February Favourites

As it's the last day of February, I thought I'd share a few of my favourites of this month with you all. This month definitely went by quickly, probably because it's the shortest month of them all but I still managed to find a few things I enjoyed about this month. Let's get started with my February favourites. Five Survive by Holly Jackson This is a stand alone book from the author of the Good Girl's Guide to Murder series and this one was definitely an exciting read. It's where six people are on a trip in their RV when suddenly they get stuck in the middle of nowhere. They soon realise that their tyres have been burst by bullet holes and suddenly a bullet comes through the window. It doesn't take long before they find out there's an active shooter out there and what they want. A secret from one of the members of the group. Panic sets in for the group as they turn on one another, trying to find out the secret and whether or not one of them is working wi

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day. The day every single person dreads especially as we've had an entire month of shops selling Valentine's Day things such as heart shaped spoons, candles, cups, bowls etc. I mean how many heart shaped things can you get and it's literally only for once a year as I doubt any couple will go into so much effort for their date nights than on Valentine's day. Of course, I'm saying this as a bitter singleton who's only ever experienced one Valentine's Day where I wasn't single and while I cherished the card and chocolates plus the single rose, it was just another day in the calendar.  Even so, it is a depressing day when you're single because it reminds you that nobody loves you in a romantic way. Even the amount of times you've tried to find someone, they've all failed after five months. Seriously, I have yet to find myself dating anyone longer than five months. It's like the sudden five month mark and everything just falls

Top Five Romance Movies

As Valentine's Day is just around the corner I thought I'd share my top romance films with you to get you in the mood for the day of love. These are just some of my personal favourites that I love to watch if I'm in the mood for romance or just as a reminder of how single I am. Either way they are some good romance films.  Let's get started. 1. The Holiday I'm aware this is seen as a Christmas film but at the same time it's not full on Christmas like some other Christmas films. This film has everything you want in a good romance film. A good cast and a wonderful story with lots of different themes. It has themes of finding yourself, unrequited love, unexpected love, something casual that turns into something serious. It's just so heartwarming and a really enjoyable film that can be watched all year round. The Holiday is definitely one of my top romance films and I love it.  2. The Proposal This is another great film to watch. Yes, it's your standard hate

Valentine's Day As A Singleton Plans

As someone who has spent the majority of my Valentine's Day as a single person. This day can be a cruel reminder of how single you are. That's why the best way to deal with this day is through a distraction. Now if you are like me and work on weekdays then you'll most likely be working on this day. While work is a good distraction, it's a bit depressing. That's why I thought I'd share some ideas on what you can do on Valentine's Day either after work or before work and if you're lucky enough to have a day off on this day then here are a few things that you can do on Valentine's Day as a single person.  Plan a solo day trip Honestly something I love to do is go on solo day trips whether it's to a town or city or even just to a shopping centre. I love it especially if I have to travel to get there whether it's taking the train or a bus there. One of my fondest memories was when I was in university and I felt a bit down so I decided to go on a d

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
