The Ultimate Blogging Challenge: Day 4 – Recommendations

Caitlin’s Challenge today…

The topic for today is “recommendations”. Now for this, you can recommend anything from beauty products that you love, books you’ve enjoyed, music artists/songs that you’ve recently discovered, a place you’ve visited…  You could even recommend another blog that you enjoy reading.

This may not be the kind of recommendation that Caitlin was thinking of, but it was what came to mind with the prompt!

I’m a tad tired today, after completing my week of decorating…

It wasn’t for me. I can definitely recommend getting a decorator in, rather than doing it yourself!

Actually, as many of you had said, when I first mentioned what I was up to these last few days, there is definitely a huge sense of pride in seeing my work completed. It feels good knowing that I painted both the kids rooms, ceilings, skirting boards et al! (with help obviously!) And also building all the furniture. I am a whizz with power tools!

I ache, but it’s a good ache. An ache that says “It was worth every twinge, seeing my kids faces when they checked out the finished rooms!”

But, as I said at the beginning, I definitely recommend getting a decorator in!

We were contemplating sorting out our bedroom, the hallway, and the living/dining room. After this last week, I can hand on heart say, decorating isn’t for me!

…now interior design… I can handle that!

The Ultimate Blogging Challenge – Day 1 – All About Me – Ritu Stylee! #ourbloggingchallenge

This time last year Caitlin from A Little Daydreamer held a two-week challenge. Since then she has grown from a relatively small blog, to one with a much bigger follower, and is not just a blogger, but a vlogger too!

And this year, not wanting to disappoint, she has set up a new 2 week-challege for this summer too! It will be a series of prompts, sent every other day, for you to interpret as you wish, or as per her instructions.

This first challenge is this…

I would like you to create something that represents you in some way. It could be as simple as writing a [insert number] facts about me post. Or, it could be a story of something that inspired or influenced you as a person. You could even share a piece of artwork that you feel a connection to, whether it was created by you or not.
The possibilities are endless and you can go as “off-topic” as you like, as long as it has a strong relation to you and lets us get to know you better.:)

So I decided to write this…

Me

Who am I?
I’m Ritu, that’s me
A great big ball
Of contradictions
A 40-something body
with a 20-something mind
A nice little
Eastern girl
Caught up in
The Western world
A girl so proud
Of her traditions
Yet eager to break
All conventions
A homely, happy
Family lass
With an outgoing,
Extroverted personality
An Indian girl
Who can’t stand chilli
Preferring a roast
Or a plate of spaghetti
I’m happy as I am
But I want to lose weight
I love all my curves
It’s the wobbles I hate
A chatterbox,
Talking ten to the dozen
With shoulders to lean on
And ears to listen
A teacher by profession
Yet a scholar of life
A mother, and a daughter
A loving, faithful wife
I know how to be respectful
But I have a naughty streak
I’m both fiery and feisty
But equally mild and meek!

Ritu 2016

There you have it, Ritu in verse!
