A Day in the Life.

I've been away for a couple of days ...Back now! 

Today was weigh day. I must say I wasn't looking forward to it. I was rather useless this week. I've done hardly anything in the way of exercise and haven't eaten well. I blame the fact that it was Easter - doesn't help that when I'm put in the way of temptation my strength and resolve usually crumbles, and as I am addicted to chocolate I found it very hard .... Safe to say the scales reflected my weakness, I've gained weight, 1lb and 3oz to be exact. I know in the grand scheme of things its not so bad, but I've been doing so well. However, I shan't let this throw or deter me. I plan to work harder, and its made me more determined. So now I've got a book in which I am writing all the food I've eaten and its calorie content. 

Anyways enough of my calorie counting and weight loss business. Whats been going on this week? Well, fiance and I got our first taste of sleeping apart. I went to help look after my nephew while his mum was in the hospital. So Thursday and Friday was spent taking care of a 4 year old boy. Exhausting! Ah well, guess its all good practice. 

I also managed to get our wedding invitations made. Me and my mom spent an hour and a half in Hobbycraft looking for supplies. In that time, my mum made a million and one suggestions. All of which took me away from my original plan and then ended up going back to my original plan! Now we have 50 of these little beauties. I am so proud of myself! 3 hours of solid work, and this is what I came up with. What do we think? I actually took the inspiration from another blog I found. 

Saturday, fiance and I went to go and get him measured for a suit, for a friends wedding (as he is to be best man). Once that was done I got to spend the day walking around with the mothers of the bride and groom. Oh the joy! At least by the time I was done my friend was out of hospital. A brief visit with her, and then home I went. To spend some time with my lovely fiance. 

All of which has brought me to today. A lovely relaxed Sunday. We're having a lovely steak and veg pie (home made) for tea. I've done a 30 minute kick-boxing boot camp workout, in the bedroom - a nice 362 calories burned off! I've updated my lovely blog (hurrah). Now to kick back and relax with the radio and a good book. I wonder how everyone else has spent their weekend.

A year together.

Well, one year ago today my fiance asked me to be his girlfriend. We realised that we were in love and wanted to be together. So today we've had a good day. Went to visit some friends and James went to look at suits for their wedding.

New nail colour

And again because I love it! 

I have the picture of the nail colour I promised.








Below is a picture of what I intend to be my wedding bouquet. I think this is absolutely adorable! It comes in Ivory as well (which is good as that's what colour my dress is), as well as matching pins/buttonholes. This is £18 and as I mentioned I think its beautiful!

What will be my bouquet.

Back to my style posts ...

My style has really changed lately. 

I put on a lot of weight since last spring and it was really difficult for me to shift. I have been doing really well this last couple of months. In the middle of February I made the choice to lose weight. Since then I have lost 11lbs (over) and an inch from my waist. I've recently invested in some Reebok Easytone trainers. Between them and the work out DVD I've been doing, I'm doing well. 

As I mentioned my style has changed. I didn't really have to wear smart clothes in my last job, so I got stuck in a rut of wearing jeans and t-shirts. Skirts now and then. I started wearing dresses on occasion as well. 

Being as that its spring, I've found myself fawning over the spring trends. Pretty floral dresses, pastel colours etc. I bought a lovely dress the other day (pictures to follow), in a very pale pink covered in butterflies! I adore butterflies this season. While other girls are wearing birds, I'm in butterflies! 

Today, I've been in rock and republic leggings in a lovely pale blue, an organic cream batwing style tee and cream ballet flats. I've found myself a lovely sky blue nail polish - Smarty Pants from Asda. £1.75 from their "Vintage" collection ( http://groceries.asda.com/asda-estore/catalog/sectionpagecontainer.jsp?departmentid=1214921923791). Absolutely wonderful and I'm absolutely in love with it. Again pictures to follow.

For now though, I'm off to bed. I shall be back soon my lovelies xx

A year later ....

Its been over a year since I last updated my blog, and let me tell you a lot has happened!

Where to begin? Well lets start at the beginning (as its a very good place to start). Looking back on my last posts, I shall try to pick up from there. I did a large essay like blog of my ex boyfriend. After that entry, we did break up. It was, sad? I was disappointed, but by the time the end came I wasn't sad. It just felt like the natural progression of my life, it was the right time for us. I'd cried too many times over him and it just wasn't working for us anymore. I mean who wants to apologise to someone over ever tiny little thing? Not me I can tell you.

