Wherever you currently live, when you first stepped into your home you probably saw a blank canvas. After all, it would have been in the seller’s interest for you to perceive how you could make their home… well, yours.
Since, you’ve probably created a picture of your personality without even realising – I know we have in our home. Check out our dining room makeover, bedroom tour and kitchen before and after! Here are examples of how and how you could amp it up further…
Life has been all over the place recently with getting back into the swing of work after holiday, trying to get my head around planning a wedding and both working really hard, we needed a day date. Saturday evenings are either chilling together watching telly or seeing friends for both of us so finding time to really have a proper date is super important with us.
You guys will know I’m trying super hard to shop less, be sustainable with my style, make eco-friendly changes around the home and generally try and be kinder to the environment and I think I’m doing my bit.
I still have so many things that I want to change and adapt too and the next thing on my list is eco-friendly cleaning products. The guys over at Pattersons have sponsored this post and provided a really cool list of three eco friendly cleaning hacks below. I mean, it’s not spring but there’s not a seasonal limit on changing up your eco friendly habits, right?
Burra Khana is located in the Hockley area of Notts and is where Red Dog Saloon still is. The owners have split the building in two, which I understand as the space is really big but the two restaurants are essentially in the same place which makes the whole thing a bit weird to be honest. There were people behind us eating tacos and BBQ food whilst we were eating a curry and at the end of the meal we were offered the dessert menu ‘from the other place’ which was super strange.
What can I say about Dubrovnik? It is gorgeous and it will always have a place in my heart of course, because we got engaged there but overall it is such a romantic city and there’s so much to see and do. Here are my top five things to do in Dubrovnik, Croatia. We stayed for a week because it was part summer holiday and part city break for us as we hadn’t had a ‘holiday’ for about 18 months due to buying our house but I would say that you could easily see everything Dubrovnik has to offer in around 3 to 4 days if you packed it all in!
It’s definitely going to be true to say that we ate well during our trip to Dubrovnik. I wanted to share some of our favourites with you from easy lunches to incredible sushi and some harbour-side restaurants. There’s places to eat and drink across the whole price range but overall, Dubrovnik is quite an expensive city to eat out in. We had plenty of cost-effective lunches and snacks as we loved the evening vibe and wanted to spend more on our meals out for most of the evenings. Let’s get into it!
One of the hardest things about work is often being organised. It’s a skill that almost everyone claims that they have on their resume when they’re applying for jobs, but once you’re sitting behind that desk and trying to figure out everything that you have to do that day, those organisational skills that you cultivated in high school by colour coding your notes and adding post-its to the most important pages of your text books feel like a million miles away. If that sounds familiar, here are some tips on the best ways you can get it together at work.
Another money diary for you all and this on spans payday and Bank Holiday weekend! Let’s get straight into it. If you want more Money Diary fun and to read my others, click here.
Wednesday.
It’s the day before payday and our tyre decides to have a slow puncture so £7.50 for my share of the fix. At least it’s not a whole new tyre so it’s definitely not the end of the world.
If you love sweet potato fries and air hockey, have I got the venue for you.
We checked out Penny Lane when it first opened and loved the games and cocktails but I haven’t had a chance to try the food properly and finally we did. A tasty little lunch was just what the doctor ordered for a chilled weekend (and it was the day before we got on the holiday prep so we went all out!). I’ll get straight into the delicious food because I was really impressed and would definitely go for lunch again. I’ve actually already booked our work Christmas party for here for December because I loved the games and cocktails so much I took a chance on the food and I’m glad that I have now.
Improving our homes, lives and bank balances is definitely up there for most of our lists, am I right? I know that those things are up there for me definitely and if you know me, you’ll know that I’m always trying to change things in my house to be more eco-friendly and money saving. I popped up a post a few months ago about five easy eco-friendly things that you can introduce to your life at home that can help you save money and improve things for the environment. Today I have a sponsored post with loads of awesome information from the UK’s leading LED lighting specialists, INUI®.
