Bye bye Blah Blah Becky

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed that this blog is still gaining followers (THANK YOU!) so I just wanted to remind you that I will no longer be updating this blog as I’ve started a new one:

life/style/flash.

Thank you to every single person who followed this blog in the 2-ish years I’ve been writing it. I’m sad to say goodbye but the time feels right for a new adventure!

I do hope you’ll visit my new blog and if you like it I’d love it if you’d follow!

Every end is a new beginning

I always look forward to the new experiences and new challenges each year brings, even if I’m sad to see another particularly good one depart. I already have lots of exciting things on the horizon for the next 12 months and hopefully many, many more that will crop up as the weeks roll by.

One big change that I will be making will be to move from this blog to a new one. It’s something I’ve been considering for a long time. While this blog has brought me more than I could ever have hoped for I’ve not been happy with the name for so, so long and it’s time to do something about it.

So, please visit my new blog: life/style/flash.

As I start this new adventure, and I really do hope you’ll join me, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit this blog, whether that be to read one post or on a more regular basis if you’re a follower (particular appreciation if you’re the latter!).

Happy new year! I hope 2012 brings you everything you wish for and more!

 

My Christmas 2011: a photo diary

When I moved to London in August not only did I realise how much stuff I actually have but I also downsized space-wise so every purchase has to be carefully considered. Living through my first (memorable) recession has also shown me the pointlessness of spending hundreds of pounds on presents for the sake of it – especially considering most ‘Christians’ in the UK are non-active and atheism is on the rise.

This isn’t a ‘bah humbug’-type post. I love Christmas. I love the twinkly lights, the bright colours, the fact that everyone is in a better mood, wearing sequins during daylight, layering on the knitwear, listening to bad/good music, watching overly-sentimental films, cracking open the alcohol with breakfast and that being ok.

This is just to say that the emphasis of my wonderful, understated Christmas has been on spending time with family and friends and that’s exactly how I think it should be.

My New Year’s Resolutions (2012)

I wasn’t going to set any resolutions for 2012 as I rarely stick to them and setting yourself up to fail isn’t fun in my opinion – and who wants to exercise more and eat less anyway?!

However I just find this time of year too inspiring (particularly with new season collections peppering editorials/blogs and the urge to purge my wardrobe and start afresh is hard to resist) so I decided to set some more positive tasks for myself – though hopefully they’ll be no less life-changing.

Have you made any resolutions this year yet? Do share if you have!