At the end of March, I was out of work. Sad and unfortunate yes, but again, nothing to get too upset over as I was only there on a temporary basis filling in for maternity cover. So I received my last pay cheque and that was that. My mum got me so short term work helping in her office for a couple of weeks which helped put some money in my pocket. Thank you Mom! She really is! The day after I was put out of work, I went out. Helping at a charity event that was charging an entry fee. I was assisting by taking the money on the door and drawing a "V" on each persons hand.

Whilst there, I met a man. A tall, dark, handsome man. He walked in, I took his money, and because I thought he looked a little lost I talked to him. I found out he was there meeting one of his friends, and another friend had ditched him. The friend didn't turn up until much later, so in the time it took her, we talked. We laughed and we drank, I flirted .... A lot!! When it was time for my mum, Gemma and myself to leave I was devastated! I wanted to stay and entice the sexy bloke as much as I possibly could, ensnare him with my womanly wiles. Alas it was not to be. Instead, we swapped numbers. On the way home, and over the next couple of days we texted each other. Me almost incessantly. Cutting a long story short .... He agreed to come out with us (a few friends and myself). He came to meet us at the pub and we spent the night drinking and having a laugh. Over the course of the next few weeks we spent a lot of time together. We started officially dating on the April 11th 2011. We were in love! His name, is James.

A few months later we decided we wanted to move in together. We got a flat, I had a job as did James. Things were perfect. Alright, so since July of last year we've had a lot of stuff to deal with. But we got through it and we're better people for it now. Towards the end of the year we got engaged, and we get married in November of this year. I cant wait. The dress is bought and a lot of things are finalised already. I'm losing some weight which is fantastic, I should look fabulous in summer.

So? I hear you ask! Whats going on now?! Well now, we're having problems with things working. The digibox is buggered as the coax ariel got all rusted because water leaked in it. James' xbox doesn't work, the internal fans keep overheating and cutting it off. Not much of this is ideal in the slightest, but we persevere. We're looking for a new flat, trying to raise money to help pay for the wedding and generally enjoying our lives.

I'm happy and in love. My fiance is a wonderful man who I adore and who completely and utterly loves me back. Come November my name will be Mrs Krynn Crysania Sian Newton and I will be married to the love of my life. Seems Love didn't give up on me, it was just trying to tell me to get out of what was making me unhappy.
Funny how that happens aint it?

I have no title for my blog today! Not good.

I cant understand why so many people keep telling me I'm beautiful. I'm not .... Although I am losing weight, yay. I'm on my way to being that size smaller for Download Festival in June. Fingers crossed I will be successful in getting to a nice size with beautiful curves and a pretty smile. I might be beautiful one day just I'm not yet.

I have been sticking to clothes that are comfortable of late. Corsets for rehearsal and gorgeous shoes! Beautiful wonderful Iron Fist shoes that I intend on wearing to perform in.

the new and improved me!



New stuff on Monday

Here, is my outfit from monday. Its mostly new. I had a splurge last week on payday, £50 purely on myself. I loved it.

Below you can see I have had my hair cut, I dyed it red and I had my lip pierced. I have taken to wearing flowers in my hair as it is spring and they look cute and girly.

This here is a guy I saw last night and then again this morning. I love his coat and felt compelled to go over and stroke it. If I see him again and he doesn't think I'm a total fruitloop I may go do it again! Woo!!

Tuesday afternoon in the office

Well I've been a little absent over the last week or so. I've been busy partying and enjoying the single life.

This weekend was one of my best this year. Started by going out and doing a little shopping on Thursday after work. Bought some new clothes and what not. Went out on Friday night with the girls. On Saturday though, I went to learn how to be a drag king. Spent the day dressed as a man with breasts bound and everything. I had my lip pierced and had a go at a fake tan. I then spent Sunday doing my hair, its been cut and coloured and looks rather nice if I do say so.

Last night I went to Efes in Manchester for an all you can eat buffet and a bit of entertainment. I had a lot of fun if I'm honest.

Bringing me swiftly to today.

I dubbed today "Wear your favourite outfit day". So thats what I have done. Although I've taken to wearing flowers in my hair, I do find my fave outfit something a bit more 'hard edge'. Will put piccies up for yesterdays outfit.
