A little throwback from Whitby to celebrate Friday. Beer is in hand. Excited to spend the day in Leeds tomorrow with friends. Hurrah!

Great PT session this morning. When your PT says 10 more reps, 10 more reps you know your arms are going to be sore in the morning (or by this afternoon!). Some how managed 12 reps of 25kg on the bench press and even had a decent crack at 27.5kg, didn’t quite get that 8th rep but maybe next time! My upper body strength is such a weakness for me but hope to change this soon! . How is your Thursday going? . . . #petitejoys #everysquarestory #alifealive #thevisualscollective #liveathentic #aquietstyle #bybeautifulmess #fitinspiration #strongbody #trainmean #getfitstayfit #challengeyourbody #letsgetfit #girlswholift #gymtime #gymmotivation #gymaddict #applewatch #gymselfie #puregym (at York)

No, you came to York to get a photo of #cherryblossoms with #yorkminster in the background. Finally got a cherry blossom photo though! Very original. Treating myself to a glass of wine to celebrate as I’m not working today! I’ve had 4 full days off! This morning I went to the gym and trained back and shoulders, did some housework, sorted some content and decided to have a walk into York as it’s such a beautiful day! Naturally I fell into a bar as having wine as I upload this! . . . Bet my Monday is better than yours!

Happy Sunday everyone! It’s a bit grey here in York today! Thankfully we still have plenty of flowers around the streets to cheer us up! . . Had a fab day yesterday, but today needs to be more productive. Got lots of writing and editing to do, I also need to get to the gym to work off those fish and chips I had yesterday. Oops! Determined to have a productive day! . How are you spending your Sunday? . #thisishowihueit #littlestorieofmylife #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #inspiremyinstagram #forprettyssake #alittlebeautyeveryday #petitejoys #everysquarestory #alifealive #thevisualscollective #liveathentic #aquietstyle #bybeautifulmess (at York)

Friday Friday Friday Friday. Love it now I’m one of those wankers that can brag about having weekends off. Well, most weekends anyway. In retail it’s a rare treat and it used to annoy me so much when I saw people getting excited about the weekend. Well, take a look at me now. FRIYAYYYYY! Don’t hate me cuz your ain’t me 💁🏼‍♀️ . 6 hours of work left! Going into York tomorrow to spend my Debenhams voucher they have sent me to get an outfit for a Beyoncé and Jay-Z concert they are casually sending me to next Friday (what is my life?!?). And to get a hair cut. Sunday will be a chill out day at the computer after some exercise. . . . What are you up to this weekend? . . #untoldvisuals #tinytinymoments #awakethenight #myhandsmaking #thisprettyengland #slowlived #daysofsmallthings #thisishowihueit #littlestorieofmylife #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #inspiremyinstagram #forprettyssake #alittlebeautyeveryday #petitejoys #everysquarestory #alifealive #thevisualscollective #liveathentic #aquietstyle #bybeautifulmess (at York)

Fake pose here because my phone has an app which controls my camera shutter. Cool story bro. Anyway, when I went to Australia, my sister-in-law over there described a dress she had seen that day in the mall. ‘Black with butterflies, totally your style’ then I whipped out my phone and showed her a photo of this dress - already got it mate. Don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that people who know me know exactly what style of dresses I like! Throw back to YESTERDAY when I was loving life and drinking wine in sunny York. This morning I’ve been to the gym, been to a workshop and now have to drive back to work for the first time in 4 days. Is it Saturday yet? . Is there anything you wish you were doing today instead of working? . . . #ststyle #sscollective #destroyjeans #minimalhood #postitfortheaesthetic #ohwowyes #minimalstream #minimalculture #prettylittleinspo #instablogger #trendybags #trendylook #ootddaily #todayimwearingthis #petitejoys #everysquarestory #alifealive #thevisualscollective #liveathentic #aquietstyle #bybeautifulmess (at York)

