A few days ago I got tagged by The Beauty Type in a 5 things post, so here goes with mine. Depending on how well we know each other & how long you've followed my blogs some of these may or may not be news to you! Come on then, let's get to know me... 1. Volunteering in my spare time... I run a Girl Guides group in a local village which I love doing. It's a lot of hard work and responsibility but very rewarding.

Aiming to get my fitness levels back up! - Downtime - phone down: Phones are the best and also the worst. I’ve started to put my phone down and I’m reading instead. Good for the soul!  - Holiday planning: Always fun in January to have something for to look forward to and plan for! - Hydrate: Drinking lots of water is working well for me to keep my hydration levels up! Plus I’m doing dry January! In preparing...

Welcome to 2019. Hello, hello. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Years! Not sure about you but I am so ready for whatever 2019 has to offer. Today I have been busy planning content for the Social Matters & Natters blog. Plus I am hoping that this year I might get my website up and running again. Exciting times ahead, maybe.  Hopefully the blog will continue to explore different areas of marketing, hot topics and trends, with a few life updates thrown in for good measure.  Here's to 2019. A great year for us all. Thank you for continuing to read Social Matters & Natters!  x Disclaimer: This blog does not reflect the thoughts and opinions of my employer.
