As if it's taken over a week of cheesy December goodness for me to share the Friends advent calendar I bought myself back in August. . I'll never not love a nice chocolate advent calendar but all the alternative ones like this & the candle ones & the tea ones make me almost happy to be in the festive season (...even though I will never not hate the season's dark mornings & forced Christmas togetherness)! . What advent calendar have you got this year? And don't tell me you're too old for them - this 31 year old Grinch even has a work advent calendar on her desk. #adventcalendar #friendsfest #alternativechristmas #chocolatelover #bahhumbug #mrsgrinch #seasonalaffectivedisorder #instagood #bloggersdiaries #weblognorth #30plusblogs #liveunscripted #thatauthenticfeeling #littlestoriesofmylife #thecaptionclub #chattycaptionclub #blogandbeyond #livethelittlethings #incolourfulcompany #hellogiggles #dailydoseofwhimsey #thisdelightfullife #prettylittleinspo #stillswithstories #simplethingsmadebeautiful #thelifestylecollective #funaticoftheweek #myfunkostory #funkocommunity #nothingisordinary (Some of our @funkopopsuk collection purchased from my favourites @empukofficial & @popinabox_uk)
Day Nine of #merrybragmas over with @the88andfriends is for the 15 minutes of fame we've all had in 2019 (because even that moment your boss recognises your work & praises it in a manager's meeting is still a brag worthy moment of fame!). I usually live vicariously through my wrestlerman & his international jet setting/TV appearances/fan following but I had my own experience of being more than just "Crater's wife" or "her with the piercings" when the beautiful @the_girl_with_the_alien_eyes recognised @kayleighann88 at @curvefashionfes last month as The 88 & Friends! Naturally, it was lovely to meet her & overall a heartwarming day on all levels, but to have our work in the self love & body acceptance communities recognised felt so validating & really melted my soppy lil heart. Fame isn't about being recognised physically but being recognised for the things you've said & done & the ways you've made people feel & think. Now it's your turn - I wanna hear all about your 15 minutes of fame! #daynine #15minutesoffame #fame #validation #recognised #whatitmeanstome #howtheymakeyoufeel #morethanawife #tcff19 #photochallenge #endofyear #humblebrag #instavsreality #keepitreal #livethelittlethings #livemoremagic #littlestoriesofmylife #thisismycommunity #selflovecommunity #bopocommunity #thesehappysquares #positivevibesonly #chattycaptionclub #lifestyleinspo #pma #twofatladies #the88andfriends
If my Top Nine is anything to go by, my 2019 has been all about positivity, pin up, puggles, (Central) Perk & Popsy dresses. I've done more with my year than smiling at a mirror - dealing with my diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea, getting @the88andfriends off the ground & watching my husband smashing it on TV, for example! - but I'm totally not mad about that. I've loved myself this year &, if anything, I think all of this is testament to the fact that @popsyclothing should do some sort of collaboration with me in 2020 for all the money I've spent/publicity I've given this year, am I right? 😉 #topnine #2019 #popsypretty #pugglesofinstagram #pinuplife #centralperk #selfiegram #instagood #bloggersdiaries #weblognorth #30plusblogs #thatauthenticfeeling #littlestoriesofmylife #thesehappysquares #thecaptionclub #chattycaptionclub #pursuewhatislovely #psootd #plussizebloggers #visiblyplussize #affordablestyle #beautybeyondsize #andigetdressed #livethelittlethings #incolourfulcompany #dailydoseofwhimsey #thisdelightfullife #stillswithstories #myeverydaymagic #simplethingsmadebeautiful (Other brands featured in my Top Nine: @snagtights @sheincurve @yoursclothinguk @hellbunnyofficial @altstudiouk @ivyrosestudio @curvefashionfes @katysars)
Day Eight of @the88andfriends #merrybragmas challenge - a month long excuse to brag about all we've achieved in 2019 - is about pets, & we all know how proud a pugglemum I am of my pugglebum, Betsy! It's so cliche & a bit cringe to say she's my best friend but this barrel shaped beagle cross is the most intelligent, affectionate, entertaining, intuitive light of my life. She brings smiles & puggle snuggles (& an embarrassing layer of dog hair - sorry not sorry!) to everyone she meets & I hope this video of her wiggly bum enjoying a christmas toy will make you all smile too. Happy Sunday from Betsy & me. What have you got planned today? #dayeight #pets #teamdog #womansbestfriend #motheranddaughter #petstagram #pugXbeagle #photochallenge #endofyear #humblebrag #littlestoriesofmylife #thesehappysquares #chattycaptionclub #happysunday #mymonthofsundays #christmasvibes #christmastoys #instamood #thatauthenticfeeling #pursuewhatislovely #livethelittlethings #bloggersdiaries #theuncoolclub #cosylife #insearchofjoy #thisdelightfullife #momentslikethese #myeverydaymagic #simplethingsmadebeautiful
