Trying To Move Out...

So my name is Stef and I am 24 years old and still living at home with my parents.

I always thought I would be the type of person that wouldn’t want to move out of my parent’s house until I was at least living with someone else. However, recently I have been thinking a lot more about moving out and living on my own. To have my own little place that could be all mine, that I had worked hard for and that I could make my own and something I could call my own.

However, I work full time as a Manager at a fast food outlet, though I make a good wage at the end of the month I still do not have enough money to move out. Why does the price of living have to be so god damn expensive? To even get a small one-bedroom flat that I wouldn’t consider to be worth the money is £500 a month and that’s rent alone – no heating or electricity.

I am starting to get a little bit dishearten that I will never be able to move out unless its with someone else. But I really like the idea of living on my own where nobody can bother me if I want to sleep in until 12pm or eat my dinner in the bath while watching a film on my laptop.

So the question I am asking myself now is, do I save up enough over the next few years to buy a reasonably nice house or do I work harder and more hours each month to just move out and rent somewhere. It is such a big decision and sometimes I get stressed out even thinking about the fact that all my friends are moving out, living with their partners or on their own and I am still living at home wondering what the hell to do with my life?

I really wish that when I had turned 18 and started working full time hours that I saved more money and that I had planned more for this.

And hope that sometime soon I will be able to move out and have a little place that I can make my own.

I cannot be the only person that thinks about this kind of stuff and stresses over it right?

Slimming World - Week 2

My first week back at Slimming World and I would say that it was a complete success! 99% of the time I was on plan with just one day where a Nandos may have happened!  It paid off! My first weigh in and I lost 2.5lbs! I am delighted, it just goes to show you that if you stick to it then it pays off and you will see the results that you want. If I lose 2.5lbs every week I will be one happy girl! Lets hope this week I am just as determined as I was last week! Start Weight - 12Stone 12.5lbs Current Weight - 12Stone 10lbs To Target - 1 Stone 10lbs Thanks, Stef x

Mario Badescu Make Up Remover

For many months now I have been using a waterproof mascara as I feel like it hold a better curl and last a lot longer without dropping or shortening the curl. One thing I could not stand and quite frankly dreaded was having to take the mascara off to apply a fresh coat, I used to spend ages tugging at my lashes to try and get all the product off but for some reason my lashes just never felt clean, I always felt like there was still a coat of mascara on them. I searched the shops for removers that were specific to taking off waterproof mascara and even they did not seem to work either.  I loved how to mascara looked and I did not want to have to try and find another mascara that looked as good. I was looking through Beauty Bay a few months back and found the brand Mario Badescu and I remembered watching a video of Zoe where she spoke and raved about how good the brand was. Since I had tried everything else I didn't think it would hurt to give their waterproof ...

2017 Goals!

I am the worst person ever for sticking to any goals that I set myself. I either just give up days after setting them or I totally forget that I set them at all. But this year I want to be different, I want to write my Goals for 2017 down and try really hard to tick them off and actually stick to them throughout the whole year. I sat down a few days back and really thought about the things in 2016 that made me not happy and change this habit in 2017 and make my goals achievable.  Goal Number 1 - To stick to Slimming World the entire year. I joined Slimming World in December of 2015 and for the majority of the year I was pretty good and stuck to it about 80% of the time - resulting in me losing 1stone3lbs in total. However, over the last 2 months I have totally fallen off the wagon and eating everything in sight - so that weight I lost is probably all back on now. So, I am making this happen this year and going to rejoin my class on Thursday and will be to target by t...
