The Wedding Update

It’s just under 6 months until my big day, and I’ve spent a good two years planning it to make it into my dream wedding. As you know, from my wedding diaries series there have been endless decisions that I’ve needed to make, so I thought with my big day fast tracking ahead I would write up a little wedding update. Admittedly, and I’m sure many soon to be brides or married brides will relate to this, it has been stressful. There have been so many people questioning what there is to be stressed about, my other half also falls into this category. Obviously they just don’t get it. For most grooms it’s a case of just leave it to the bride and just turn up. I’ve got to give him some credit for this though, my fiancé has helped me quite a bit with the planning side of things.…

Spotify Playlist ; Couch to 5k

Another week and another spotify playlist. For anyone who has been following The Life Of Vanisha you will know I’ve been on a fitness journey recently, and that’s not just to my impending wedding, but just as a lifestyle change. Spotify is an app I’ve had on my phone for so long now, and much preferred to using my iPod – which is actually now broken (boo! RIP iPod). I’ve started working my way through the couch to 5k workout, as I felt I was just running on the treadmill with no real goal. To me,there’s no point in trying to improve your fitness if you don’t have goals in place. So, I got my act together and made a plan for myself. Obviously you can’t get through a workout plan without some great music!

Will You Be My Bridesmaid

It can sometimes be difficult to narrow down a few of your good, best, and old friends down to who you want to be a part of your bridal party. Narrowing down a few friends as bridesmaids can sometimes be difficult, but asking someone the question of “will you be my bridesmaid” needs to be a special moment completed in a special way. Obviously, there are the normal ways of asking someone to be your bridesmaid, but for those of us who want to ask someone in an original and heartfelt way websites like Etsy is your answer. I’ve been trawling Etsy for a good few months now, as I wanted to ask my own bridal party in a special way as opposed to outright asking them the question. With my wedding exactly 6 months away (eek that’s come by quickly!!), I’ve needed to make the final plans to the wedding to make it…

Shower Favourites – Molton Brown Body Wash

Whenever I think of Molton Brown Body Wash gels I always think of luxury. Molton Brown itself is a high end brand, which have expertly been advertised within department stores in exclusive booths. They ooze exotic and rare ingredients, which have been blended together with care and skill. A unisex brand, Molton Brown Body Wash gels aren’t just for us women, they cater for men too – with specialist ranges for both men and women. Being awarded the Leaping Bunny logo, this itself unifies the sophisticate of the brand and solidifies it’s popularity as a brand that has never tested on animals. I’ve had my eye on treating myself to some Molton Brown Body Wash gels ever since I saw them ever so neatly displayed within John Lewis. Albeit I picked up the Christmas travel set, but it was a great way to test out all the shower gels within the range, whether they…
