Being 45 and growing

Image
 As a kid I felt uncomfortable about being a child, because I saw being an adult, it meant that you had more freedom than being a child. Being 45 seemed a long long milestone and now I am 45, gotten to a place where I am okay with my life, and that I have come a long way to feeling good about myself and that I am no longer fearful compared to when I was a kid. I did have a good childhood and feel very lucky with the things I have done through out it, like holiday's in Clacton and Menorca, and seeing shows up London and visits to London Zoo, Chessington Zoo before it became a Theme Park, and it was just the zoo, and getting my ears pierced up London and spent time seeing my grandparents.  There was a time I liked to go out all the time and meet friends for a drink and get plastered. Not so much now, and like having the odd drink, but no over do it. Its alright going out partying but you have to think about getting home safely and I think you become more protective especially be a pa

I like making choices that meet with how I feel each day

Image
The start of this week has been a struggle as not felt too good, and so stayed in but really I needed to be outside and glad I did go out today as I bumped into someone that I hadn't seen for ages. She was someone I met when my son was born, as her son like Henry was premature, and born two days before Henry and so good to see her.  Wimbledon RFC Ground that we go to each weekend and gives my son joy and me too Today I did a list for today of what I needed to get done as started to work on my laptop in the mornings, and has helped plan and break my day up. Everyone has a different schedule, and important jobs to do, and so like to acknowledge those who take their kids to school each day and on time, yet they have to travel a lot to do that, and then go to work and rarely have time for themselves.  When it comes to choices and what to do each day, is on how I feel, and today wanted to hop on the bus, get bits for dinner, grab a coffee and get bus back.  It is the same when it comes

Enjoy your life in 2024

Image
You have to wind down and recharge, because we can get so overwhelmed that we want to hide away, so if are super fatigued yet you exercise, you get the cleaning done, and other errands, then it is time to take a break and recuperate. If something in your life is draining you, then it is time to let it go, by reflecting on how you feel and what you can do to change it, so you don't feel you are being bitten by life, but are happy and nothing gets you down and that means facing changes head on and learning.  I didn't like school, but I still went, when I went to a new dancing class on Saturday's I cried on the first day, because of being so shy. I was introduced to it by my friend Emma who was going  I thought and then stayed dancing for seven years. I didn't know about blog writing until I read a book, and now write blogs on Wordpress and google blogspot and have followers and now have three Youtube channels which are growing and yet took a break in between because for I

Autumn Living adjusting into this season

Image
After having real nice weather, it has turned and is a miserable day today, but I don't mind it as I am ready for Autumn now and thinking about what I am going to need for this season to sort my life out. I am doing an Autumn Reset and finishing projects I am doing, like my new book I am writing, finish sorting out my bedroom in Wimbledon and complete the online courses I have enrolled on.  Check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   and been filming for it too, and these will start to be upload next week. If you read this in the future then check out my main Youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal I am filming today, and I really enjoy filming vlogs and started already my husband has begun using the slow cooker, and I love a casserole or a stew this time of year. And I love a Roast, I did have some during the summer, but I do particularly love them now (Autumn 2023) and my taste buds do change as the weather gets colder with a lovely hot choco

Why I like my own mug

Image
Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break

Take good care of your skin

Image
Noone likes dry skin including myself and if I don't moisturise each day that is exactly what it does and from a kid have looked after my skin and it can really help how you are feeling and so having a good skincare routine each day is important.  My main two are my Nivea creams, and for a while would use baby oil and E45 but these products can be expensive, not unless you have a Savers near you or Poundland. I would like to try different brands, like I have one by Olay, but not really used it.  Getting into the habit can help do wake you up each day and I mean the skin. I do wear make up but not a lot because I like my skin to breath.  I am trying to balance it out though as I would like to put on make up regularly, but can't establish a routine at the moment, as I have been concentrating on getting back into my exercise.  It's not that I don't like the make I have, its just putting on a simple look but I am going to try as of tomorrow as it does help my confidence, an

Finding a decent coffee

Image
I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance.  I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop.  When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate.  They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now and so wor
