Winter Self Care

Image
I don't know about you but for me January is a depressing month. The festive period is over. Everything has somewhat gone back to normal and the weather is cold and miserable. Especially if you live in the UK. Plus January just seems to go on forever and like it will never end. You definitely get the winter blues this month which is why I thought I'd share some things I do to give myself a little self care but also make me feel better when I have those moments of winter blues. Let's get started. Make a playlist of all your favourite songs I don't know about you but to me music really does impact my mood. Sometimes I hear my favourite songs and I can't help but sing along or just have a bop to them. Create a playlist of all your favourite songs so that if you're feeling low, just have a listen and soon you'll make yourself feel better through the power of music. Get up and go somewhere Whether that's down the street, going to get a coffee, meeting up with...

Making Changes In 2025

Image
New Year! New Me! It's that time of year where we sit down and set some goals for ourselves for 2025. Thinking this year will be different. This year we will actually achieve our goals. We spend a week or two doing just that where we work on our goals before giving up by the time February rolls around mainly because we lose the motivation to do what we really want to do or procrastinate it onto next month which is never a good idea because if you procrastinate it then most likely it won't get done.  That's why I thought I'd make this post as I wanted to make some changes to my life and apply them in 2025. I thought these can help me to get more motivated and help me live my best life. Without further ado these are the changes I'm going to make in 2025. Making a list of everything you want to achieve Writing down everything you want to do can be motivational and get you started on the right track. For starters you’ll have ideas on what you plan to do throughout the y...

January

Happy New Year! I can't quite believe it's 2025. It feels like yesterday it was 2024. (Pause for laughter) Apologies had to be done. Hehe. January is here which means it's time to set new goals, plan the year and then give up by the time February comes around. I don't really know if I have any New Year's Resolutions planned as of yet. There's always the usual ones of getting healthy, finding love etc. Yet I think the only thing I really want to do in 2025 is be happy and make lots of memories.  I'm turning twenty nine in October which means in October 2026, I'll be thirty which is quite scary as I feel like my life is all over the place at the moment and I feel like I'm falling behind sometimes. I think this year that I really need to start knuckling down. Start completing the rest of my bucket list before I turn thirty and make some real changes to my life. There are a few things I need to get done this year but I'm not going to reveal all just ...

December Favourites

Well, here we are. The last post of 2024. I can't quite believe we're at the end of the year. It just flew by this year and I feel like so much has happened this year. As is an end of the month tradition on this blog, here are all the things I've been loving this month. Let's get started. Blood Brothers I watched this musical in the Palace Theatre in Manchester at the end of last month and I honestly fell in love with it. I downloaded the album and I've been listening to it on repeat. It's such a unique story, how two brothers are separated at birth and go on to live two separate lives in different social classes but yet they don't let that stop their friendship. It has the innocence of childhood to growing into your teenage years to facing the reality of adulthood. It's such a sweet but also heartbreaking story. I even went and bought the book to read so I can relive the story again as well as watching clips on YouTube. I'm so fascinated by it that ...

Thank You

I just wanted to take this moment to say thank you so much to anyone that has taken the time to view and read my blog this year. It means so much to me and I can't quite believe how far this blog has come.  Last May was rather special for me because it was the tenth anniversary of this blog. A milestone that I didn't think I'd ever reach. Especially through all the Blogger's blocks and gaps in Blogging I've done in the past. I was seventeen years old studying my A Levels when I first started the blog.  If you told seventeen year old me that this year I would have had 55K page views. I wouldn't have believed you. Now I know to some, that's not exactly a viral thing. To me though, that truly means a lot to me because I can count the number of friends I have on one hand, yet my blog was viewed all over the world, 55K times in 2024. That is just incredible. Especially with the fact my blog has had over 155K page views over the past ten years and to have 55K of t...

Favourite Reads Of 2024

Image
In 2024, according to my good reads. I've read sixty books which is kind of crazy. I may have cheated a little and listened to audiobooks which in my opinion counts as reading the book because you're still consuming the story just in audio form rather than written form. I also read the entire A Series of Unfortunate Events and also all the Horrid Henry books which I mainly did for nostalgia purposes. That's why I read so many books this year but I thought I'd break down what my favourite reads of 2024 were. Let's get started. A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder Series By Holly Jackson So I got around to finishing the final two books and the novella which I really enjoyed. Especially the final book. No spoilers but there’s a part two of the book that makes it all worth it. I couldn’t put it down. I really enjoyed Holly Jackson’s work this year but particularly the last two books of the series were incredible. I still need to get around to watching the new tv series of the ...

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to make this post to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I hope you're having a lovely day whether you're spending it with family, friends, colleagues or even on your own. I hope it's a happy day for you. I'm currently spending my day with family, opening presents and having a turkey Christmas dinner.  This year has been an incredible year and I can't quite believe it's Christmas day. Anyway, that's all I have to say as I want to keep this post short so you can get back to your day.  Thank you so much for taking the time to view my blog this year. I really do appreciate all of you and wish you a very Merry Christmas.  See you again soon. Megan x *This is not a sponsored post* For business enquiries or just a chat email: megantimeblog@gmail.com
