Hi There,

So I thought I would do a bit of an update on life, I will be 23 next month which I am excited about! Growing up is so hard, no one really tells you this when your young. Buying a house, having anything that you have to look after like pets, plants, a house or a car is just such a big thing! We have been in our house for over a year now and we are renovating, it's been slow going but we have so much time that it doesn't matter. I love being able to do whatever I want with my house, I could randomly rip my carpet up and no one could say anything.

I have lost 21Kg so far, I did 10km on my bike yesterday in 22min! That is a huge achievement for me since 9 months ago walking around the shops wore me out! I feel so motivated to loose more now that I have reached the 20kg milestone. I have a new job! My new workplace is competing in a local 10km run/walk and I am pumped that I will actually be able to do it!

I love my new workplace it's so positive and I really enjoy going to work now! I feel like I fit in so well and don't have to try, I can just be myself and they accept me! I am a big believer in being yourself and being proud of who you are but when you work with people who are always putting you down and making you feel like your hard to be around you can sometimes loose sight of that. This was such a big hurdle for me, i've been so scared to leave my comfort zone and branch out. I feel like the universe gave me a nice little nudge in the right direction!

My partner and I have been together 4 and a half years now and I truely couldn't imagine life without him, he does the sweetest things like cooking my favourite tea and bringing home my favourite snacks. He is very supportive of my weight loss and helps motivate me without making me feel like I am unattractive. I don't think we will have kids for a while yet, it's just such a huge responsibility and I just love being able to spend my sundays reading and going for walks!

Well thats all for now <3

Book Review

Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

This was a fantastic sequel, I love the journey it took me on and the new characters!
Gatlin and the world we had come to know in Beautiful Creatures was widened in this sequel, and I feel like I understand their world and the caster characters so well because of this.
Amma is such an incredible character she is so strong and makes everything feel safe (for the most part), I also love that Lila was explained more in this book and that we learn so much about her. I kind of wish Ethans dad was included more but I understand why he isn't and also wonder if he will be in the next books more?!? I just adore Link I think he's so cute and makes the story better!
I feel really satisfied after reading this and can't wait to read Beautiful Chaos.
The ending was so exciting, I really love how everyone ended up (even though im sure it will change in Beautiful Chaos). I highly recommend reading this series!
