Fox in Flats #HairDare

Last year I was pretty crap at keeping up with the amazing Fox in Flats Style Dares. I’d occasionally do one and then last 2-3 days then stop. This year one of my goals was to do more of the Style Dares & do all 7 days.

The first dare was “Wear your hair in a different style every day for 7 days in a row”

I usually wear my down mainly cause I can’t be bothered doing anything with it, unless we’re going out somewhere special so this was lots of fun.

day 1 day 2 day 3 day 4 day 5 day 6 day 7

1. Simple plait | 2. Half up, half down | 3. Plait & bun | 4. Messy ponytail | 5. Alice band | 6. Wet curls | 7. Side plait and updo

Looking forward to the next style dare.

20 days to Organise and Clean your home Challenge – Take 2

The Organised Housewife

It’s that time of the year again. Christmas and New Year are over and it’s time to get the house back in order and a lot more organised. I really want to get our house more organised and clean in 2013. Creating a warm, inviting sanctuary if you will.

I took part in The Organised Housewife 20 Days to organise and clean your home the first time it ran and I loved it. The house stayed pretty clean and organised… until just before Christmas. And of course we hosted Christmas lunch so that added to the mess.

I’ll just be blogging my journey this time, not sharing on Instagram cause I ended up forgetting half the time lol

One of the pre challenge tasks was to set some goals. Here are mine:

  1. I want to feel RELAXED & COMFORTABLE while I’m at home.
  2. I want to spend more time PLAYING WITH MISS K INSTEAD OF CLEANING.
  3. I want an area of the home where I can DO SCRAPBOOKING.
  4. I want to organise MY WHOLE HOUSE.
  5. I always lose KEYS & WALLET.
  6. Something that I don’t need anymore , but am having trouble parting with KITCHEN STUFF I NO LONGER USE.

So roll on the next 20 days….

My week according to Instagram

I’m still not 100% sure what I think of all the proposed changes at Instagram but I’m gonna give them the benefit of the doubt for now and keep using them. I did end up deleting a heap of photos though. I’ve started using EyeEm to see what they are like & am posting stuff on Flickr again too. If you want to keep up to date with my photos I’m taking for Fat Mum Slim’s Photo-A-Day I’m posting them all at ShutterCal. If you’re using any of these I’d love for you to link me up so I can follow you 🙂

Anywho, onto my week according to Instagram

New look

Well Christmas & New Year are over for another year. Time for a blog makeover.

I’m planning on doing a lot of simplifying in 2013 and have started here on my blog. A new, clean and simple theme. Cutting down the number of blog categories (but upping the blog post tags).

Would love to hear what you think.
