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...

Post Natal Depression - a Journey

This will perhaps be the most difficult post to write as it means revisiting old feelings and experiences, however I feel like it is the right time for me to express this and also if someone happens to stumble upon this post and it helps them in anyway no matter how small then that can only be a good thing. I had known for a long time after having my daughter that I did not feel like myself / did not feel 'right' however I would always put this down to other factors mainly resulting in me blaming myself and in turn I would feel worse. Its actually really difficult to know where to begin with this post, and as I am typing I am already trying to think of ways to make it as brief as possible, but this would be missing the point! To summarize, I only actually got diagnosed with Post Natal Depression (sometimes Ante Natal Depression) after my daughter was 2 and a half years old, that is a long time I was suffering and it was fair to say I was at breaking point when I walked into t...

Back to Work - A Working Mum

Shortly after Karmen turned 2 years old I started a part time weekend job, which has now developed into 3 full days during the week. At the beginning I had conflicting feelings about going back to work, which I will go into in a moment, however now I really enjoy it, and it offers a great balance and value to my life. To begin with I had not considered working a job, part time or otherwise whilst Karmen was so young. This was partly due to my beliefs and partly due to the way I was feeling (post natal depression) .  It was a friend who first suggested to me to go for a job, it was something she was currently doing and having been in a similar situation to my own with similar emotions she pushed me into applying and going for it, for this I am truly so grateful. I remember the day of my interview I was incredibly nervous, which would of been totally out of character for the 'old me' to the point where I actually cried as I was getting ready as I had zero confidence in my abi...
