Moving Out and Interior Design

Many of you may of already been through and experienced moving out for the first time and some of you maybe have moved lots of times therefore what I'm about to cover will probably be a bit old hat to you! Although as you may of realised from my baby product post I am really passionate about the choices I make so there may be something of interest for all experience levels of moving house!

This has been a long time coming for us and is somewhat overdue so I am a mixture of nerves and excitement and I wouldn't be being myself I wasn't ever so slightly stressed about the choices I have!  I have a rough idea about styles of decor that I would like. Admittedly some (most) of them are more suitable to a 5 bedroomed georgianesque mansion but oh well I will have to adapt won't I! Let's begin with the living room and color schemes; greys, silvers, whites, mirrors with a touch of something sparkley and shiny. That's what I am into at the moment and luckily it seems to be a popular theme so shouldn't be difficult to find nice pieces. The sofa I have my eyes on is a grey/silver crushed velvet corner sofa. 
Something a bit like a cross between these. 
If you haven't seen the crushed velvet sofa fabric in person it is so shimmery so shiny so multi tonal very glam and right up my street. I am prepared for mixed opinions on it the 'oh it's very typical essex' 'oh how tacky' well blah blah its luxe and I love it!
So with the settee generally being a focus point of the living room I've decided on white furniture for other pieces. I shall update with details once everything is in place! 

Now this is where I become slightly unstuck because I have my theme and settee to work from but there is simply so much choice out there for small furnishings. Store wise I absolutely love Zara Home but again once I'm in there I want to purchase everything which is a total mismatch of styles of obviously a ridiculous idea. I've also been looking at the catalogues of Debenhams and Next. Although there is the likes of Dunelm Mill and The Range which is on the cheaper end of the scale but I know that they do have some hidden gems. 
Here are some inspiration idea pics
This I love love love it looks so cosy!(above)
 

I am so open to any suggestions or outside input so please leave me a comment with any thoughts! After realising I've been rather vague in this post I will probably wait until I have everything in place for the other rooms and then I can do a lovely non rambling post with actual product advice!

Love Kim xxx

My Lip Filler Journey

Here it is as promised - my lip filler journey / experience. Lip fillers are something I’ve always been in 2 minds about. One week I’m thinking Yes! I’m doing it and researching the best practitioners etc and then by the following week I’m having doubts - what if it goes wrong? What if I hate it? What if it ruins my face forever? And so on. So when a good friend of mine embarked on a training course to learn all things beauty including fillers and aesthetics I knew this would fall into my comfort and I would get to finally try it out whilst also supporting my friend. I’m notorious for researching things excessively so I pretty much had in my mind what I wanted to get from the fillers - I wanted as natural as possible, keeping the same shape as my natural lips but just a bit fuller. I specifically didn’t want the ‘duck face’ look and I wanted upper and lower lips to be balanced! My main decision to be made was whether To have 0.5ml or 1ml. On the advice of my friend and from my ex

Slimming World and Vegan Cheese Review

The Slimming World Plan is a diet (lifestyle) plan that I have done before, and I did have some success, I lost half a stone, but this was during a not so good phase in my life so I didn't stick to it as long term as I should! Since then I have been on and off with it or saying that I am doing it but not being 100% committed. Or flitting between other silly fad diets! But since January this year I have been fully committed to the Slimming World Plan, of course I have had a fair few days where I have been off plan but this is ok, and one of the main principles of Slimming World is not build up an issue with food where you are punishing yourself for enjoying a treat or feeling negative about going off plan and then spiraling into more days of unhealthy eating! Since January I have lost 3kg which I am really pleased about but I do still have about another 6kg to lose. I have been a vegetarian for over 10 years now and at the beginning of last year I tried going Vegan, the part of

Post Natal Depression - A Journey - Part 2

I have again left a big gap between part 1 of this and part 2 but hey ho, all in good time ! Picking up from where part 1 left off ( part1 ) I want to explore more of the things that helped me in a major way and hopefully this could help someone feeling similar or give some ideas to help or even just spark a bit of hope in someone who is feeling hopeless (I know this feeling oh to well, you’re not alone)  Counselling -  There are many different types of counselling and it really is an individual thing/choice as to which is most suitable for you. I had one to one counselling based on CBT which I believe the basis is to help you be able retrain your brain to manage and control the unwelcome thoughts. I was so nervous at first and was still having all the negative and unworthy thoughts about attending but i ending up really looking forward to my sessions. One of the most challenging but most rewarding parts is the ‘homework’, for example my therapist would set tasks that I would have to
