I am slowly getting through my bookshelf and have said I won't purchase any new books until I have read them all. I have caved into a few book buys but they were on my reading list and at the charity shop for 60p so I couldn't refuse and this one was the biggest bargain yet!.

THE MOMENT YOU REALISE YOU ARE LIVING YOUR LIFE
Saturday evening and it is twenty past 10 at night. I have been reading for the past hour, my latest read is Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey and it is pretty good, smaller word print than I normally read, which is making my head hurt, i need to check in with Specsavers to see if I need reading glasses again, but I have had a bit of a wake-up moment tonight.

SOLO CINEMA DATE | TAKING SOME TIME OUT
Friday's are my day off and although I do normally work, catch up on blog admin or get ahead for the following week, I miss taking these days off and giving myself a break. The juggles of motherhood and being a working mum and also self-employed, free time always ends up being consumed with work or life errands and I really want to get out of that.

WHY YOU NEED RED LIGHT THERAPY IN YOUR LIFE | FACELITE LED FACE MASK
Skincare for me is my guilty pleasure. I love nothing more than taking my makeup off or doing my morning skincare routine. It is something I have stuck with and sworn by for as long as I can remember and I love adding and trying out new stuff that I can then implement into my regime.
