Real life
So last night it was time to sit Mr W down and talk about 'the grand life plan!'
We generally just roll through life taking what comes and wondering why we never get anywhere.
Truth be told, my dream life is glamorous, my real life...not so much!! Last night it was time to get real, I may never own some louboutins or carry a balenciaga but we will damn well own a property by the time I'm 30, I will not sacrifice that dream!
So our plan?
Next July we get married :D
Mr W wants a baby almost straight away, at the moment I'm thinking I would like to wait another year.
But once the wedding is done, we carry on putting the money that we were saving away, to save for a deposit.
I
So yeah, a simple plan, but it's nice to check in with each other on where we wanna go!
Is it bad that I now can't stop looking at cute houses lol

Happy days...
I have to say, I am the happiest I have been in a long time, nothing major has changed, except my mindset.
I got a job at a lovely spa, which is nice but it's not what's changed me, I think that now I'm finally seeing the light at the end of this very long tunnel and realising that through it all and through all the crap I've done (and there has been ALOT) my wonderful man has stood right next me the entire time.
He never threatened to leave when I quit jobs or couldn't pay bills, he was there, and supportive, and listened, knowing and having the faith that I would get there eventually.
My good friend (who is in a relationship I used to envy when single) confessed he couldn't have done it, he would have left if his girlfriend had gone through what I had. I didn't know whether to get down on my knees and thank the lord for my man or judge my friend, I mean the ring on our finger means 'for better or worse' right?
I guess people just have different levels of support, I'm lucky to hand found a man with oodles of it!
I'm not writing this to shove my happiness down peoples throats, or brag or whatever. I'm doing it because once I press publish, it's out there forever. I know that this will not be the last obstacle we face in our lives together and maybe next time it'll be me that has to bend over backwards to support and love him, and this will always be here to remind me, that it gets better, maybe it won't get worse but in days that he bugs me, I can come back and read what a wonderful brilliant man I have, hopefully next time I'm down, I won't forget to smell the roses.....

Any suggestions on what to start next??

Blogsy
So after using the blogger app last night and not being able to format pictures I went on the hunt for a different app.
Normally I wouldn't spend 2.99 on an app but I really want to be able to blog away from my computer and this seems the best way.
Forgive me if over the next few days my posts look a little different, I'm just trying to figure out the features lol
Later on I will post that muffin recipe I promised :)

App happy
I am, a very happy girl!
How come no one talks about the blogger app??
Now I can keep up with my blog all the time!
If I haven't mentioned it before..I am a complete apple lover, iPod, iPad and iPhone are all in my collection, hopefully one day the MacBook will be too :)

The return!!
Hey guys!
Ok so I have been MIA for like a month, whoopsie, I know you're never meant to apologise for not blogging as it's a 'hobby' but I do feel a bit bad!
How was your weekend?
I at present am sat on the sofa watching 'britains got talent' is it me or have we run out?!
I have had such a fun day today, baked some lovely muffins (will post link to recipe tomorrow), lounged around and stuffed myself with a lovely roast!!
I did promise myself I would organise the study but I still have tomorrow to do that :)
Just wanted to drop in to say that I'm back and thank all my lovely followers for your support, mwah :)

Hungry?
I am always the last one to jump on trends, or popular stuff lol
I didn't start reading or watching Harry Potter until the 6th movie was in the cinemas!
Twilight was the same, I read the first 2 books in 3 days so my friend had someone to go see the second film with.
I always used become a fan of a band after they'd split up, it's just how I am I guess!
The hunger games is no exception, everyone's been banging on for months about them and waiting anxiously for the movie release, I on the other hand only received the books...today!
I'm actually afraid to start them as I think I'll get sucked in! I have so much to do and these will easily distract me!
Do you think I could finish all three in 10 days to keep up with my book a month plan lol

Step forward...
So these past few weeks I've had to take a step back and re-evaluate things.
That included blogging, truth be told I was trying to make myself fit into a certain 'blog mould' and that's just not me, I love beauty and make up, but it's not something I feel the need to constantly talk about.
I put so much pressure on myself to 'fit' in that I burnt out, just as my other blog got take over by pressures to craft this one got taken over by pressure to include stuff I generally don't care about.
This is going to change, I'm taking all pressure off of myself, I no longer care why I'm not being invited to certain events and I am certainly never going to ignore my wonderful fiancé so that I can blog!
I have quit my job, I hated it, and it was making my unhappy, i mean badly unhappy and i was earning pennies so it wasn't even rewarding me in that aspect.
This a complete turn of leaf for me, I am going to find my passions and be me, no more peer pressure allowed here!!
I'd love to know if others have felt this way, as I don't believe I am alone!
Much love

