Health kick part 2

I've made a recent discovery. On one of my searches for new healthy foods I might enjoy. I made my food discovery, Aloe vera juice.

I absolutely adore Aloe vera juice. At a sandwich bar during lunch I wanted something to drink, and since I'm trying to cut out sugary fizzy drinks I thought I'd get the healthiest thing on the menu and there is was...Aloe vera juice.

It's a strange kind of drink with bits of Aloe Vera in it too but it's naturally sweet and refreshing. Something I would definately recommend you try. I've read about it and it has lots of vitamins and is good for your immune system, great for detoxing and helping repair and protect your body.

I've also started cutting down my coffee intake too. This week I had 3, which is good considering I would drink that many in a day.

Instead of coffee I've started drinking tea no sugar, which I'm hoping to trade in for green tea at some point.

So far my substitutes seem to be working. Instead of fizzy drinks I'm having Aloe Vera and instead of coffee I'm drinking tea.

Hopefully having substitutes instead of cutting them out will help me to stick to it. Sure tea doesn't quite hit rhe spot like coffee does and I don't get that buzz but tea is something to keep me busy. Wish me luck.

Soo much drama #Roadtrip

OToday started off rather eventless.

The weather looked good so spent my afternoon in the garden enjoying the sunshine.

Thr evening however was a completely different story.

It all started with a phone call. The guys decided they wanted to go golfing. The boys were on their bikes and we were leading the way in the car with our sat nav on. We get to a red light and my brother on his bike decides to empty his pockets of his phone and wallet so he doesnt drop them from his jean pocket.

We're at a motorway now. One of the guys on his bike for some reason to overtake us, my brother follows and we hit a fork in the road. There are 3 exits and each of us are on different lane. We flash the guys to get im the same lane as us. One of them sees us but my brother panics and thinks someone behind him is flashing him since he's driving slowly. He hits the gas and we all watch him going down the wrong exit on the motorway.

We freak out and keep driving until we find a hard shoulder and stop to regroup.y brother hasn't been on the motors before on his bike and we realise he has no sat nav no phone and he doesn't know his way to golf.

After doubling back to find him we decide maybe he saw the exit to head back home and hes gone that way. At this point there are so many different turn ins he could have taken and we're all keeping our eye peeled incase we drive past him.

It's dark now and about and hours goes by before I get a call from an unknown number. Turns out he's found his way to Golf and he's waiting for us. At this point we're 10minutes fron our house and he's an hour away in the other direction.

We turn back to get him in case he can't find his way back in his own and he had no phone to call for help if he did get lost again.

All in all soo much drama and panic. We didn't make it to golf in time and all we did was drive around for 3 hours going backwards and forwards. What was meant to be a meal and golf ended up being a mini road trip and lots of drama.

Ed sheeran - You need me, I don't need you

This music video is amazing. It has BSL (British Sign Language). It's great that music is making its way to fans and that sign language is represented as being edgy. Hope you enjpy this video and maybe even check YouTube for more BSL videos of other songs.

Health kick

New job new start and all that has led me to try something new. So now I'm having a bit of a health kick.

My new office is located on the 5th floor. I've decided to try and walk up the 5 flights of stairs unless I'm running late.

It's not too bad, so far in a day I go up and down them 4 times in a day. I've also decided to use the ladies loos on the 3rd room to add a few more floors climbed to my day.

Next step would be to cut down on the junk food....which wont be easy but I'll give it a go. I'm making sure that I don't skip breakfast, which is an improvement and next step is to increase my water intake.

Will try and keep you updated on my progress. Wish me luck.

Girly Pamper day

Tonight was pretty good. I had my cousin come round and did a whole bunch of girly things. We braided hair, did nails and listened did a bit of dress up.

Having years in retail means I have lots of clothes to spare. The clothes rail in my room is buckling under the weight of all my outfits and the chest of drawers won't close anymore.

Luckily my cousin is the same size as me so we had a bit of dress up, tried on some dresses and tops. All the clothes I had literally only worn once and some still had tags on. Ever since I started working in fashion based retail I've had a problem with impulse buying. On the way home I would stop by at the shopping centres as I went through central and struggled to leave my favourite store empty handed.

Having someone who fits in my clothes and doesn't mind wearing my outfits is kind of a blessing in disguise.

Now that I've established my style and im happy with my wardrobe I'm hoping my spending on clothes will drop off and I wont need to recycle and hand-me-down my clothes as often. There's that but then again I really enjoy having girly days like this.

Tonight was unplanned and I'm glad it happened.

Katy Perry - Prismatic Tour

So today is the day I get to see Katy Perry.

The supporting act was great. Icona Pop from Sweden got the crowd going with thier mix of techno upbeat pop songs.

The bass was pumping and the crowd lit up when they started played their iconic song 'Ready for the weekend'. Everyone started singing along and the O2 was alive.

They ended their session with their number one hit 'I Don't Care'. For a supporting act they were amazing and got the croud going and completely ready for Katy Perry.

When Katy Perry walked into the stage everyone went crazy. It was upbeat and stayed that way for ages. The costume changes cames quick and fast. Each with a theme, there was the Egyptian pyramids for 'Dark Horse' the sunflowers and butterflies for 'unconditionally' and a neon Hollywood sign for 'International Smile'.

There were surprises around every corner and the Tour ended on a high. The finale was 'Fireworks'. Sparks from the fireworks sprayed the stage. Balloons and ck fetti fell from the sky and everyone left still buzzing from the show.

I had a great time and the light shows were amazing. Reminding me of the show previously put on by the Australian Pink Floyd tribute band earlier this year.

The lights were amazing the stage changes kept us on our toes and was a great Tour. Katy Perry out did herself and I can't wait to hear her up and coming albums and to continue following her.

New job. New start

It's been a while since my last post.

Lots has happened.

Right now I'm transitioning between jobs. I'm still in the fashion industry and finally made the transition from boyswear to menswear. 

I've just finished my first week and it's still a bit scary. I'm hoping that I can quickly adapt to the new system and get started on my progression. The target is to get a promotion by the end of the year.

Hopefully with a bit of hard work and graft I'm gonna hit my target and move up in the world.

Lots of love
