Black Friday any good? Save some money!

Did you manage to find anything that you’ve been looking for? I actually bought a dining table lamp at 25% discount. And it was actually a proper discount- not really 25% though. It’s quite interesting how you really need to keep checking and monitor. It’s almost like a competition and a sport?! Is the product truly on sale? I followed this particular lamp for some time and lo and behold, it was actually on sale the week before (15%), then it went back to its original price last Monday. Then on Thursday last week it was actually advertised at 25% less. Now it’s actually the time to buy summer clothes and shoes! I love Birkenstock and I’ve found a pair that’s currently at 50% sale. That’s how I like to shop more and more. Think seasons ahead and what you truly need (if that’s truly “need” is debatable but I think you know what I mean). And really… I guess you should plan Christmas gifts all year round and buy when there is a sale on. That’s why I love these “wishlists” and baskets that you can create on different sites. If I was clever enough I’d actually build an App where all of this could be stored including websites, prices and changes so that you could easily track and ideally it would send you an email or notify you when it’s at a price that you agree to. A bit like buying and selling shares! Perhaps there already is an App such as this out there. Do you know? I need to do some research here I think! Imagine to be so organised and structured and save some £€$ on top of it all. A win-win! I really recommend!

Sunday already?! This week’s challenge…

The days go faster right now. Or, is that even possible? Is time a constant? What do you think? Why is it that sometimes a day can feel extremely long but other times there are just not enough hours in a day. Strange questions perhaps but I like to entertain my thoughts at times! I know I’m not checking in as much as I’d like right now- I almost want to apologise but to do that feels a bit odd. I haven’t forgotten about this blog nor about you readers who pop in and leave your marks. Not at all. Life at times is just like being a race driver and sometimes more like Daisy Duck. Another strange analogy perhaps.

I’d like for this week’s challenge to be determination. I do think that we all have certain goals in life, things that we want to achieve and accomplish. This week I want you to be so focused and determined that nothing will get you out of balance or out of sync. Think success, accomplishments and feel this all the way from your gut! You can do whatever you set your mind to. Have that difficult conversation, make that public speech, sign up to that run, join the gym, try that difficult class, cook that complicated dish. Don’t let anyone or anything stop. Ignore any negative internal thoughts or external comments. If something tough and unfair happens to you this week, really try and see the positive in it instead. I know this will be challenging but I believe that you can overcome a lot by really focusing and be so determined that nothing truly can stop you. Just go for it- reach for the stars and be determined! I truly recommend.

Happy Thursday! Blogging and Black Friday check in

Days are truly flying past this week. I actually started this post saying happy Wednesday…

How is the “support your bloggers” going? I read and come across so many it’s quite incredible. I recall my first real communication on my blog with D Wallace Peach she really opened my eyes to the socialising aspect when you blog. To comment and to take the time to invest in this. I find that this blogging really is that. The community and the socialising. What a journey. I’ve actually bought one of her books that I intend to read over the festive periods here: Soul Swallowers. I’m very much looking forward to reading it!

Have anyone of you prepared any lists in preparation for Black Friday? Quite interesting to follow price developments and price settings. All I can say is that they fluctuate so do your research properly!

Have the most amazing of Thursdays! Enjoy… I truly recommend!!!

Beautiful nature and more great bloggers!

Sharing pictures that nature offered this morning. We have a northern wind now. It’s nipping and tugging your cheeks. Snow is in the air. I hope this year , we get tons of it! I love it. Especially the white soft fluffy type that truly brightens up the longer darker days. The seasons amazes me. I’m so happy to get to experience them!

Another blogger I’ve been following since I started is Renard’s world. Please have a read through his posts. Thoughtful and full of great advice. I recall the first comments I received were from this blogger. The marks we leave on each other’s sites really make a difference. Don’t forget. Take the time out today to read a few posts, like and comment. You know it makes sense. I truly recommend.
