Happy Monday!
And oh what a good Monday it is.
The sun is shining, I’ve just been paid and I’m going to Portugal on Friday.
Life doesn’t get much better than that!
I’m so excited for our holiday. A bunch of us our running away to sit by the pool for a few days and I can’t WAIT to unwind.
Things have been a bit crazy lately and I’m getting to that point where I’m getting tired and rundown and sniffly. Which is no bueno.
I spent pretty much all of yesterday lying on the sofa, catching up on sleep, watching the Lizzie McGuire movie and learning how to use Periscope.
Lazy, lazy, lazy. But necessary. And sooooo good.
Here’s what else has been making me happy this week! :)
1. Cheeeeese. And more specifically: this amazing baked camembert with rosemary and garlic and onions. Holy Cheesus it was beautiful.
2. The Hunger Games. I’ve been re-reading the series and, once again, I can’t believe how awesome these books are.
3. Healthy eating. I planned all my meals last week. I brought in a lunch from home every day, and had a healthy dinner every night except Friday. When I stuffed myself with cheesy fries. But hey. It’s a start. And I feel sooo much better after a week of vegetables!
4. The sun setting over an awful day. I’d had a hideous day, where a ton of little things had gone wrong and added up to one massive headache. As I was telling Gary about my bad day, it started raining. (Of course it did.) And then this happened. And it made me smile. And all was right in the world again.
5. Periscope. You may have seen or heard people talking about Periscope a lot in the last couple of weeks. It’s the newest social media craze to the hit the virtual world, and I’m a tad obsessed with it! I’ve seen it described as live Snapchat, and I think that actually describes it pretty well. I’m still learning the ropes at the moment, but come find me on it: @MissKatyEnglish!
6. I have somewhere to live! It’s a lovely big room in a lovely flat in a lovely location and there’s a skylight and a massive window and white walls and two wardrobes and ohmygodwhyisntitAugustalready?? It’s basically a blogger’s dream bedroom and I can’t wait to decorate it!
7. Vlogging! I really do love the process of filming my day and then putting it together with music to make it fun for you guys to watch. Video editing is something I’ve done since I was about 14 so I love the routine of it :)

8. Free flowers. Debenhams were very kindly giving away free bouquets of flowers at their press event. My bunch of purple gillyflowers (what an ace name!) were beautiful and properly cheered up my Thursday!
9. Holiday shopping. I bought a new culotte jumpsuit. And a very snazzy big hat.
10. Friends. I managed to catch up with a whole bunch of my favourite blogger friends this weekend. These guys not only made me laugh til I cried but also managed to unconsciously inspire me and give me a good kick up the backside on the blogging front. Watch out world!
All in all, it’s been a good week for me!
What have you all been up to? :) xxx
