LIFESTYLE: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A PART TIME BLOGGER



I thought it might be quite fun to talk about what I do on a day to day basis as my life is pretty much about to change in every way possible. If you didn't know ( WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ? ) i'm pregnant and my baby is due pretty much any day now. We are due on the 4th November but I have a feeling she is going to make an early entrance. Once little bubba is here pretty much everything is going to change, I will have a little person that I have to look after every second of every day.

I'm currently on maternity leave so I've had lots of time to work on my blog and catch up with friends, I've even been watching a few seasons of Gossip Girl on Netflix.

I usually start by waking up and checking my phone, i'll scroll through everything Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, check my emails and Snapchat before getting up and ready for the day.

Once i'm up i'll pop the kettle on and make my breakfast, I've been loving Coco Pops throughout pregnancy. I usually have toast or a bagel with a cup of tea. Another look at my phone and whats going on in the world before getting ready.

My dressing table is in my bedroom and usually i'll watch a few Youtube videos or listen to some music on Spotify whilst I get ready. Once my make up is all done and my hair is straight I go and pick out an outfit and get dressed.

Then it's time to think about blogging and how i'm going to spend the day. I write a lot of lists and will usually try and plan out what blog posts i'm going to write. I'll reply to any emails and spend time working on my blog whether that's writing a product review, taking photos for my blog or I could have an outfit to feature so Clint and I might pop out to take some outfit snaps.

Sometimes i'll go and meet a friend for a coffee in town or have a chilled day at home, as I said i've been watching Netflix, right now i'm watching Gossip Girl. I'm nearly finished season 2, it's soo good.

I'll usually keep an eye on my emails throughout the day via my phone but if there's any important ones i'll pop my laptop back on and reply to a few emails. On the evening's I try and keep them free so I can chill out with Clint. We love watching films and will usually watch a film on Netflix.

As you can see I spend alot of time on my laptop and on my phone so it's really important that I have good broadband. We don't have any problems with our internet and as I said above I use it alot! It's great when were watching our programmes and films online, we don't get any buffering. It's really fast when i'm browsing my social media apps and even uploading videos to Youtube doesn't take me very long at all. Check out what packages Talk Talk Business have to offer.

And that's pretty much it, I love having a nice hot bath and unwinding. get my pj's on and ready for bed. I've been reading a few pregnancy books before bed to relax and get myself ready for bed. I've also been thinking about Christmas alot as it's just around the corner. I've been writing lists and browsing on my phone looking for the perfect gifts for our friends and family. I think were going to be doing most of our Christmas shopping online this year as I really don't fancy doing my Christmas shopping and battling the crowds with a new born baby.

How much do you use your internet at home? Do you use the internet to upload videos and watch films at home like us? Or do you just do abit of online shopping and Skype your family and friends? Use the hashtag #BroadbandandMe to share how important decent internet speeds are to you and what you use your internet for when your at home.

How the internet changed shopping




Like many of you I love online shopping! I love the fact that I can order practically anything online and have it delivered to my house without leaving my bed. Theres no queues, no hot shops, no snotty sales assistants just you and all of those amazing online stores. Most shops now have a website and you can order most of their stock online, sometimes I find theres more online than in the shops. My local topshop is quite small, so theres always alot more choice when I have a look online. You can then have you products delivered to store for you to collect, or you can have it delivered to your house.

I'm a huge fan of asos which is an online store, they have a massive selection of fashion and its so unique and trendy. They have very up to date fashions and theres always new products on their website. They also offer free saver delivery and have some really amazing brands like Motel, Primark and French Connection that some people might not be able to get in their local area. 

Here's a few Pro's and Con's when it comes down to Internet shopping! 

Pro's 

You can shop 24 hours a day !! 
No queues or other people ;) 
You can buy online and collect in store or have it delivered. 
Online discounts (ebay, vouchercloud, asos marketplace) 
Huge selection of fashion without walking around for hours.
Pay via paypal
Check in store stock online 

Con's

You have to have the internet lol - get Virgin Media here 
Don't always have your sizes.
Sometimes the sizes are weird and you have to try things on which means sending stuff back which can be a hassle.
