My 2016 so far!

Hey hey ladies, I know it’s been a really long time. I’ve had so much going on, a mind just wondering here and there. But I’m back! So let me fill you in on what’s been happening.

I started a new role that’s had me tearing out my hair, (it feels good to say hair and not weave haha) and trying to find my feet. It really has been a challenge for me so much so I was willing to give it all up and go back to a role I knew I could do with my eyes closed. But that’s just giving up and not me. So everyday I give myself a quite talk and keep going. Taking lots of deep breaths along the way. I mean if it’s not a challenge what’s the point? I would never grow, I wouldn’t learn new things, I wouldn’t be able to better myself or my practise, so I just got to keep on going. What doesn’t break you makes you stronger right?!

Anyway what else has been happening, I was DATING, you heard me right dating a real life actual guy, really cute too, nice car, good job and did I forget to say very cute. But, but, but, there’s always a but. There were things that just cringed me out about him. And tbh I don’t want my blog to go in a certain direction so I’m just going to stop right there. Well maybe I’ll  name the other things. He seemed so secretive, there was always a reason why I could never go to his place, he would disappear for hours over the weekend and it was either because he was sleeping or in hospital, I mean seriously how many times can a person end up in hospital?! Anyway as much as I really wanted this to work, something inside of kept saying he wasn’t the one. So that came to an end, unfortunately not a good one. But hey that’s life.

I’ve also been spending so much time concentrating on achieving my goals I set out at the beginning of 2016. Trying to make sure by the end of each month I have something I can tick of my list. I won’t speak too much on this, if you want to know more send me a message, and I may write a post on that too.

Now I’ve caught you up with me. What’s new for you ladies and men? I’ve been receiving some nice feedback from men too. How sweet. Lol. How has your new year goals been taking shape? Any new experiences you would like to share?

Peace out ladies and guys, here’s to more posts. 

6 ways to manage your weekend!

Hey there. To try and make my week especially my weekend more productive I looked at some various things I could do differently. If you missed my post last week on what I would call my moan on not having enough time over the weekend you can find it here

So this week I evaluated how I spend my time and looked at areas which I named time wasted. And what I could do to make the most out of my weekends.

1. The first thing which I probably already knew I needed to do was cut down on my Netflix time, as I can spend hours going from one episode to the next. I suggest you look at how much time you spend on Netflix or even just watching TV in general, and minimise it especially if you know there are things you need to get done. Let’s face it Netflix isn’t going anywhere, but your time is.

2. Set yourself daily tasks, but don’t over do it, just a few simple tasks each day, be clear about the tasks you set yourself.

3. Invest in a diary, I bought one the other day. I usually use my phone but with all the things I seem to have going on, going back to old school pen and paper makes things a whole lot clearer for me. I’m not going to lie I was really excited about using my pretty pink diary for the first time and probably wrote a few useless things in there just for the sake of it!

4. STICK to it!! This is the bit I find hardest to do, I either add things onto my list on the day and end up ignoring what I actually planned to do or I only do half the things on my list.

5. Schedule some “me time”. This may sound so silly but when you have a busy schedule you tend to have 100 things going around in your head all at once, and I don’t know about you but this just makes me have what I call a mini break down and I just shut down and spend all day in bed. So having some time to just chill and gather your thoughts can help with this. And help prioritise what needs to go in your to do list!

6. On the weekends have a cut of point to your lie in, and if you have things to do outside that doesn’t involve meeting up with a friend set yourself a time limit as to when you want to leave. Because to be honest that is probably the only reason I would have to leave the house at a specific time on the weekend. If I had it my way I would be out and and about trying to get things done at 7pm on a Sunday evening, as this seems to be the time I come alive.

I'll  let you know how this is working out for me. How do you manage your time? Any tips you care to share?

Peace out SLGG!

Sunday Fly Day!

Why do Sundays just fly by. Like seriously I wake up stay in bed most of the morning and bang it’s over time to start my ironing and getting ready for Monday.

