Why does it feel January lasts the longest time, well although I’ve had quite a great month, a few birthdays and even a surprise visit. I have loved this fresh month of a new year, for some reason I have definitely got a different mindset this year. Positivity and productivity are a couple of my focuses this year. I feel this month has been a great start to these. I wanted to reflect on my month and share my highlights with you.
My littlest sister turned 13
Cannot believe how fast time flies
My second mri
This seems like it would be a very weird thing to have as a positive highlight. However, having had my accident at work nearly 2 years ago, I am still needing treatment, which then has put my compensation settlement on hold also. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end.
What is one highlight from this month for you? I’d love to hear in the comments.
Love this post!! My highlight would be going to Wagamamas for the first time and having a vegan meal there. I’m doing Veganuary and it’s the first place I’ve been to that hasn’t acted like it’s a hassle. It was soo delicious too.
How’s Veganuary been? Have you found it difficult?
It’s been really good thanks, not too difficult just making sure I’m getting the right amount of everything can be a bit tricky if you know what I mean. Overall feeling 100x better though!
That’s good, I want to try being a veggie and see how I feel, as I have heard a lot of positive experiences about health and mind c
I definitely noticed a change in my mental health and so did my boyfriend, he said I’ve been much happier since going vegan. If you try change one meal a week and then gradually increase it and see how you feel. It doesn’t have to be instant, take your time and you’ll enjoy the journey of it. x
That’s great, that there has been a positive change. Thank you for your tips! Xx

I can’t believe we’re at the end of January already. If January has gone this quick, I dread to think how quick the rest of the year is going to go! Looks like you had a fab January – I’m in Essex! Glad you had a nice time <3

I did! Oh really? That’s so cool! You lived there all your life? Thank you for reading and commenting! I hope you’ve had a good January ❤️
It sounds like you have had a great month Lauren! Oh my goodness, a Spice Girls tribute concert sounds like so much fun! I was such a fan of the Spice Girls when I was younger, I can probably remember all the lyrics still, ha ha! Dinner and cocktails with a friend sounds so lovely! I’m glad you had a nice time 🙂 That’s great news about your MRI Scan, hopefully everything works out well with that. Thank you for sharing, hope you have an awesome February! <3 xxx

Thank you so much, I am off for it today, so fingers crossed 🤞🏻. I am in a lot of pain today unfortunately 😕. Yeah it was a great night, I definitely remembered the lyrics!! 😂🙈. Thank you for reading and commenting! I hope you’ve had a fabulous January ❤️xxxx
Sounds like you’ve had a great January! It’s always bittersweet when your younger siblings grow up, we want them to stay young for as long as possible, don’t we? My youngest sister is turning sixteen this year and I can’t quite believe it because it feels like she’s only just been born! I hate to see her all grown up and wearing makeup (better than me) and talking about boys, haha.

I know, it goes so fast and you want them to grow up so you can do different things with them, but you loved it when they were little too 🙈. Yes, my little sister is experimenting with make up too, oh the boys thing! I do not like haha 😂xxx
Sounds like a great month, especially your chance to surprise your family members and spend some quality time with them! I can only imagine how much fun you had. I live a 6-7 hour drive from most of my family and I LOVE making the trip up!

Aww that’s good! Thank you I have!
SPICE GIRLS TRIBUTE CONCERT!!!! AHHHH I am so jealous!!!
It was great!
oh I bet!! that’s so neat!
Your surprise family trip sounds so lovely! January feels like such a weird one this year, I don’t feel like it has dragged that much but Christmas still feels like a million years ago. I hope your MRI results make some progress with your claim! x
