Tea and Toast

Early mornings wrapped in your dressing gown, with feet wrapped in fluffy slippers while you relax with a little Tea and Toast are often the best moments of indulgence.

Tea and Toast in The Morning!

Now that Christmas is here I'm really starting to settle into the winter regime. The only thing I've yet to crack are the early mornings! But nobody really likes those so I guess I can be forgiven! :P I'm sat here under a blanket with a mug of cinnamon coffee and some crumpets for lunch (Don't judge me; I'm a student!) doing what I love on my blog and I'm really just content.

Fairy Lights and Mistletoe: A Christmas Story

As promised amigos I have come up with the goods! I have created just for you bad ass readers a Christmas Advent Story Calendar.

Throwback Thursday!

It's Thursday!!! I LOVE looking back on old posts... Here's one I wrote back in March and looking back now, I can see just how much things have changed for me. :) That post is the Soundtrack to My Life and it has definitely changed a bit in the last 8 months for the better!

I'm not saying life is perfect (far from it) but the older I get, the easier I seem to be able to manage the hurdles life asks me to jump over!

So how good is my life right now? Have a look at the best 5 Things in Sassyland right now...........

Fashion Snaps: Fairies in My House

There are fairies in my house,
This I know for sure,
Cause the fairies in my house,
Have a little fairy door.........

Have you ever wanted to add a little magic to your home? Well I've found the perfect way to do it! Fairies in My House is a brilliant idea thought up by a woman who wanted her children to grow up believing in the wonders of fairies, magic and elves!

Essex Bolts

Despite having to jump through hoops for the Uni, some friends and I are setting up our very own running crew. Now most people think "urgh; crew" it should just be a normal club-- we're not in the 'hood'.

Running really is a complete life style. What you learn on a run, you can apply to your life and the hurdles you face, really can be tackled. On a run you have time to think, breathe, take time out and if you want get back to the raw material of yourself. Focus on your breathing, how your body feels, how you feel emotionally and how fluidly you move along your route. Unplug to plug in. No music, no pacers, just run!

Holidays Are Coming!

We've pretty much all seen it on TV (except me, I had to youtube it because I don't own a TV at uni!) and Facebook was a flutter with status updates and video links... That's right; HOLIDAYS ARE COMING!!! The Coca Cola advert is out and in a moment of festive madness I've come up with a sparky idea!
But, before I reveal all I shall tell you what has inspired me for the Magical Season!

 Aren't they amazing?!

Making Things Nice 'n' Easy

So I get LOADS of hits on my blog from all you babes out there looking to either strip your hair or dye it Clairol's Nice 'n Easy Light Ash Blonde (Shade 102) so I thought I'd give you a few pointers that I have learned by my own hair disasters (and there have been many) so you don't make the same mistakes I did! ;)

Spicing up the Winter Months

Check out my Nike leggings:
These will be spicing up my winter for sure!

 Excited for my morning run! =D

What spices up your workouts in the cold months? ;)

Beat the Winter Blues

Waking up at 6am, the sky dark, the frost thick.... Let's crack out the violins now because nobody's going to be doing anything other than feeling sorry for themselves as they haul their asses out of bed for that early morning run. In the bleak depths of winter.

OR, you can haul your sorry ass out of bed and after a sufficient amount of caffeine, you can get your kicks on and enjoy the crispy morning air whilst you pound the pavements!

You Give Me Fever...

...And the fever is catching! :P

Now before you start taping up your windows and boarding up the doors, declaring quarantine, I should probably tell you that this fever is a good one to catch. That's right, I'm talking about the Running Bug!!

How Do You Over Throw An Evil Dictator..?

You cut off her resources.

Regina George would be nothing without her... No I'm totally kidding!

On a serious note though, what do you do when actually there is someone in your life who has simply upset the balance of life? If someone you know starts to take over your life, making it their own (Cady style in Mean Girls) do you 1) do a Regina and publish the Burn Book or 2) do you take the High Road and talk to them about it. Personally, I have taken route 2 in the past. Except it doesn't always work. And we've all been there at least once in our life time: we hope to leave the silly games behind after school but not everyone is so mature...

To Publish or Not to Publish..........?

Fashion Snaps: H&M Striped Orange Sports Bra Review

Okay, so when I was in Spain I got used to running in my bright pink and yellow shorts and started to fall in love with vibrant, quirky patterned workout gear. Upon a late night shopping trip (including FroYo, Jewellery and muchos laughter) I stumbled across this bad boy and decided to buy it!

Fashion Snaps: Comfy Corner

Ever woken up and felt that ultimately, everything in your wardrobe is made from cardboard? Except of course those ever so inviting joggers and slouchy top, that want to envelope you into a hug of warmth and comfort, that tell you; they cannot go anywhere other than the sofa and to the kitchen (for tea and cake of course!) and they soothe your need to sit and watch hours of mindless Jeremy Kyle and not to worry about that mounting pile of ironing over in the corner…

Fashion Snaps: Just Another Bit of Hippie Chic

So lately I have been developing my style from Rocker in the winter, to Hippie/Surfer in the summer!

I adore wearing long floaty maxi skirts right now and teaming them with a simple vest and my denim acid wash waist jacket. Glitz it up with some beads and sparkly bits and bobs and there you have it… Right?

Starting the Festivities Early

Wow, training is hard! But it's good to get back into it-- 2 weeks off is a long-ass time!

So festivities is a bit strong... It's my 21st birthday this December and people keep asking me what I want as gifts, other than my student loan! Well I've been casually playing around on Nike iD with some new kicks and a running top!
