Your 20s are for living it up and partying likes it's 1999, health and maintaining it was never on my agenda but is it in most 20 year olds, a big fat nope!
You can eat what you want, drink what you want with no consequences, but now that I'm in my 30s I can no longer act or eat they way did in my 30s.

Regrettably having to admit, my metabolism has slowed, I've gained extra weight, which I'm trying to currently shift, but I'm finding it hard a girl likes to eat! I'm all about that cosy cheesy carb life, yesterday I made a pot of mac n cheese and I can honestly say I tore it up and taken the last bit with me to work or, so by the time you've read this I would have scoffed the lot.
As much as I love to chow down have a glass of wine after a long night, I gotta take easy, I am not getting any younger, I'm edging closer to 40 and I've got to maintain my health in my 30s to have a longer life and having to teach myself the art of life, making me feel as though I need a physics tutor.
Forever one for excuses as legitimate as they may be, such as work, single parent, pet owner, blog life, family life I, we have to stop making up excuses, the first step is always the hardest, but when you've taken that first step, no matter how big or small

Cut down on drinking
After a long day at work, Leanora in bed, I can tidy up the evening's mess and wash up the plates from dinner. I do like to soak in the bath with a glass of wine once all the chores are done. Whilst I like to have a glass most nights, it is not good for me or you, so I am cutting back and having a drink on a Friday to help me unwind I mean im not a total moron nor will I'll ever give up a nice tasty bottle of plonk, but cutting down will certainly keep me healthier and fitter for longer.
Run more
I loved nothing more, pre-parenting than running, hitting the beaten path, finding new paths and getting lost in my own thoughts, with music from http://www.cheapvinyl.co.uk and pounding out all that fatigue from the day. Regrettably i've not been able to do this as of much being a single parent, working etc... You see what I am doing, making excuses. Well no way, I will try and manage my time better now that Leanora sees her father every other weekend, I'll be taking that time to get good run in. If you have help or a partner at home, get up an hour ealier, especially that the sun rises earlier and get some fresh air into those lungs, nothing screams healthier than starting the day with a good workout, plus I also recently invested in a new bike from Bike Discount UK.
Get to bed early
In order for me to feel great especially that I wake up at crazy hours in the morning, is making sure I get a good nights rest and an early one. I make sure before I leave the office I have a little todo list so that when I come home I can use my time wisely and get organised quicker in order for me to get a good nights rest making me feel healthier and refreshed in the morning.
Invest in your skin
Now that I am older, I am trying to fight off the first signs of ageing and I am combating it with a few good investments buy beauty products. Whilst everyone's budget is different, nothing quite beats a good cleanser, serum and face cream being applied to your skin of a night, as well as hand cream, to keep hands soft and youthful.
Healthy diet
When can not fight ageing and with that comes a slower metabolism, eyes and general health can be affected. I have changed up my diet, and gone for healthier choices and eating a lot less meat and I've also incorporated into my diet oat milk, a total game changer plus changing my diet has left me feeling less bloated, therefore allowing me to slip in to some new items from Rails Clothing as well as getting myself in for my health checks ups too.
Have you changed your lifestyle for healthier options, no matter your age, what have you been doing?

As we are moving off slightly from a midsummer nights dream, in a way which I am not quite ready to let go of, but life goes on, plus I will be braving the new Autumn air with my legs out, but don't worry how cold it has been the past few days (early morning and night) I am sure it won't be for very much longer.
Red-burgundy
No, I don't mean Ron Burgundy from Anchor Man I do mean the colours, Red & Burgundy. Red is this seasons must have colour, but I like to ease into that pop of red and start with a nice burgundy, the perfect offset of between the two and delightful warm shades of red and brown, personally I think it is a shade that goes with all skin types.
Shearling jacket
I mean what is not to love, it is always a big hit and I only got involved once last year, but I got my eye on a few shearling/teddy goodies to ease myself into the colder season.
Anything Weekday
The amazing brand is totally having a moment, especially with the new store opening on Regent Street, which FYI I am heading to, kid free over the weekend to stock up on so much needed essentials! Well, that's a laugh I want it all, plus I spied online that they are currently having 20% off ALL JEANS! Yup you heard me all jeans guys!
Sweaters
You know I am totally having a sweater moment, it's a massive game changer right now, be it paired with a skirt, backless with some comfy jeans or just something to lounge around in the house in, whatever! Make it a must this pay day and peruse this vast list I created for you guys to check out and snap a few of your favourites too.
Biggin it up
Quite literally go big or go home, and seeing as I'm on the tube with two bags, I'm just gonna go home, jump on the laptop and search for a big bag! This seasons trend is a must have big bag and I'm totally all over this trend, not just because I've spotted a few good ones but, it enables me to carry everything and anything, i.e. I could probably throw Leanora in their, so miss 1 mile per hour walking tortoise can get somewhere!
Book
Before I had L, I was a major reader and I am currently on a hunt for a few good books, be it self-help, fiction or not I plan on delving and getting lost in a few this month, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Mirror
Ok, so I have been living in my home for like 2 years and I am yet to find a mirror to go in the living room! I am a woman on a mission this month and I need some help in finding a large mirror, be it silver, grey or white I need something big! Every time I find something that I love it sells out, so guys yet again help me out, know of any good stores or markets, wherever just help a Mumma out with some suggestions!
Movie
Yes this has totally made the cut and I am a major fan of the original and I know that sometimes remakes can be atrocious, but I am dying to see IT yes IT I remember watching it as a kid and it scared the crap outta me literally my skin ran off and left me looking like a ghost! Damn, I love a scary movie, truly nothing makes me happier than a movie scaring me shitless and IT gets me excited, plus hottie Alexander Skarsgård younger brother is in it, playing the main role, sooooo a total must see, even just to perv over him!
What do you think of my September Edit Wish List? If you guys like maybe I can do one every month? Have you got anything you have your eyes set on this month, or have you snapped any of the bits above? I would love to hear your comments below.
Happy September.
