Carrie, Mummy, Wifey, 30 something newbie blog. I am career driven with a passion to succeed. Shock horror, a mum wanting a career. Damn right I do! I'm a girly girl without a ton of sparkle, by that I mean I have too many bags and shoes but have a lack of glitter and twinkle in my wardrobe. I have a weakness for make up but i'm not amazing at applying it... you'll see! I like to cook but i'm no Julia Child. I do buy the odd recipe book to show willing but there is room for improvement.
Most importantly I love to read. Why is that important I hear you ask, because it was my intrigue and interest in a particular book that led me to start this blog.
My blog was born a few weeks ago, although at the time I didn't have a name for it. It was in hindsight 'baby blog'. I had been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while but always came up with some form of excuse to put it off. I'm too busy... I'll do it tomorrow...I'm too boring to write anything of interest....I'm too lazy! That's it. Then I read THE book. My 'Get off your a$$ and do something' Bible! The book in question was 'Get your sh!t together' by Ruth Field AKA The Grit Doctor.
While reading the book something just clicked. Something that had probably been lingering in the background for a while without me giving it much thought. I needed to get my sh!t together. Stop putting things off, dreading the inevitable, ignoring the difficult, saying 'no' and to bloody well crack on with it.
I was the Queen of excuses.... I need to lose weight but I've already tried 101 different diets so nothing will work, I need to get fit but I can't afford the gym, I want a role in the career I worked so hard for at uni but i'm sure a job will eventually find me, my 'hobbies' in photography and interior design.... yea i'll pick them up one day but i'm too busy right now, the list goes on. I got lost in excuses and it became the norm.
Well no more. I hate the phrase... New Year, New Me blah blah, And I wasn't putting anything off till January. If you read the book it reacquaints you with your 'Inner b!tch' (excuse the language) who is that niggling voice in your head that says stand up and do it you lazy mare! So you see there is no 'New me', I had it in me all along. I was just shrouded in excuses.
So this blog is all about me being me. Lifestyle, building my career, beauty, style and health. No more excuses, just a new and improved look on life and the elements that I enjoy. I won't say it will all be plain sailing... I haven't turned into a love crazed hippy over night, I still have my niggles and a constant battle with myself and my anxieties whether its in my role of mummy or career woman. But that's me, that's honesty and that's life! I have become humble in myself and I am quite happy being my own kind of imperfectly perfect.
I hope you enjoy my blog and I'm sure i'll continue to learn as I go.
Carrie x
