Life of Lia Update


Hey Earthbugs,

For what feels like the billionth time I have returned from an impromptu break from blogging that I definitely wasn’t planning or wanted but it happened. During this break I have thought a lot about ideas for blog posts, some of which are nestled away in my mind and some that floated away, and I’ve been really motivated to do them but I haven’t had the chance to sit down properly (as I am now, tucked up cosy, in my bed, in my Christmas pyjamas) and if you’ve been around for my other blog breaks you’ll know that I’m not one for writing a post really quickly and half-heartedly and posting it and I didn’t want to start now. Hence, the absence. However, I would like to say a huge thank you to the love and support I received as a result of the last post I did which was the Domestic Violence awareness one, it was a huge thing for me to publish and I’m very glad I did. So, thank you!

Right, so now that’s all out the way. Welcome back! Let’s sit down and have a cuppa over the ramble-y update about my life, my plans for my blog, anything in general. I feel like my blog break came at quite an apt time if I’m being honest, because I haven’t really been feeling like “Lia” and I know that sounds completely bonkers and I can’t really explain it myself. But, I feel like I’ve been plodding on and on through the past couple of months and it’s been a bit of a blur and in the past couple of days I’ve got my creativity mojo back and inspiration for different projects and just general positivity around myself. I’m not sure why this blip happened in the life of Lia but hey, we’re back now.

If you're new then here's my face 


Exciting news! I’m now a member of the Unlimited club thing at Cineworld so for £17.90 a month (I believe) I can go to the cinema as many times as I like which I think is pretty cool as I love going to the cinema. My temporary pass had it’s first use on Sunday (I printed all the paperwork out to be organised as my actual card hasn’t arrived yet, and they didn’t ask for it…typical. I was also really excited to go “OH YES…here it is!” like when I just turned 18 and first got asked for ID) when Jack and myself went to see Bohemian Rhapsody, which was amazing. I cried a lot, not a surprise as I cry at everything and thankfully the darkness of the cinema does hide it, but when it goes quiet there was just me sniffling and making that awful crying noise, the one that I don’t really know how to type.

University still stresses me out. Majorly. Like on a different level. The best way I can describe it would be as though you are a clumsy person (myself) walking on hot stones, whilst trying to run away from a bear, and if you fall off the stones you land in lava and even if you get to the other end of the stones there’s dragons ready to eat you and scratch your eyeballs out. But there is nice cake there. That I spend too much money on. And then feel guilty for eating after I deemed that day as “the day I start eating healthily”. One day.

OOH! Exciting news! Well, I think it’s exciting news! I’m going to be doing some form of Blogmas this year again, not everyday and I’m trying not to repeat previous ideas but there will definitely be some form of festive cheer here at That Girl with that Blog! I think I must be mad as I don’t really seem to have time to breathe never mind fit more in but hey ho.

Thank you for sticking with me and if you’re a newbie then welcome to the not-so-clubby club that is not a club but anyway.

I think you’re all wonderful baked beans and welcome back to the weird life updates of Lia!

All my love,

Lia x

Phrases I Hate

Hey Earthlings! We all have those phrases or quotes or sometimes just words that when we hear them it makes our blood boil and our neck do that funny thing where you kind of go "bleurghuohui". You know what I mean? I've taken a few of them, listed them here and told you exactly why I hate them. Let me know if there's some more you hate. "There's someone out there worse off than you" Yes, this may be the case and I hope they come out of their situation feeling all the joys of spring but just because there is someone out there with more issues than you're feeling, it does not mean your experiences and feelings are invalid. If you are trying to comfort someone and make them feel better about their situation in what way is, "ah well don't worry, Tina down the road is way worse off than you are" going to make them feel better? EXACTLY. It won't. End of, let's just entirely blow this phrase away. "Respect your elders"...

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Hello Earthbugs! I'm back and hopefully this upcoming year will be a lot better post wise than 2018, if I tell you the truth I don't really know what happened. Quite a few times during 2018 I felt all out of sorts and not really motivated to do anything, which for me is horrible because I thrive off having a goal to get and so on. Writing has always been a passion of mine and my blog allows me to have my own little space on the internet which I have always loved the idea of so 2019 is definitely the year that I attempt to throw myself back into blogging. I hope you're happy to come along on that journey with me! I decided to combine the goodbye 2018 post and hello 2019 post instead of doing separate posts this time, so feel free to grab yourself a cup of tea or something stronger if you like and let's go. 2018. I think I can safely say that 2018 hasn't been the year for my family, we have gone through a lot of battles and hard times and somehow come out of t...

Doris goes to see Captain Marvel | FILM REVIEW

Hello dearies!  I hear the new film that's 'hot on the block' recently is this Captain Marvel one, and little old Doris does like to be hip, trendy and down with the kids *throws the equivalent of a swagger sign* so decided to hop on the bandwagon and go along, booking myself in for the 12.00 (pm just to clarify) showing at the local cinema. I'm currently cutting down on the whole chocolate/cake/biscuits scene, so sneaked a small tub of Pringles into the cinema with me...I have to say, I felt like a bit of a rebel eating food that I'd bought from somewhere else whilst inside the cinema, it was an adrenaline rush! If you're wondering what flavour Pringles they were, I obviously chose the best ones aka sour cream and onion as I'm not some sort of monster.  Anyway, I did buy one of those Tango Ice thingymabobs as I hear that's too what the cool kids like to have at the cinema. I could only have cherry though as the machine wasn't working properly, t...
