Hi honeys, it is about time we sit down and have a chat as its been a bit of a weird week. You may have noticed that I missed last weeks upload and as much as I want to use the excuse of being busy, that isn’t the entire truth. If you are a blogger then you will understand the struggle of writer’s block and how tough it can sometimes be uploading new content consistently. So instead of posting something shitty I decided to take last week off, so bear with me whilst I catch up with everyone’s blog posts! Go grab a coffee and let’s have a catch-up.
If We Were Having Coffee… We would be in my newest fav hangout, Cafe Walcot. It is a hidden gem of Bath and has the tastiest food on offer as well as the best freaking iced latte ever. I recently went here with Phoebe and had the Granola Bowl and it did not disappoint!
If We Were Having Coffee… You would be begging me to stop rambling about how happy I am in my new relationship. I always find myself bringing Harry up in conversation no matter who I am talking to, so I publicly apologise to my work bff Carole for having to listen to me ramble for 40 hours a week. But that man is so freaking romantic, as you know two weeks ago he bought me an adorable bunch of flowers, well this week he bloody surprised me with another bunch?! What have I done to deserve him?
If We Were Having Coffee… We would be planning Christmas, and yes I know it is only September but now we are getting into the colder months it has made me feel so festive. I can’t wait for all of the Christmas markets, tacky decorations, hot chocs and not to mention vlogmas! (I am guilty of already re-watching zoella’s 2018 vlogmas). Each year me and Chan go on a lil Christmas girls holiday and last year we went to Brighton and this year we are thinking of going to Bournemouth – think of the Instagrams!
If We Were Having Coffee… We would definitely have a heart to heart. I have really been struggling lately to balance the chaos of adult life, trying to see all of my friends and family whilst working and blogging is becoming a bit of a struggle. I know on my blog I always preach about saying no more and do what makes you happy, but lately, I have been a bit of a hypocrite and just tried to please others and its starting to take its toll. Please tell me I am not the only one who stresses over things like this?
If We Were Having Coffee… We would talk about collabs! Last June I put so much effort into doing frequent collabs on my blog and I really want to do it again. It was so much fun working with other fab content creators so if you are interested, let me know in the comments.
If We Were Having Coffee… I would defo ask for healthy lifestyle tips. If you have read my Ways I’m Bettering Myself post, you will know that for the past month or two I have been trying to make better decisions and improve my health. I am drinking significantly less and eating a bit healthier, but I have serious gym phobia. It’s an issue. I have wanted to join a gym for so long now but I am so scared of being judged!! Hopefully, I will pluck up the courage.
If We Were Having Coffee… We would swoon over cute animals. This week a new girl has joined us in the office and shes got a dog, which means we now have a freaking office dog!! It excited me a little too much and has made me so so tempted to buy a puppy.
I hope you all enjoyed, chatty posts like this are one of my absolute favs to read and write. Thank you for all your support and patience x
Until next time,
Like my posts? Buy me a coffee!

Don’t be intimidated to join a gym, everyone has a different reason and goal for being there – maybe join with a friend or your partner?! Puppies are super cute xx

When my boyfriend and I first started dating, he was all I could talk about! I was spending a large proportion of my time with him so I guess that made sense since he pretty much was my life alongside work. Don’t ever feel guilty for talking about your boyfriend so much, everyone has been at that point in a relationship! And it just shows you are happy which is all anyone will want who cares about you.
I struggle so much with balancing everything in my life. I have started saying yes only to events and meetings on Saturdays and having Sundays to chill and clean and get ready for the week ahead. That way I don’t feel bad turning people turn because I can just say, oh it’s just a rule I have, it is not personal. And obviously you can break it for friends you actually do want to see!
I am always up for a collaboration with you – just message me and we can sort one out!
In terms of being healthier, I would recommend educating yourself about nutrition and listening to your body when it tells you what it is craving. With regards to the gym, maybe look into all-girl gyms (I personally feel more comfortable in an all-girls gym) or classes you can do to stay fit. And try to find a friend (or your boyfriend) to take with you because they will make you feel less awkward but also keep you accountable. I find it really helpful having a plan of what I want to do at the gym before I get there so I don’t dawdle, I know exactly what I am doing. Book a one-off session with a personal trainer to get you started if you are not sure or watch YouTube videos as there are so many fitness ones out there. xx

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment honey, you’re always so supportive. It’s made my day!! Aww that’s so sweet, it’s nearly impossible to not talk about Harry on a daily basis to at least 5 people hahaha. It is so tough trying to balance everything, no matter how many times I try to plan my week i always end up having no time for myself! Oh yeah a collab sounds amazing, I’ll defo get in touch. Thank you so so much once again for leaving such a kind and thoughtful comment honey! Xxxx

Love this! I definitely find it soo hard to balance everything in my life, and sometimes I just need to tell myself off and to stop!
I have never done a collab before so I would not know where to start haha! I am still trying to figure out how to re-do my site 😂.
Also I think the first step is always hardest when going to the gym, but once you just force yourself and do it it’s not actually that bad. Everyone is going there for the same reason to do a workout 😊 but I definitely think taking someone with you helps! As for going on runs, starting off in quiet places is always a great start 😊 love this post as always, and sometimes taking a break from posting helps creatively xxx

I’m so happy to hear how happy you are with Harry! I’m always talking about my boyfriend, but I think that’s when you know you’ve got a good one when you can’t shut up about them!!
If you need any advice for the gym give me a message because I’ve been going for 5 years now. It’s intimidating at first but if you go with a friend it makes it a lot easier!! Also a lot of gyms offer classes so thats a great way to get into it if you’re not confident or know what to do. And I’d be up for a collab at some point if you’re keen! (I’m preparing my return to the blogging scene soon)
Always love reading your posts and I love all the pics!!🤩 xx
