Life Favourites - May 2015

May has been great - I started my new job role and the month has flown by with a constant to do list both at work and at home. I love May - two bank holiday weekends and its started to feel like summer is maybe coming. I've been loving once upon a time after getting up to speed with the good wife last month. It's like grown up fairytales it's stupidly magical and addictive.

I gave blood for the 10th time this month - it's such an important thing to do and so painless/ easy. If you're thinking about doing it just get on with it. One day you or a loved one might need the blood and you'll be thankful you spent 20 minutes a couple of times a year contributing to such an important service. So many people are unable too due to the restrictions around it so make the most of being healthy and able if you are.

I upgraded to my iPhone 6 this month too - pretty much solely because it's gold. I adore it the battery life is so much better than my old iPhone 5 and the screen is so much better for watching many many hours of youtube. We're about to start selling tickets for our 2015 gatsby ball too which is just the most exciting thing. If you're local to Southampton and fancy an amazing night out email for more details or to buy tickets georgina@thcf.org.uk

Finally internet meet Alfie pup. After Oscar passed away last month it was pretty important to find my boyfriends mum a doggle quickly as he was a huge part of her life. We found Alfie and he's the naughtiest but cutest little bundle of love. He's in no way a replacement as Oscar was just perfect but he's the start of a new chapter for everyone and he's too much fun. Follow me on instagram for stupid amounts of pictures of his very cute face @georginacallen

April 2015 - Life Favourites

April seems to have flown by - I feel like I've used my time well this month even though a lot of my lifestyle favorites are massive procrastinations. I have fallen in love with Alicia Florrick in the Good Wife and somehow made it to the end of Season 5 this month. The whole show is based around her and the law firms she works in but each episode is centered around a different case which makes it pretty addictive. Highly recommend if anyone's searching for a new netflix series.

My moleskin diary got a little neglected in March but has been back in my life everyday this month and I've felt so much more on top of life and have loved being super organised again. I've kept all my notes and plans up to date which has meant this month has run so smoothly. I picked up some walking boots this month as my boyfriend is all into the outdoors so I thought it would help me join in if I had some sensible shoes. Definitely managed to get knee deep in mud whilst out but it was such a beautiful day in the forest. My boots have been all hosed down and are ready to go again.

As the sun has come out - Team THCF (The Hannah Chamberlain Foundation) have been planning our October Gatsby Ball it's been super fun getting back into the charity and making plans for the year. As everyone on the trustee board has a full time job things slow down a little for us over the winter period so it's been good to get things ramped up again. Lots of exciting things to come so watch this space.

This month also included the massive blow of losing my boyfriends family dog Oscar. He's been a massive part of my life for the last 10 years ever since I met Steve so it has been super hard adjusting to him not being around. I wanted to include the photo printing service Sticky 9 though who had an awesome deal of 27 free prints when you download their app and the prints came within 2 days. I was so impressed and my boyfriends mum was so happy as she wanted some of the instagram snaps I had of him printed for a frame.

Finally I downloaded Run Sackboy Run. God this game is addictive. I can not stop playing it. If you're looking for major procrastination then download this game. However it will ruin many hours where you could be doing something far more productive.