I seriously hate Sundays. All I want to do is relax and do literally nothing but it seems like there is just so much to get done and such little time to do it.

I know, I know time manage better I hear you say but no I don’t want to time manage on a Sunday I just don’t want to do a single thing.

And by the time I do manage to get up and do the ironing I’m rushing just so I can get some more time in bed just chilling listening to my music and reading some blogs.

Take last weekend for example I went out quite early on the Sunday came home, took a nap spent a good couple of hours laying around in bed writing a post while watching Netflix. It took me another hour to actually start my ironing to realise half the clothes were still damp, why they were damp I have idea I’ve head the heating on for literally the whole weekend. Kmt, so anyway that bought me some more time. Then I forgot I had run out of milk so took a stroll to the shops at this point my brain was on one, completely buzzing with a hundred different thoughts about the things I still wanted to do before going to bed.

I’m usually a really fast walker but just to help me clear my head a bit I just decided to take my time and take in the crisp winter air for a little bit before heading back home, which did help I love going for walks really helps to set things in order for me.

Well in all honesty I know the answer to my dilemma, time manage better. But I just don’t want to. Lol. And I guess I really do need to be stricter with myself otherwise I’ll  be having a rant like this every Sunday night. 

In this case I did manage to calm myself the walk definitely helped, plus typing it all up was the best way for me to clear this busy mind.

A bit random but I do have to say I love this whole blogging life, it gives me a place to vent and of course hopefully its something some of my followers can relate to and leave my page thinking thank god I’m not the only one going through this or thinking like this.

What do you think you need to time manage better? 

If you feel my blog inspires you to take on new challenges or you feel you can relate to some of my posts share in the comments your thoughts.

My Sunday ramble is all done for tonight.

Next Sunday I'll let you know how I managed my time just that bit better! 

Lots of love SLGG. 

Psycho or Tease

I find this topic so funny because one can turn a guy completely of you while the other leaves them wondering is this girl for real, am I in with a chance, am I actually going to get lucky? 

Let me break this down I’m the psycho as we established in my previous post The Shocking Truth About Crazy Women, and a good friend of mine is totally the tease.

Now from my past experiences being the psycho gets you no where, it confirms to the guy your a nut job and has him running so fast when he finally does stop it definitely isn’t to look back. She’s the girl or should I say I’m  the girl that deletes the number because  he took too long to reply, then feels silly when he finally does reply so adds it back, then in 24 hours later deletes it again for yet yet another silly reason, just to go to so much effort to find it again then save it because  obviously  I want him to see how sexy I look in my display picture and when he’s acting up I need to be able to make sure he’s seen the meme I stole of instagram  that clearly explains why I’m so irritated with him or what it is I would like him to do. Because just like the tease the psycho finds it hard to openly say what she wants but she wants him, forever and ever and ever. Lol.

So the tease, what is she all about, really she wants the guy, she’s dying to be with him, she uses any silly excuse to WhatsApp him, she waits eagerly for his replies, she’s waiting for him to declare his undying love for her, in other words to put a ring on it. But this she will never admit, oh no! She would rather die than admit this, so instead she plays games enticing and teasing him when she’s “bored”; meaning she’s at home watching a movie and wishes she had a confirmed bae to cuddle up with and have some Netflix and chill time. So there goes the first WhatsApp message of the night and this goes back and forth all night long till he finally feels comfortable to ask her to come over and bang she replies “I’m so tired I’m going to bed”. Applauds to the tease. Let’s just clarify, everything she said she meant there wasn’t a word she didn’t mean.

But as females we need confirmation that he only wants us, that all the other girls are gone, he only wants to spend the rest of his time with us, and not just for the time being but forever, because we’re ladies and the second we give our number to a guy we're secretly planning our wedding and the names of our children.

So ladies which one are you, psycho or tease, don’t forget to please comment and share. 

 
Mwah SLGG!
