Hello world!

Oh well! I started off this blog thinking I would bring to you lots of reviews about products I have used and liked, products I have used and disliked, showing you my cooking and baking skills, taking you along with me to London when I do go shopping, and sharing some good finds ect ect.

Then a year later, nothing much has happened…but what exactly happened? Do you want to know? Well life happened! No I did not exactly give 'life' to someone but somethin amazing happened to me! I have been waiting for such a long time to do my teacher training in the UK as I am a qualified teacher but overseas. I finally got the opportunity to do so last year! So much have happened since…

First of all, I did my teacher training, and I am now a qualified teacher. The training itself was not as tough as I thought it would be but it was very, VERY, time consuming. I enjoy teaching and I enjoy art, so teaching Art last year was more a blast than stressful, really. However, it was not only play play play, it was also very long hours of marking, target setting, lesson planning ect ect ect.

To cut a long story short, I really did not have time to vlog, blog , or make video tutorials as I already have one channel where I do upload as often as I can but last year, it was like one video a month or something.

Quite often, I have thought about this blog and youtube channel and really wished I could upload something but time as far too limited. Anyway, I am not working in a new school as a Newly Qualified Teacher - and the story carries on, lots of work, paper work, lesson planning, schemes of work, target settings ect ect ect.

However, when I do have some free time, I just love making videos, editing them and write on my blog( my other crafty blog). So I decided to change this blog's name, the attached youtube channel as well. It was so hard to find a name for them but I settled down on 'Blossoing I deas and Mind'- why? I will let you take a guess!

Anyway, this is a short post to say that I will be back soon. Not sure when but soon:)
Please bear with me, okay?

See you later!

Organising my kitchen cupboard

Hey everyone!
I am finally able to pay some attention to this blog. I have moved in a two bed flat in a nice quiet area since April 2012. It is called a flat but really, it is the ground floor of a split house. I have access to the back garden and have seperate entrance as well. I really like my new place, which is not so new anymore as I have grown to feel at home again. I used to live in a shared house before and while it was nice , it was also time for me to have my own space , with my husband.

I am a busy full time cover supervisor, which means, I take up lessons when the subject teacher is away. My previous job, was a learning support, where I had a timet table and I knew exactly which lesson I will be in daily and which student I will be supporting. But new job, CS, which I have not been doing since last october, is more challenging in the sense that I do not have a time table. I have to go in in the morning, and not knowing which lessons I would be having. While I did find it a bit daunting at first, I am now used to this and quite enjoying the whole experience. Eventually I would like to teach again, and have a time table and my own class.

I like the idea of a time table. And in my house , I like to have everything in its place as much as I can. It is very hard to keep everything organised since I am busy and most evenings, I like to chill and not worry about house chores or putting things away. So it is very important to have a 'house' for everything. I do not always follow my own rules, that is to put everything exactly where it belongs but when they already have a house, sorting my room is really easy, as it takes only seconds to then put things where they belong.

Anyway, here is a video about how I organised my kitchen cupboard. I live in a small flat so my kitchen spaces are not very big so I had to figure out how to maximise my space. I hope this will come in handy to anyone with small space available.

Please leave a comment about your organising tips. I would love to read them. Thank you.

Hey you girls.
I have not been able to update anything yet but my friend who borrowed my steamer has brought it back today! So I will be able to film my video possibly tomorrow...So, even though, at the moment, I seem to be talking to myself, it is all good!

By the time I would have diverted you to here, hopefully you will be able to see a few reviews already.

Talk to you soon.

We have only one Life, so, Live it. We have a lot of opportunities, seize them. Make the most of it.

Welcome...

Hello and welcome to my new blog!

I have lots of ideas for this new blog and I hope you will enjoy reading and I also hope you will find many inspirations here. This blog, unlike my other craft blog which you can visit HERE , will cover many aspects of my life such as interior designs/decor, reviews about products which also will be house related cleaning products I find amazing, hauls ( could be anything from food, to clothing, to fabulous finds), and many many more.

So this blog will hopefully inspire people with different interests.

So, let's see how it goes. I will be back soon with my first review of my H2O steamer, yaaay!

Take care,

Tassy
