Ranting it up - letting it all out.

Blog everyday in May - Day 22: Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really feel. (a pet peeve, a current event, a controversial topic, something your husband or roommate or neighbour or boss does that really ticks you off)

Oh Boy - I will try to limit this rant because today was a bad day and I am not in a good mood.

My rant for the day is: People who complain about their circumstances, but do NOTHING to change it.

Sometimes a situation is difficult to change and I think most people's biggest issue is financial. But if you don't try, how will you ever improve your circumstances? There is always a solution and sometimes you have to look/try a little harder, but it is better than sitting back and complaining about how bad your life is and how unlucky you are, blah blah blah

I don't mind listening to a person when they want to have a bit of a rant to get something off their chest. We all need a good bitch session every now and then. However, I begin to get annoyed when they complain about the same thing over and over without doing a single thing to change it.

I hate my job and I am under-paid.
Have you looked for any new jobs? No

I am so fat nothing fits me.
Are you watching what you eat? No I like my food.

I've had this funny blister for a month now and it hurts so much!
Have you been to the doctor? No, I am sure it will go away 

I have NO money!
Have you tried to manage your budget? No, but look at the 2 new pairs of boots I bought in different colours.

I hate the way that person talks to me.
Have you spoken to them about it? No.
Do you want me to talk to them in a nice way? No just leave it.

Grrrrr! (Now I feel better!)

50 Shades of Ian Somerhalder

I wish they would stop with the suspense and just tell us who is going to play the infamous Christian Grey.
I really think it has to be Ian Somerhalder.

Watch this VIDEO of him discussing a funny encounter he had in a grocery store and a lady he caught reading the book.

Wow he is sexy....

I can't get no... Motivation

Blog everyday in May - Day 20: Get real. Share something you’re struggling with right now.

At the moment I am struggling to find motivation.

Usually I go to the gym at least 5 times a week. I have accepted the fact that I will never be supermodel skinny, however, I would like to have a toned body and be fit and healthy.

I realised too late in life just how important it is to look after your body.

If your body is fit, so is your mind.

I do not do well when I try to diet, so I prefer to eat what I like, but try to keep it in moderation, and instead exercise to prevent the extra weight gain.

So far this has worked well for me and I can definitely see the difference when I go through periods of not exercising and eating junk.

I hit a slump when I returned from Japan to a back-log of work and - double whammy - a “relationship” ended before it had even started.

With nobody to do my job in the time I was away I had to scramble to catch up and ended up working late nights again. It seems that I have still not caught up and I have neglected the gym.

I have not only gained weight, but I have become ill with flu. All signs that the stress has taken a negative toll on me again.

I need to get back into it, but I am struggling to find the motivation.

Blog Love

Blog everyday in May - Day 19: Five of your favorite blogs and what you love about them

1. The Cow Jumped Over the Moon - I have already waxed lyrical about Kate, so before I send out lesbian vibes - I will say that Kate is 1 of my favourite blogs out there. Read her, you will see why.
2. Purple Lips and Perfect Smiles Claudz always has such a positive outlook on life. When you meet her in real life, she is the same as the way she comes across on the blog; chatty, vivacious & confident. She blogs about a variety of topics and I love every post!
3. Vanilla Blonde - Bailey Schneider is bubbly, positive and a lovely person. Her posts are warm and make a person feel happy
4. Skinny Bitches in the Making - Doesn't the name just make you love them? Candid and refreshing. I love that they articulate everything I feel as a single, independant woman.
5. Peas on Toast - I have been reading Peas for years. Her blog is honest and hilariously funny
