On my birthday, I claimed a lovely and very generous goody bag (value of all items combined was over £100 and let me tell you, that bag was HEFTY!) from Carnaby Street and Sister. I have said this before, but thank you again, Carnaby Street and Sister! Mucho appreciated!

I loved every single item in the perfectly amazing goody bag. Unfortunately, as with all great loot bags, you find yourself unable to use EVERYTHING. One of the fabulous freebies is the now unavailable Avon Pink Otterbox iPhone5 Commuter series case. I am currently using an Incase Slider case (the colour, which is a delicious shade of blue, is called Skydiver Soft! Sounds terribly cool huh? Unlike geeky me, I assure you!) which has proved to be very effective (I am very clumsy with my phone and the Incase Slider case has protected all my iPhones — so far, knock on wood — from the damage that I inflict on it!) so I don’t really have a need for the Otterbox case.

It is my intention to run a giveaway on the blog soon to find a worthy home for the phone case. The case has never been used and is still in it’s packaging. So if you want an Otterbox commuter series iPhone5 case (in Avon Pink!) for your iPhone5 (or iPhone5s) watch this space!

…of not being able to blog!

It frustrates me that I haven’t been able to devote any time at all to blogging of late. I seem to always be apologising to everyone and no one for not being able to write anything. But sometimes I wonder, are you listening out there…anyone?

I am sitting in my front room guiltily typing out words while I am off sick from work. I’ve had what seems to be a throat infection for a few days now. My throat still hurts like heck, even after a 3-day course of antibiotics. I have had tonsillitis since moving to the UK but not quite this bad. I’ve had to take one day off but that was mostly to make sure I rested. I took most of Thursday and all of Friday off sick and yet I still find myself without energy. I’m hoping to get another doctor’s appointment so that I can be checked to see if this isn’t anything more than a throat infection (I am listening to the doctors’ surgery hold music as I type!).

But to go back to my blogging issue, as with everything in my life, I think I need to just sit down and be devoted to it. I used to be. When I started blogging I used to be vigilant, I used to blog nearly everyday. And not too long ago, I managed to post one entry a day! The excuse that work is more involved does not fly because I used to blog even when I was terribly busy! I guess the difference is that, now, I can’t blog at work.

I really need to devote myself to this. I am going to embark in another blog revamp and I think that’s what’s the most daunting for me. I want to make sure my blog entries are more focused and that my blog is a bit more of what I want it to look like! I’m seriously considering getting my own domain and seriously committing myself to writing more and writing better blog entries!

What say you dear reader? I would love to hear your thoughts!
