HI! welcome to Elisha blogs!

Hi, I’m Elisha! A twenty-something girl from Harrogate. Made in Yorkshire, influenced by everything the world has to offer.

I enjoy writing about Northern lifestyle and I love travelling! I am on a mission to find the fun in every-day life and have a specific passion for the theatre, fun days out, amazing food (especially brunch), spa days, writing (duh!), a little bit of fashion, dogs, and drinking cocktails. I hope you enjoy reading my blog!

Tomorrow will be one week since I got the keys to Tomorrow will be one week since I got the keys to my house and we've been cracking on with painting, painting and more painting since. Of course we've discovered along the way that there is a LOT that needs doing to the house and it's going to be a while before it's ready to move into (without being a building site) but that's exciting because I can totally makeover the house and make it my own! 😊 Here is one of the only rooms that is fairly decently on its way to being liveable... my bedroom! The previous owner left these giant wooden wardrobes that fit the walls in the room so I decided to upcycle them! Several layers of undercoat, some white chalk paint and lacquer later, the wardrobes have had a makeover! Also, after painting the walls purple and then deciding I didn't like it, the walls are back to being white again. 😂 It's all a learning curve already! So now that the room is pretty much all white, how shall I break it up and make the room more interesting? 🤍
Took a break last night from wearing paint splatte Took a break last night from wearing paint splattered clothes and eating Naked Noodles to go out for dinner at @portofinoharrogate and dress up with my sister. 🍝 Such a nice restaurant, lots of choices, and super affordable. I'll drink to that! Now it's back to wearing the same painting clothes for the fourth day in a row and cups of tea and custard creams to power me through. Here's to the weekend! 🥂
I did a thing... 🔑🏠 Breaking my 'blogging b I did a thing... 🔑🏠 Breaking my 'blogging break' today because yesterday was a super exciting day - it was the day I exchanged and got the keys to my very own first house!! Things have been pretty rough and overwhelming recently (hence my departure from my blog for a while), and since the start of lockdown my life has been turned on its head in many ways - some wonderful (my newborn niece being born) and some saddening (breaking up with my boyfriend of 4 years). But when lockdown began to lift I became determined to start living my life exactly how I want to live it. No more waiting, no more worrying, no more not-believing in myself. Honestly, I never thought this day would come. I didn't think I was worthy. But here I am! A new house and a new chapter of my life beginning. How bloomin' exciting! 🤩 Now prepare for house renovation spam for the foreseeable future...
My face this morning (but not actually my face bec My face this morning (but not actually my face because as if I would have the energy to put on makeup and curl my hair), but my face nonetheless because today is the last day of work before my first week off this year! 💃💃💃 Tomorrow I'm going to London for a few days to see my best friends and I cannae wait! Even if it is a total wash out with the rain, I can't wait for lazy days, sleeping in and pottering about doing whatever I want to do this next week. Bring. It. On! Happy Friday everyone! 😁
Focus on the positive 💕 2020 may have thrown m Focus on the positive 💕 2020 may have thrown many rubbish things our way but, choosing to focus on the positives, I am grateful for all of the wonderful, exciting new life that keeps coming into the world this year. Both of my sisters have had/are expecting babies, we celebrated my best friend's son's 1st birthday at the weekend and she's almost ready to pop with Baby Number 2 soon! 👶 When time's are tough, always look for the light in the dark because it can always be found in some way even if it's not directly happening to you. Find your light in the people you love. ❤ Happy Thursday!
Monday is here and the countdown has begun my for Monday is here and the countdown has begun my for my first bit of time-off all year! 🙌 This year has been TOUGH and the past months since lockdown began have particularly tested my mental strength. I am definitely ready for some recuperation time, time to process everything that has happened and make plans for how I want the rest of 2020 to shape up. The beauty of hitting rock bottom is that the only way is up and you can begin to cut the things from your life that no longer serve you. As scary as they may be, they need to be done. You only get one shot in this beautiful world so don't waste it being miserable or living to please others. 🖤 📸 @people.of_harrogate