Where are you??
I'm lost of all inspiration....
Literally, I can't inspire myself to do anything lately, our house is so overdue of loving that its depressing me, I can't figure out what look to do for my next make up tutorial, blogging is very difficult as I'm stuck in this baron place!
Ever feel like you want to do something but you just can't, our living room still looks so bare after xmas decs were taking down, and I can't actually manage to get myself to make it look cute again, I just sit in our office or bedroom and avoid that room, Fiancé doesn't see it, guess that's a man thing. He just see's it's tidy so it's all good!
My plan for Friday afternoon is to make our living room somewhere that I want to spend time, Maybe print some new pics off to refresh? or just move some things around, it also doesn't help that it's such a dark room in the winter, maybe I need to work with that rather than trying to change it?
Like, make it all cosy instead of airy, because airy does not come across in a dark room!
Seeing my list the other day, reminded me that if I want to do anything I need to kick myself up the bum once in a while to get it done!
I'm just soooo good at procrastinating though!

In sickness and in bed
Hey guys,
Sorry I've been MIA recently..those who follow me on Twitter will know that I've been ill :(
Severe throat infection, yuck. Luckily I have a lovely fiancé so I have been bought soup and wheetabix whenever I desire!
I'm planning to do a few make up tutorials next week for my Youtube channel, when I stop sounding like I've been smoking 60 a day that is!
Any requests for any looks or trends please submit them as I love inspiration!
Def going to do a mineral make up tute, loads of people seem confused on that one :) but any others, whether it be colours, techniques, celeb looks etc I will do my best to achieve!
Loves
Kim xx
Ooh and a BIG HELLO to my new followers :) xx

Handmade monday
Gosh didn't last week go quick!!
Had to move my on line shop as I hated the customisation options, or lack of, shall I say, of my last host.
Thanks to the replies on craft forum I decided to move to Create, and I love it!!!
However now that I can customise absolutely everything I think it make take longer to get up and running!!
This week I've been thinking a lot about the direction to go in regarding my crafts, I would like a bit of advice if I may ask that of you?!
A lot of this would be specific to jewellery/clothes makers/designers but I'd like everyone's opinion if possible?

- Do you design according to seasons I.e spring/summer, Autumn/winter like the fashion world does?
- What about holidays, do you create a special collection for them, valentines, Christmas etc
- Have you thought about collections, like to you have a premium range and a standard range, could entice more customers?
Thank you to everyone who replies :)
And for Wendy's Handmade Monday I have these to share...
I love these beads, have a few more of them so trying to come up with something else to use them on!!

Calling all on line shop owners!!!
Sooo close to be ready to launch shop!!!!
I am currently building it with Miiduu but am finding the templates very limiting and customising it is frustrating at best, I was wondering if anyone with an on line shop could give recommendations??
Have heard good things about BigCartel but would like to hear experiences before I pay to sign up!
Please other crafty/handmade sellers, help me?!
Thank you, I will be eternally grateful for all advice :)

Well, seek and you shall find!
Turns out that ZOMG! Is an amazing new collaboration with ReeRee Rockette (Rockalily lipstick) and Zozo (The London Lipgloss) and have created a new Rockalily lipstick titled ZOMG!

The lipstick is described by Zozo as "Red toned enough to suit darker skinned girls but also blue toned enough to suit pale girls - like me and ReeRee! It'll make your teeth look whiter, will last all night long and is so pigmented you'll hardly believe your eyes. Trust me, I've tried a lot of lipsticks and Rockalily's are by far the best!"

Sounds soooo good doesn't it?
Can't wait to get my hands on one :)
The official launch is on 30th January, and I have been lucky enough to receive an invite for the event, eek!!!
Is anyone else going? Can't wait to meet fellow bloggers!

Italy update...
So, I think we may have found our wedding co-ordinator, or shall I be all cheesy and say wedding planner? Ok then, I think we may have found our wedding planner!!!!!
She's done lots and lots of weddings in Italy and has soooo many contacts, she makes me even more excited every time I speak to her!!
We're going to meet her next month to discuss in fine detail so between now and then I have to draw up a list of EVERYTHING I want!!

Wedding Dresses???
So now that we've decided to get married in Italy, I am free to follow my dream of having 2 wedding dresses :)
One for our civil ceremony and one for our blessing.
I also want them to be completely different so I was thinking along the lines of these for the civil ceremony...
I absolutely adore Holly Branson's dress, especially the neck like, so chic!!
One for our civil ceremony and one for our blessing.
I also want them to be completely different so I was thinking along the lines of these for the civil ceremony...
Can go a bit more funky and fashionable for that and then something more fairytale for the blessing....

Would love to hear opinions on all the dresses!!
