Welcoming 2018 with open arms!

Hey guys,

First of all. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!

I am actually writing this at 9am. I know crazy right? Normally I do my blog at the end of the day but because I'll be at work and then OUT, I thought I should be responsible ;).

I'm not going to lie, I really wish I didn't have to work tonight. But It's better to be reliable I suppose. Plus it's pay day so more money for tonight haha. I always have mixed feelings at midnight because obviously it's the new year but the end of my birthday. Everybody cheers at the end of my birthday and it kind of hurts... It's nice everyone is celebrating though so I guess, silver linings.

Anyways, I've decided not to have any new years resolutions this year. They create so much pressure for no reason what so ever. So I am going to set goals, just like I would at the start of a productive day.

Goal 1, say yes to more. Say yes to new adventures and experiences. Don't be as afraid of everything.

Goal 2, practice more makeup. I have seen such an improvement in this year alone so I hope it continues.

Goal 3, drink a little less coke. I don't want it to ruin all of my insides so I am going to try and drink more juice and such.

I think that's all I'm going to do this year. There's always pressure to diet and 'make up' for all the food you've eaten over the holidays. But that doesn't mean torture yourself, just please remember that.

Let's take this new year by storm.
It's going to be a good one, i can feel it.

Adios amigos!xo

Apology to my body.

Hey guys,

First of all, IT'S CHRISTMASSS! Well, Christmas Eve when you're probably reading this. Still very exciting. I am a lot more excited this year, I think because I can legally drink at this festive time of year. I may still be a little hungover from last night but bring on tonight!

Anyways, with the new year creeping round the corner (& my birthday) I thought this post would be a good one. I think I saw 'bodyposipanda' post something or re-post something like this on her Instagram. So here we go.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that when I used to look in the mirror all I saw were flaws - and lots of them. I'm sorry that I used to cry and hurt you when I saw you in the mirror.

I'm sorry that when I saw the stretch marks I was ashamed and wished they weren't there.

I'm sorry to my thighs. I always thought you were too big and looked worse when I sat down. I'm sorry that I saw cellulite as a flaw when you are beautiful. I'm sorry that I didn't show you any respect for carrying me through life.

I'm sorry to my breasts. I wished you were always perky and not droopy. I'm sorry that I wanted to make you smaller.

I'm sorry to my belly, for always wishing you'd disappear. I'm sorry for hiding you in embarrassment instead of embracing you. I'm sorry for not letting you breathe sometimes because I tried my very hardest to make you seem smaller to people.

I'm sorry to my back rolls. I always wore loose shirts to hide you. You're cute as hell and I love you.

I'm sorry arms, that I hid you for many years because I thought you were disgusting. I'm sorry I didn't let you breathe as much as you should have in the past summers.

I'm sorry that you haven't been given as much appreciation as you deserve. You are beautiful. You are worthy. And you definitely shouldn't hide from anyone - including yourself. I'm sorry that only now am I realising how great you actually are, you have been all along.

Lots of love Katie xo



This is a very open post for me to do and I hope it helps. All bodies are beautiful and worthy - big, small and everything in between.
I am happy to leave all these negative thoughts in 2017. There will be times when I am hormonal and feel gross but I am definitely going to treat my body with more respect.

Merry Christmas.
Adios amigos!xo

CHRISTMAS!

Hey guys,

So its a week until Christmas Eve. (Side note: this means its two weeks until my birthday!!) I can't believe how quick it seems to have come this year. Seems like only yesterday Britain was brought to a halt thanks to the heatwave we had. Baffling.

Anyways, this year we have had a real tree. We had one a couple of years ago and I loved it. My mum and I had to obviously go to a garden center and she let me choose the tree. That was probably a mistake in her eyes... Its now part of the family. It is honestly as wide as half the room and reaches the ceiling. And I'm not even exaggerating. It looked a lot smaller when i pointed it out.But I love it.

Normally me and my dad decorate the tree while mum watches but this year my dad only put the lights on so it was left to me. Not that I mind but I would've preferred to chose a colour scheme and all that. My mum just insisted on silver. So unfortunately the tree isn't that colourful.

Photo's will follow, and I very am happy with it. It definitely feels like Christmas now.


 


I am so excited this year. I don't know what it is but I feel like all the bad things are taking a break from me for a while so I'm going to make the most of it. This will be the first year I celebrate Christmas/ my birthday (I haven't decided which yet) in town. Its going to be very weird because I'm not one for change. Knowing me I'll get overwhelmed and end up crying in the taxi on the way home. Lets hope not though!


I hope you all have a great week and enjoy yourselves.
Adios amigos!xo

What I'm listening to & I'm a celebrity thoughts - spoilers.

Hey guys,

I'm a celeb has now finished for the year!:( I'm gutted. It's by far one of the best shows and I look forward to it every year. I'm extremely happy Toff won. I wish Iain would've been second and that Jennie was third. I really think they deserved it. Toff was such a badass in there completing the trials and then being the most positive of all. I think she was everyone favorite.

But poor Iain. I'm happy he got down to the final but still. I think he had such a journey in there and really showed who he was. I honestly hope that he sees all the love and support he has received online.

I have a lot more thoughts on what has happened in the jungle however I want to keep this short and sweet so I can go to sleep sooner. So here's a list of the songs that have taken my fancy.

Dodie - Absolutely Smitten
Dodie - In the Middle
Dodie - Would You Be So Kind
Ed Sheeran - Perfect
Noah Cyrus - Stay Together
Taylor Swift - Gorgeous
Selena Gomez Ft. Marshmellow - Wolves
Sia - Ho Ho Ho
Leona Lewis - One More Sleep
Charlie Puth - How Long
Jason Derulo, French Montana - Tip Toe
Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still
Miley Cyrus - Inspired
Michael Malarkey - Mongrels
Ariana Grande - Santa Tell Me
Ariana Grande - Santa Baby
Ariana Grande - Winter Things
Niall Horan - Too Much To Ask
Louis Tomlinson - Miss You
Rita Ora - Anywhere


That's all I an find on my Spotify playlist for now. They'll be more soon I'm sure. But I hope you enjoyed this post, if not I hope you found something new to listen to. Have a great week!

Adios amigos!xo

Another one of those Catch Up's.

Hey guys,

Happy December!!

You know what that means...Advent calender's have been opened, Blogmas will have started (for some, wink wink) chaos is filling shops and Michael BublĂ© will have been played.

IT'S CHRISTMAS! - I may be a little excited this year.

I'll keep the Christmas talk to a minimal as that'll all come soon enough haha.

Anyway, what have I been up to? Good question.

My new mattress came yesterday and I managed to pull it upstairs, unwrap it and get it onto my bed - ALL BY MYSELF. I'm sill proud of myself because its a thick mattress! I was worried that I chose the wrong one but I definitely had nothing to worry about. I've barely left my bed all day, not even sleeping, just chilling on it. I am very impressed.

I also treated myself to some new lipsticks (obviously because I'm obsessed) so I shall include photos and the names below.

Jeffree Star: Diamond

Jeffree Star: Redrum


Last week my post was a little none existent. That's just because of an intense pain I had constantly over the weekend. The doctors found some sort of issue with my liver, nothing drastic just maybe a virus. I seem to be okay again but I am due for more blood tests to double check. So posts will be back to normal again. I hate missing a week so I had to post something but I needed the break. 

I will leave it at that, There's only so much boring content I have at the minute I'm afraid. But next weeks post will be the last 'normal' post before the ones running up to Christmas. I don't quite have a name for it yet but you'll find that out if you return:)