(Another belated) Day Six (because I went to bed crazy early after work last night) of @the88andfriends #merrybragmas photo round up is a brag about our To Do list. My lists are made as fun as possible through the use of cute stationery, like my trusty handmade @lewislouisauk planner cover & Disney notebooks, & I always find writing them so therapeutic. The carrying out of the tasks to do is never much fun but that feeling of fulfilment I get ticking every one of those items off is definitely worth a brag. This week's To Do list has been a whole load of budget planned adulting - needs must & all that jazz! What have you ticked off your list this week? #daysix #todolist #budgetplanning #debtfreeliving #therapeutic #adulting #whathaveyoudonetodaytomakeyoufeelproud #stationerylover #ludori #planneraddict #disneyeverything #photochallenge #endofyear #humblebrag #bragworthy #instavsreality #keepitreal #shoutitfromtherooftops #livethelittlethings #thatauthenthicfeeling #littlestoriesofmylife #selflovecommunity #thesehappysquares #positivevibesonly #chattycaptionclub #lifestyleinspo #pma #the88andfriends #theunseasonedwag
Day Five of #merrybragmas with @the88andfriends is a brag about Christmas, which might sound a tough one to be brag worthy if we're not surrounded by family & gifts but it's totally not - even a big ol' bah humbug like me can boast something about what Christmas is to me! I always disliked this time of year as a young adult because of the family & gift situation but in my later years, along with my husband, I've reimagined Christmas & turned it into something we own with our own non-traditional festive traditions. We don't really do decorations or gatherings but my favourite new part of our Mrs & Mr Crater Christmas is our annual Choccywoccydoodah cake. There is literally no better Christmas day pudding than their cakes & they are everything to brag about! What is your favourite festive dessert? #dayfive #christmas #itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas #bahhumbug #whatitmeanstome #christmastraditions #traditionallyuntraditional #letthemeatcake #choccywoccydoodah #mrandmrs #ownit #photochallenge #endofyear #humblebrag #instavsreality #keepitreal #livethelittlethings #livemoremagic #littlestoriesofmylife #thisismycommunity #selflovecommunity #thesehappysquares #positivevibesonly #chattycaptionclub #lifestyleinspo #happydecember #christmasvibes #pma
My (slightly belated) Day Four of @the88andfriends #merrybragmas is for our bodies. I'm not in the greatest place at the moment in terms of bopo & body confidence but that doesn't mean I don't love my body. Even after all my health issues - fibromyalgia, obstructive sleep apnoea, depression, endometriosis, allergies - it still stands strong every day (& please note that this is a photo from months ago - I'm all good now, thank you!). We don't have to feel beautiful to love our bodies... Though we clearly are all still beautiful inside & out! What is your body brag for 2019? #dayfour #body #ilovemybody #bopo #bodyconfidence #selflovejourney #beautyismorethanskindeep #morethanmydiagnosis #physicalhealth #depression #obstructivesleepapnoea #fibromyalgia #endometriosis #allergytest #thankyounhs #imstillstanding #gratitudeattitude #photochallenge #endofyear #humblebrag #selfiegram #keepitreal #livethelittlethings #littlestoriesofmylife #thisismycommunity #selflovecommunity #positivevibesonly #chattycaptionclub #lifestyleinspo
This lucky Boyzone fan who has loved her favourite five Irish boyz from their first tour to their last has THE best friends ever. They've only gone & booked the three of us a girls trip to Dublin for my birthday! I don't know what I've done to deserve having a @kayleighann88 & a @danielle__blu in my life but I'm so ridiculously grateful. That pair of tits are just the loveliest ladies - big public Insta thanks to you both. Now, am I the luckiest or am I the luckiest or what!? #bestfriends #girlsontour #dublintrip #whathaveidonetodeserveyou #gratitudeattitude #plussizetravel #boyzonefan #boyzonemerch #irishlife #instamood #thatauthenticfeeling #thesehappysquares #pursuewhatislovely #livethelittlethings #prettylittleinspo #beautifulinsimplicity #stillswithstories #simplethingsmadebeautiful #bloggersdiaries #liveunscripted #livemoremagic #littlestoriesofmylife #nothingisordinary #lifestyleinspo #plussizebloggers #cosylife #insearchofjoy #thisdelightfullife #momentslikethese #myeverydaymagic #simplethingsmadebeautiful
Day Three (only a tiny bit late!) of #merrybragmas with @the88andfriends is in homage of our 2019 fashion, & brag about my style is that I don't have one! When it comes to fashion I'm a little bit of everything & not much of anything & I can lend myself to any style, outfit, era or occasion. I love having the choice of what to wear depending on how the day takes me. Sometimes I love nothing more than unashamedly rocking my husband's merch (forever loving my Crater tee!), while other days I'm dolled up to the nines & loving every second of it.
