Doing product reviews and sharing things I love like or maybe even hate!

Hello Everyone,

Blogging has't been the top of my agenda for a long time because I'm at a lost of what to say or write about. Really. I also think my life isn't that interesting and the interesting things that happen to me tend to involve other people so I do feel it's not my place to share those.

However I've been thinking of how I can keep this going and make it interesting. Work has also been super busy as if you're read other blog post you'll realised I'm a chartered associate in a certain profession, I also work in a very small team, and the organisation has a £15 million turnover. It's a medium size but with extremely complex nature so no two days are the same.

My interests

Writing had taken a huge amount of my time because I'm working on my novel however I'm getting back into my non-writing interests and hobbies.  I do a fair bit of street photography on my phone since I like street art and there are some talented artists out there. The first two where taken on the way to work and last one was after a night out.





I also like cooking so I'll probably be sharing some very simple recipes here. I tend to throw things in the pan and see how they come out. I'm not a big ready meal or TV dinners person. The only convenience foods I really eat are breakfast cereals, breads and soups. I like Waitrose soups but I think they have changed the recipes so I've started making my own.

I'm also thinking of doing some Cordon Bleu Classes, so I'll share my experiences with you if I do. I was so excited when I discovered the school.  I've been walking past it for years and years and years and never knew - it's on a shortcut I take so my mind is never on the surrounds just getting to where I'm going. However yesterday, I just happened to look right instead of straight ahead and boom! There it was, so super excite that I may be taking some classes - well, cooking workshops. They are a bit expensive but I'll save and see.

I'll also start to review products - see if it's fun and then continue if it's something to do. I mean anything that crosses mind.

I'm fairly active on istagram and goodreads because I read Harlequin romances - I read three imprints. Goodreads is great place to engage with other readers.  I do this as a reader not writer! I've been reading Mills & Boon as a pre-teen so it's mostly habit, familiarity and I like the stories - the good, the bad and the ugly. It's a bit like watching a favourite soap opera or drama of different encounters.

That's it from me. So a bit of planning etc and maybe it will be back to blogging!

With Best Wishes

BD

Up Date on Happenings: Newly Single & 17% pay raise.

Hey Everyone, So update since my last entry. Well I had a brief fling with Mr Sexy Guy and decided he wasn't the one for me. He was cool but I learned the difference between lust, chemistry and personality. It just didn't tango for me. I'm still grossly overweight, well, fat. I don't think there is anything wrong with being called fat. I am fat. I need to lose weight but that means getting organised and stop eating delicious food. Then again my knees are hurting me and joints feel the ache. I also haven't been to the gym in three months despite paying for it. But when I do, I normally go for the sauna, hot tub and   steam room session. I've thought of cancelling the exorbitant membership but in the climate apart from bills it's the one thing that is just for me...that when I use it. Work is fine, managed to get a 17% pay raise. A big thanks to my boss who also pushed for it. It's good to work for people who support you in that matter. I think tha...

Show me your desk: Books, magazines, bottle of water, and same old clutter.

Today I have more of a writerly desk, so let's roll. From the far left handside is my writing magazine, I treat myself to it, and it has some interesting articles at times. It's just something I flick though the way other people buy GQ, Vougue or Marie Claire. It's my monthly interest magazine, and no I don't do the writing exercises but then who buys all the clothes, make-up and perfume advertised in the high-end women's magazines.  Next is a bottle of vitamins, this was a gift from Sis. Yes, as you probably realise, Sis is very generous with her gifts as they are normally featured on my desk. If fact the Apple Notebook is also one.  A small fact is that I bought my first phone only two years ago because for the last ten years, Sis gave me all her hand-me-downs. She's very on top of technology - ahead of the curve, wave or early adaptor.  Anyway she got me them because she's into healthy eating and body care, and probably got them on discount. ...

March Update: Photoshop Composting, Writing, Meal Plan, My first trip out of my area.

  This is one of the composites, I created in one of the courses. This was based on graphic design and I feel like an island floating in a new landscape. It is a composite of three images with a bit of blending.  This was from a boo Photoshop Composting I'm still finding my way with this, so I have the technical skills which I realise it a matter of masks and blending modes however the next thing is to keep on doing it until I learn the principles of graphic design. It's complicated to explain and I'm still finding my way but basically at some point I need to start doing my own stuff, and right now those images look a bit awkward until I get the design aspect right. It can be fun but also some aspects can be tedious and boring. And I guess it's a matter of keep on practice,  and I also want to get to the point, I can use my own pictures.  Writing  Going well and steady, nothing significant to report on that front. But I'm looking at a soft deadline of completing...
