Life Lately // Best Friends, Cocktails and Puppies
18:19
It has been awhile since I a posted a 'life lately' update, so today this is what I plan to do. Quite a fair bit has happened over on the land of coconuts since I my last life snippet post. From me joining the gym (yes me), a best friend visiting, puppies everywhere and me and James moving yet again to another part of the Island. Ok that might not seem as eventful as you might of assumed but believe me to me and my beachin' self I was rushed off my feet. Aha I think I may have forgotten what hard work is.. Here are just a few of my favourite photo snips from the last few months.
Had the best two weeks ever when my gorgeous friend Sam came to visit, I did not realise how much I missed my girlfriends and girl time until she was here. We spent the whole 14 days laughing, singing, dancing and just being completely loons which we are best at aha. It was an emotional goodbye, but we made some of the best memories.
If you follow me on Instagram then you probably would of seen these two photos, plus a trillion more. I was not always a dog person (as I have only ever had cats) but ever since my mum bought little Bella into the family and I guess living with James and his doggies for awhile I have become a sucker for all furry four legged friends. I'm obsessed and am really wanting a puppy of my own (possible future goals when I'm home) so you can imagine my excitement and joy when the owner of our guesthouse has a litter of 9 fluffy white puppies. Honestly if I could I would of brought every single one of them to take home with me, just look at the cuteness and yes I lapped up my daily dose of puppy cuddles EVERYDAY!
Back to the beginning of October me and James celebrated our 6 year anniversary together and Thailand being the perfect place for us to reflect on how far we have come both individually and in our relationship. Anyone who is or has been in a long term relationship you'll all know that there are times when things get tough, but pushing through whatever situation it might be and coming out even closer and stronger than ever before, just proves that it is a relationship worth fighting for. I'm so grateful to have James in my life and yes we have had shit times but getting through them together and becoming closer just makes all those times worth the upset. We are having the time our lives out here together and I am so over the moon that I get to experience this way of life with my love. (Ok sorry I was not expecting the soppy-ness, I'll shut up now)
We have just moved to Choeng Mon which is a quieter part of Koh Samui Island. After being in Chaweng for so long we felt like it was time for a change of scenery and atmosphere, even though I loved Chaweng with its busy night life and frequent markets. Choeng Mon is a lot more peaceful and we have found a cheap enough place to stay that includes a pool, beach and gym so we have lots to keep us busy (however I miss the puppies), Chaweng is only 10 minutes away via tuk tuk so we can enjoy the best of both worlds.
Last but not least introducing blonde me. Maybe a little dramatic I know (my dad thinks I have lost the plot, maybe I have) but after wanting to go lighter with my hair for so long I decided to take the plunge and I didn't go softly either. So here I am with my almost white locks and I love it, at first maybe a little shocked but a couple of days to adjust I am so glad I took the risk. Despite my hair being completely destroyed from the bleach (although it was in terrible condition before hand) I have no regrets what so ever and I'm so excited to live out my next chapter as a blondie. Ooo I might even go Lilac or Pink or Blue the possibilities are endless hehee.
