When we talk about relationships, we generally mean a loving, sexual relationships between two people – although of course, there are many different ways that relationships can be defined. When I talk about making time for relationships, I mean for all of those important people in our lives. We all tend to be so busy, that it can be be easy to lose touch with people but it really is worth making the effort to restore these connections.

Indulging in Lady Voluptuous
If you follow me on any social media then you’ll have seen that I spent last weekend in Bournemouth and it was brilliant! I was actually there to attend the Club Indulge Weekender – which is the first weekend event the club night has run.

Looking After Your Eyes
As a blogger and social media enthusiast, I spend a lot of
time sat behind a computer screen. When you couple that with the fact that I
work a desk job sat at a computer, it stands to reason that doing something to
make sure this is all done in the right way should be done.

work a desk job sat at a computer, it stands to reason that doing something to
make sure this is all done in the right way should be done.
Using Computers
When it comes to sitting at a desk and using a computer,
lots of us are told about making sure we have the desk set up correctly. We
know that a supportive chair is important and that we should make sure that we
sit correctly so as not to damage our posture. In the work place we’re often
given assessments to ensure that we have our desk in the right way. Screens need
to be in the right position and keyboard/mouse set up needs to be straight so
that your body is not twisted in a strange way.

Sometimes sitting in the way that is best for us can take
some getting used to as we are so used to sitting in a way that feels most comfortable. However, once you follow any guidelines set to you and you are more
used to sitting that way you’ll actually find it much more comfortable – especially
long term!

Looking After Your Eyes
Of course, one of the dangers of sitting at a computer all
day is strain on your eyes. If you’re someone that ends the day with a headache
then this is something that you need to make sure you address. Getting an eye
test sooner rather than later is something that I would really recommend.
Headaches can be really unbearable and you don’t want them to start affecting
your work if they start to happen more frequently.

One thing to also be aware of is the amount of un-natural
light that our devices omit. The light from these devices isn’t the same as
sunshine and so affects our eyes and brain in a much different way.

Known as blue-light this light can affect our eyesight in
many different ways, as well as being a factor in keeping us awake late. We all
know that we would benefit from switching screens off a while before we sleep
and this is because blue-light keeps our eyes and brain active.

One thing that is recommended is to invest in a blue lightfilter for your laptop or other device. As
the name suggests this helps to
filter out blue light and protect your eyes.

Other Hints and Tips
There are different ways that we can protect our health when
it comes to using computers and electronic devices. For starters having a break
away from the screen is highly recommended. Not only does this give your eyes a
break from staring at the screen but if you get up and have a walk around the
office you’ll do your body the world of good too! Have you ever felt really
stiff standing up after being sat for so long? A break way from your device and
a quick walk around will prevent this!

A Real Engagement
Despite being an eternal spinster, I do love a good
engagement story! I love people that have put effort into the proposal and/or
announcement. In fact, I often find
myself losing hours on YouTube watching proposal videos – we’ve all done that
right? If I get into watching some of the clever first dance videos that people
create I lose even more time! So when I was invited to check out 77 Diamonds I knew I would
have a lot of fun window shopping! And when I read their celebrity trend data,
I was not disappointed!

Getting Engaged
As ever, your engagement and subsequent wedding is a very
personal affair. For me, it isn’t ever about how much money you have to spend
but instead ensuring that it is exactly what you want and that you’re
completely in love. There are loads of ways that you can create the ultimate
engagement and wedding day to your exact budget, so never put off getting
engaged until the time is right for finances – This is something special and
should be cherished!

Celebrity Engagement Trends
Of course you’ll always see celebrity engagements and
massive sparkling rings to celebrate their coupling, but we don’t always notice
that there are different trends that can have an effect on what we buy. We know
that celebrities and social media have a lasting effect on what we spend our

on and when it comes to engagement and wedding rings, there is no exception.
A few years ago you’d have seen platinum rings everywhere, as this is what celebrities were wearing. Since then we have seen white gold soar in popularity throughout 2016 and yellow gold has been the must have this year because of Meghan Markle’s 3-stone ring. One trend that seems to out-last them all is white diamonds which have been just as popular this year as they have previously.
Getting Engaged
You might not notice it but even when and how we get engaged
can be affected by celebrity trends. We see celebrities host big extravagant
engagements, whisking their significant others off to luxurious locations
and we’re tempted to do the same.

We tend to see lots of people get engaged during the summer
and of course over the Christmas holidays – perhaps your own engagement is soon
approaching and you just don’t know it yet?

Spreading the News
Over recent years we have seen celebrities take charge and
announce their own engagement rather than through official press releases. We
have seen some really funny and clever announcements created purely for
platforms such as Instagram and this has made the rest of the world want to
follow suit.

Of course, as much as celebrity engagements are fascinating
– when you consider that they spend an average of over £450k on a ring, it
might be worth looking at your own needs and coming up with something that
makes you happy – after all, we don’t all have that Hollywood
budget!

Shopping The Yours Clothing Sale: Scarlett and Jo
Shopping The Yours Clothing Sale – If there are two things I love it’s shopping and a sale. Combine this with Yours Clothing and Scarlett and Jo and you’re on to a winner. I have to be honest, I always forget that Yours Clothing stock some of my favourite brands but the fact that they now do Scarlett and Jo, Hell Bunny and Lady Voluptuous is a massive bonus point for me.

Another Lady V London Dress
For my birthday last month I was lucky enough to be given a new Lady V London dress by my friends. They know that I love the Phoebe dress so they splashed out and bought me this Teddy Soldier print one and I love it. I personally love the shape of the Phoebe dress and I now have a couple of prints in the same shape. One of my favourite things about this dress is that it has a built in petticoat, which gives the skirt a nice lift and a beautiful shape.

Home Lust List: Roof Windows
Home Lust List: Roof Windows – As I am sure most of you know by now, I currently live in a house share in Birmingham. I planned to live here for a couple of months butit’s actually worked out really well and I have now been here a year. That said, I can’t see myself living in a house share forever, so in 2018 I will more than likely start to look for my own place.
