30 Day Snap #6 | Chilling out in the garden

I woke up with having swollen glands, Yay!

It was such a beautiful day with having the heat at 24 degrees.

So I decided after a bath and face mask, to lie out in the sunshine, with my medicine, my diary, travelling journal, Barry M nail polish.

I used to detest the planes going by everyday, making me homesick, but hey just 17 day till I'm flying back to Ireland.

I hung out the washing and laid down on a mat, just playing my guitar. I kept checking my watch to be sure I was on time for work. Ooh, and I was wearing my River Island shorts cos I've lost the lovely tan. Sad times, sad times!

My uncles garden is lovely to look at. He keeps it maintained very well. I love seeing the roses out and the red petals laid across the gravel. I love the two colours together. He grows his own herbs at the back. And he hopes one day to have his own chickens, Heehee, randomly enough.

Anyway, even though my face was as large as a bull, I got to have a relaxing day out in the sunshine, enjoying the nature around me. We were so blessed to have it.

I hope you too are enjoying the weather. Anything nice you've been up to?

30 Day Snap #1 | BBQ & Family

I'm amazed how this time last year I was doing the 30 day snap challenge (inspired by none other than our wonderful lifestyle blogger Sprinkle of Glitter) I actually met some amazing bloggers from it last year.

I've decided with posting each days snap a day ahead. Sinead muh #truefan over at Dreaming Again came up with the idea first. But I think since we're Irish, we're allowed to be late Haaahaa ;)

30 Day Snap Challenge - Day 1 June 2014

I really was not in the mood for a day of going to a family BBQ with a throat infection, but by the end of the day I was happy I went. I couldn't exactly gulp the food down but being out in the sunshine was nice. Getting heavenly cones from the ice-cream van was a delight as well. Back in Ireland, in home estates we don't really get much ice-cream vans (*mutter* God has probably something to do with it.)

I enjoyed feeding Cleeko with some of my sprinkle-covered ice-cream. The little sweetie fell asleep on my lap which was so adorable. He reminds me of a little lamb.

So Cleeko, the sunshine, the flowers and my little cuz Coco were some of the highlights of my day. Just a nice relaxing Sunday, as it should be.

The picture of my cousin trying to have a stare down competition with Cleeko makes me laugh. He kept turning his head towards the chicken legs on the table :D

And finally my Instagram pictures of the day.

If any of you are doing the 30 Day Snap Challenge, let me know, I'll be interested in following your months journey :)

Thanks for reading lovies :)

Thankful Thursday | Sun, Parks, Friends & Family

Park next to my College in Barnet

So, yes I am posting this at night. My time to publish blogs. It's quiet, people are asleep, so I find it more relaxing being able to think.

My  week was stressful, not exactly fun, but the sun really did help my mood. Whenever there's sunshine, there's a happy Kayla, "Oh Mr. sun, sun, Mr. Golden sun, please shine down on me."

I spent most of my time this week in the parks, soaking up my vitamin D, with my kindle.

It feels as though it's summer already and it's only March! Amaze-balls!

So on with my 'Thankful Thursday'

Having support from my friends during stressful times

Time spent with my Aunt, cousin, Uncle & his family. Family meals, get-togethers watching 'Ant & Dec'

Walks in the woods (seeing my cousin pleased with herself horse riding in the woodlands)

My most loveliest friend joining the land of blogging. Please go check her out  and follow because even though she is new to all of this, her stories and opinions will be amazing PeachyF is her name... hey the girl likes peaches :) 

My brothers strange sense of humour... seriously the guy laughs at his own jokes

My cousin running away from me... cheeky!

This guy is always beside me when I'm reading. I can always hear him chewing, judging me on what type of  book I'm reading!

So lads & lassies I hope you had an enjoyable week in the sun (those of you who had). Let me know what you were grateful for this week.

Lots of crazy luvin'
