Clio Update

We have had Clio now for 3 months and that time has gone really quickly. Thankfully she has not got any bigger otherwise she would be a small horse.

I am still not too sure how I feel about her. At the beginning I loved her because she was quiet, she didn't jump and she did what we said. Now it's a different story. She's found her voice, or shall I say her bark. As she grew more comfortable around us she seemed to turn into what I can only describe as a toddler - she gets told off, has to have timeout and has the biggest sad face.

Along with the barking she has started to jump up. I know that she only wants to play and it is not vicious, but I dont think she realises how big she is. I have got numerous scrathes on my arms, legs and stomach from where she jumps up at me – which I am not impressed about. When she jumps up I can honestly say it scares me. She is so big I have nearly fallen over quite a few times.

Clio has also taken a fancy to shoes (hear the girls scream)! We have a shoe rack by the front door that she takes shoes from and runs into the garden to chew them to pieces. What Clio does, which she thinks is clever, is that she chews nothing indoors - she takes them into the garden to chew. What Clio doesn't understand is that we can see her run from inside the house with the shoe into the garden. I have already lost 2 pairs of shoes; 1 beautiful pair of gold havaianas and a pair of sandals. Thankfully summer shoes which are no longer needed.

What I have managed to do is teach her 3 tricks, which I am so proud of. The first one was sit, which was quite easy as she did that when ever she thought we were giving her food, so all she had to learn was doing it on command. The next one was paw, or as I prefer high 5. This was a little trickier but we got there and now she doesn't stop doing it. The last trick was lay/down. I am so impressed with myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and teaching her these tricks. Now I just need to teach her to roll over and to leave my shoes alone!

April's Favourites

Where did that month go, it went past so quick I barely feel like it happened. April was a good month for me I was very busy which is probably why it went by so fast. I have had loads of birthdays including my brother and sister, new job opportunities and lots of new Elephant Bum things going on (which is all very exciting!)

I thought I would share with you all my favourites things from April. It is a mix all of different stuff that I quickly became obsessed with throughout April. 

The first thing that I fell in love with was my Zara bag! I love it! The Office City Bag, that is what I am now, a city worker gal! It has a place for everything, two padded sections one for your laptop and the other for your ipad, two massive sections for general stuff and two massive zipped pockets. I love this bag and would recommend it to anyone who needs that perfect bag for carrying everything. 

My beautiful bag!

I love this Dove 'Go Fresh' deodorant it doesn't just smell good it actually does what a deodorant is supposed to do. The smell defiantly does help though! It is in the new compressed size for deodorants, I have now had it for a month and it is still going strong so maybe not all adverts lie. 

 Dove 'Go Fresh' pomegranate and lemon verbena scent

Now this one is a little old school. Remember when we were all 13 and declaring our love for Seth Cohan from The OC well thats me again at 21. I do not know how this has happened but I have become obsessed with The OC, I have already finished season 1 and starting season 2 this evening. 

Who doesn't love themselves a Comic Book Geek, I certainly found mine. 

The Maybelline 'Super Stay 24' have become my favourite coverage for my lips. I currently have 2 colours 'Fire Corail' which is an orange colour and 'Cherry Red' which a deep tone of red. I love them, they do last all day which is good because you don't have to think about re-applying. I am defiantly going to purchase more of these. Let me know if you have any colours and which ones you feel look good.

Well done Maybelline!

The last thing I have been obsessed with this month are my beanie hats, I have now got 4 colours but these have been my favourites. I have worn them all weathers which England have currently had this past month. 

They also hide slightly greasy hair! 

These have been my slight obsessions this month (Simon would say more than slightly). I would love to know if you have loved anything this month so please leave a link below and I will check it out.

I hope you are all having an awesome Sunday in the sun!
