Lateness

L is for Lateness. 


This is yet another relationship post, but I know ya'll love them! ;) 

So we all have these not-so-good qualities about us but we get so used to doing them habitually that they don't seem that bad. 

Well mine was lateness. 

See, you may read that and think "well that's not that bad" but you see when you're in a relationship with someone who is ALWAYS punctual come rain or shine, no matter the day or time, it becomes a slight issue. 


See Dwayne is the King of Punctuality and my inability to be on time for anything would deep down really frustrate him, probably a lot more than he admitted to me. Whilst being late never bothered me, I knew it bothered him and so I became intentional about being on time. I would purposely leave my house extra early when we was meeting up so that I would actually arrive before him on some occasions. This habit then extended to my personal life - away from meeting up with him.  I set my alarm extra early in the mornings so I would get to my lectures with time to spare. Now I absolutely hate being late with a fiery passion and I've even had people comment upon my punctuality!  

Okay, so that was my little story and everyone's will be different. Please hear me out, I'm by no means advocating the fact that we should change our personalities to be what are partners want us to be. Your partner should love you for who you are currently but over time your relationship should change you both for the better. What I'm saying is that there's small things that we can change about ourselves, that actually better us as well as being a characteristic that is more appealing to our partners. 

You reap what you sow.

Be intentional.

Keepers

I have been featured in this blog a couple times, but for those who don't know me my name is Dwayne Edwards. I'm 25 and a lover of gadgets, games, Basketball and most things Japanese.
For a while Tasha has been asking me to guest blog, perplexed by what I would write I found the thought daunting, often putting it off for as long as I could. But after a moment of inspiration, and following suit of Tasha's blog challenge, I have decided for the letter "K" I will blog about *Drum roll* Keepers.

Jaw-Dropping Scandal



Okay.. this post is a bit of cop-out! 

I had this whole plan in my head that I was going to watch the NEW episode of Scandal (S4E1) on thursday night and then write a whole post on how Jaw-Dropping it was. Which inevitably it's going to be as this is Scandal we're talking about. 

But, after an extremely busy day on Friday preparing for my little sisters birthday (which is today, September 27th) I completely missed the day and still haven't watch the episode yet. :O

Soo, bare with me Gladiators i'm going to watch it ASAP and write a Jaw-Dropping Scandal Part 2 post very soon!!

 On the plus side the K post is coming up in the next 10 minutes and it's a very special one!

High Heels

I don't have a massive collection of heels, i'm more of a trainers kind of girl. 


However, this has led me to have a small refined collection of heels that I really love. 



So, for my H for High Heels post I will be showing you some of my favourites pairs of shoes and the little stories they have behind them.

This post is for all the young drivers out there! 


So, you pass your driving test at 17 but the excitement of it all is quickly killed by the outlandish insurance quotes your getting?

Beauty

B is for Beauty. 

I know I spoke about it in yesterdays post, but this one will be slightly different. Whilst getting ready for work this afternoon I decided that It would be nice to share with you some of the beauty products that I use and as it fitted with the letter B it was a perfect idea for todays post. 

I remember going to Superdrug in my mid teens and looking at the vast array of foundations, mascaras, lipsticks, and all the rest and thinking "where do I even begin!?"

Now, I don't wear much make-up, hardly any compared to some of the tutorials I've come across on YouTube but here I go anyway...

America's Next Top Model

Day 1
It has begun! 

I had to dedicate this post to one of my favourite shows. I don't watch a lot of television but I never miss an episode of Americas Next Top Model (thanks to the series link I have on my Tivo box of course!) 

I just wish it was more popular here in the UK!

A Personal Challenge

I started blogging around 2 months ago and I must say I have grown to really enjoy writing about and sharing my thoughts and experiences with anyone who wants to listen (or should I say read) Ha! 

I was laying in bed the other night and I thought to myself "I really want to make blogging more of habit" and so searched the Internet for any blogger challenges that I could participate it. My search returned unsuccessful and thus lead to me to think "why do I need to participate in a certain challenge when I can just do my own personal one"

So here I am starting my own personal challenge. 

I'm vowing to blog every day for the next 26 days starting tomorrow.

In addition to this I aim to blog thematically with my first post based on something to do with the letter A, whilst the second the letter B and so on. 


If you'd like to follow my challenge then please follow me on BlogLovin to keep up to date on my latest post! 

P.s. I am aware that there is a Blogging A to Z April Challenge that runs during the month of April but since I didn't want to wait that long I decided to start my personal challenge straight away. I'm deffo in love with the idea!

Heart Of Gaming

I'm not a massive gamer (probably just because I suck at them) but Dwayne is and so a few weekends ago we visited The Heart of Gaming. Dwayne had come across it whilst researching some of the best arcades in London & so he thought "might as well give it a try".
