Catch Up...

I have a confession. I am a terrible blogger. I've only just realised how long it's been since my last post. I really have no excuse other than that I've been busy doing other things, for instance my novel which btw is coming along nicely. In fact straight after I upload this I'll be back to typing up my indecipherable scribblings from this last week. In all honesty I've been so wrapped up in the world of Emily (my main character) that I've not wanted to work on anything else. One day it'll be finished and I can't wait to share it with all of you.

This is more of a catch up post I suppose. Just to let you know that I am still lurking lol. And I promise to try upload more frequently. I decided that while I am catching you lovelies up, I may as well share some of my favourites from this last two weeks.

I love my magazines. I don't spend half as much money on them as I once did but I still have a few staple monthly reads.

Writing Magazine is a MUST for any writers, aspiring or published. Filled with helpful advice, and competitions to hone your skills. At £4.10 it is on the pricey side but I don't have many vices so I can justify this one!

Vogue is not one I'd usually buy to be honest. I find it's just crammed with adverts. But... I bought the June issue at £3.99 purely because one of my favourite ladies was on the cover. Hello to the Duchess of Cambridge! Are there any other Kate fans out there? This issue was still filled with loads of adverts but I also found myself being inspired by the skilled photography featured.

I subscribe to Love From... and I suppose yes you could say I'm biased because I write the Let's Talk column but I DO so love this little publication. It's just different from anything else on the market. I love that we include fresh new talent and that we don't conform to the 'style' of other traditional glossy magazines. The birthday issue is no exception. In fact I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the best issue yet. LF's first birthday also sees the re-launch. As such if you order currently, you'll get it for free! Featuring informative articles, helpful tips, inspirational pull outs, recipes for cheesecake and of course an interview with the founder/editor Florence! Try it for size and let me know what you think! Click HERE to visit the LF website and to order your free copy.

Last but not least I want to mention the new book I bought just yesterday by Paige Toon, 'The One We Fell In Love With.' I began this last night and ended staying up rather late as I got drawn into the story of three beautiful women (identical triplets) and their love for one man, Angus. I don't want to spoil the story for any of you but it's an easy going read, perfect for de-stressing after a hard day. Plus who doesn't love a bit of romance? As a paperback format it's a standard £7.99 but you can usually pick it up cheaper online or in the supermarkets. If you click HERE you'll be redirected to Paige's website.

Well it's been rather nice doing this post. I forgot how much I loved blogging! Hope you all have a fabulous weekend and I'll catch you soon... xxx
