A break from the norm
When we treat our work as life — instead of a way to live — we fall out of balance and into unhealthy habits.
There's more to life than status updates and the constant ping of emails.Between texts, emails, regular old phone calls, and notifications from multiple social media sites, in fact I couldn't remember the last time I passed a full 6 hours without checking my phone at least once! We needed a break!
We spent the Bank Holiday weekend in a beautiful log cabin on the Solway Firth with our niece and of course, the hairy weans!
A few weeks before I decided that I was having a technology free weekend. To be honest I was quite anxious, what if customers wants to get in touch? What if the suppliers put out some fabulous pieces and I miss out? What if? What if.........................?
It was Ahh - Mazing !!!
We read books, played board games, we talked, we sat in silence! We walked, just spent time together, there's something calming about the wild sea air on your face. The weather was fab
I'm back at work today feeling totally refreshed. I would never do without technology, its my job, my livelihood, Tallulah Belle Fashion is my passion but the business didn't crumble by switching off for the weekend in fact it gave me a boost as the sales still came in without the social media push so I'm doing something right ;-). There is more to life and I guess you just have to find the right balance!

Obsessing the Colour Purple ............
Ever since Katy Perry appeared on our screen showing off her berry locks Ive been obsessing with purple hair. (I have a slight purple obsession, just check our little TBF Logo !)
Then I came across the stunning Victoria from In The Frow and I was hooked! The appointment's in the book, purple locks here we go!
You can follow my purple hair obsession over on our Pinterest just click the link X

Festive Films
The Christmas movies are my favourite part of the festivities, its the only time I sit down to watch films. I love to snuggle under a blanket with a box of match makers and chocolate fingers (sometimes both) and have a jammy (pj) day.
This will be happening at TBF HQ next weekend - this weekend is pandemonium (more on that later) I have yet to switch over to Sky Christmas, my tree isn't up yet, I feel so disorganised this year and I don't like it!
My sister bought me the Harry Potter Box Set last year, it's still in the wrapper, I plan a Harry Potter PJ day over the holidays too! I've seen the first 2 but never watched the others on TV as I hadn't seen the 3rd. I'm freaky that way!
My top 5 festive films are -
5
Miracle on 34th Street
Dreams do come true at Christmas for little 6 year old Susan, her mother tells her a "secret" about Santa but after writing her Christmas list she receives a precious Christmas Gift.
3
Elf
Just wouldn't be Christmas with Elf!
"The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear" Enough said!
2
Its a Wonderful Life
Some movies are made only for black & white, this is one of them. I refuse to watch this in colour. "Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings" When George Bailey feels like he can't go on and visit from Clarence his guardian angel shows him life without George. A weepy that pulls on the heart strings
1
Love Actually
My all time favourite Christmas film, I laugh, I cry, I could play a part. Its all about the love..............
What's your favourite Christmas movie? x

The Grinch
What's not to love about The Grinch, who wouldn't like to live in Wholville!! The Grinch (Jim Carey) and his poor beloved side kick Max set out to ruin Christmas but has a change of heart when he befriends little Cindy Lou Who!
Elf