Happy Friday everyone! Just a little throwback, erm, Friday? From when there was a pony in my back garden! Just about to drag myself to the gym then I’m going to a cocktail masterclass at @jalou_york this evening! Very excited! . What are your Friday plans? . . . #untoldvisuals #tinytinymoments #awakethenight #myhandsmaking #thisprettyengland #slowlived #daysofsmallthings #thisishowihueit #littlestorieofmylife #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #inspiremyinstagram #forprettyssake #alittlebeautyeveryday #petitejoys #everysquarestory #alifealive #thevisualscollective #liveathentic #aquietstyle #bybeautifulmess (at Meanwood Valley Urban Farm)

Suck it up, buttercup! . One of my favourite saying and something I’m saying to myself a lot today. There are often frustrations that you can’t control. Or life isn’t always fair. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and get on with it, even though you’re tempted to moan and complain. While venting our frustrations can feel like it’s making us feel better it often stops us from moving on and getting on with it. So suck it up, buttercup. There are more important things to spend time thinking about, like when am I going to have my next glass of wine? . 📸Taken on my 10k run before work yesterday, I’m a little sore at work but still managed leg day at the gym! 🏋🏼‍♀️ . Are you a complainer or do you just get on with it? . . . #inspiremyinstagram #forprettyssake #alittlebeautyeveryday #petitejoys #everysquarestory #alifealive #thevisualscollective #liveathentic #aquietstyle #bybeautifulmess #strongbody #trainmean #getfitstayfit #challengeyourbody #letsgetfit #girlswholift #gymtime #gymmotivation #gymaddict #puregym #gymselfie (at York)

Taking a rest day today from the gym after my leg session with my PT and my plans to cycle up some hills tomorrow! Would love to say I plan to relax all day listening to music, but I’m working 1pm until 10pm! #Retaillife is not the one. .

Happy Friday! Finally! It’s only been a 4 day week but it’s been a long one! It’s raining here today on #york but I feel sunny on the inside thanks to the weekend! Hit the gym at 6:30am and now working until 6 and then time to celebrate! I’m hoping to go for a 10k run tomorrow if the rain stops, then we are having drinks at some friends house on Saturday. Can’t wait! 🏋🏻‍♂️🍷 .

Listen to what your body tells you. . Yucky! Not feeling great today and basically just trying to make it through the working day. Hoping it’ll pass and I’m feeling a bit frustrated about the possibility of missing the gym tonight! Lack of sleep and a stressful few weeks at work can sometimes make me feel physically ill. Listen to your body listen to your body listen to your body is what I am trying to tell myself! It can be hard when there are so many things I want to get done but I need to remind myself to sit still for a while. Not going to use the term self-care as it’s too millennial for my liking. Always trying to resist being a basic bitch - even if I am one. . In short, I feel wank so I’m going to spend as much today sat on my arse as I can. 👍🏻💁🏼‍♀️ . #untoldvisuals #tinytinymoments #awakethenight #myhandsmaking #thisprettyengland #slowlived #daysofsmallthings #thisishowihueit #littlestorieofmylife #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #inspiremyinstagram #forprettyssake #alittlebeautyeveryday #petitejoys #everysquarestory #alifealive #thevisualscollective #liveathentic #aquietstyle #bybeautifulmess #fitinspiration #strongbody #trainmean #getfitstayfit #challengeyourbody #letsgetfit #girlswholift #millennials (at York Museum Gardens)

How adorable is this lemonade stand I found in the centre of #york on Monday? . So it’s Wednesday and I’m already counting the days down to the weekend! Hump day is the worst! Finishing work at 4pm and hoping to get to the gym before gym rush hour begins.. wish me luck! . How is your Wednesday so far? . . #untoldvisuals #tinytinymoments #awakethenight #myhandsmaking #thisprettyengland #slowlived #daysofsmallthings #shinyhappybloggers #thisishowihueit #littlestorieofmylife #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #inspiremyinstagram #forprettyssake #alittlebeautyeveryday #petitejoys #everysquarestory #alifealive #thevisualscollective #liveathentic #aquietstyle #bybeautifulmess (at York)
