at 15
I've been seeing a lot of these letters lately and fancied hijacking the bandwagon to write my own! I have changed a lot since I was 15 and although I'm some sage old woman with knowledge beyond my lifetime, I do consider pretty well experienced for my age. So here goes...
Back when I was 15: dodgy eye-liner and all! |
Death of the Safe Deposit Box
When I was a kid I used to play at being a princess and being rich. I'd have jewels and wads of money and tiaras galore; precious things I would stash away at the bottom of my dress up box, next to the stethoscope and ballet shoes. As I got into my teens, I got a job and my money was stashed away in this handy thing called a bank account. The older I get the more I worry about where to keep my valuables, from important documents to family heirlooms (of which I actually own none.. yet) and that's when I remembered: the big banks offer these little boxes for rent that are just like mini vaults!! Not that I need one but I got to looking at which banks offer the best deal on the wonder known as a safe deposit box, only to find that actually, no one really offers this service any more.
WHERE THE HELL AM I MEANT TO STASH MY TIARAS????
