Internet Friends

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

If you are a follower of Sprinkle of Glitter or Sprinkle of Chatter on YouTube then this isn't a new story for you. However, if you are strictly a blogspot kinda gal, this might give you a warm fuzzy of joy. 

Three years ago, whilst reading the comments on one of my latest videos, I stumbled across a comment that peaked my interest, clicked on the profile, fell instantly in love with the channel, emailed the lady who ran it and skip forward 36 months, she's one of my besties!

The only issue is geography. With her living in Seattle and me near London, we had to manage a long distance bromance (can ladies have a 'bromance'??). 

Here is the story of how, this Easter, things changed.

Since uploading this video I have heard SO many similar stories of internet friendships. If you have one, leave it in the comments. I know I enjoy reading about them so bet others do too!

Toodlepip!

Motivational Monday #10

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Fancy a good ol' fashioned Motivational Monday? I do! Let's go!

I pinned this to my Pinterest a while back knowing it HAD to make it into a future Motivational Monday. It rings so true with me because my life is my day dream.

Many moons ago I was in a stale office job that I hated, felt stifled, bored and like I needed to DO something. I began reading blogs, started my own, set up a YouTube channel and four years later, it's my full time gig.

Obviously there was (and still is) a lot of hard work in between, but when you love what you do, it doesn't feel like work.

My little wish for you this week is that you take a moment to think about your hopes and dreams and just consider what you can do with them. Some may seem crazy unobtainable, some may seem completely ridiculous but each mountain climb starts with a step. I'm not suggesting you can do everything in one week, no way hose, but could you make a tiny move forward in making your dreams a reality? Could you do some research to see what you would need to get there? Could you put £10 in a jar to start saving towards it? Could you have an open discussion with a loved one about what your hopes are? All these things are steps in the right direction. 

Since this is the first Motivational Monday in a long while, there's no homework left over from last time but your homework this week is to tell me in the comments what your life dreams are. I think we'll inspire each other. 

Toodlepip!

Gentle Family Time

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Cheese and pickle, I'm on a roll! I have been uploading to both my Sprinkle of Glitter and Sprinkle of Chatter channels like a pro this week. You may well have seen THIS side splitting collab with DanIsNotOnFire but the video I want to share is below. 

It was a bit of a challenge for me because it's the first time I've done music parts over and it's the first vlog in a long time that I've been calm, Mummy and Wifey. Lovely, lovely, lovely. 

If this embedded version is not working for you, click HERE. Also, if you haven't subscribed to my second channel and would like a little email each time there is something new, do feel free. It's HERE. 

Blogging Update - I'm enjoying tip-tapping on here a bit more regularly. I feel like I've lost my writing mojo but after four and a half years of going full pelt, I'm not going to cry about it. Instead, I'm going to keep going and know that with practise it will return. Until then, bare with me :)

What kind of videos do you enjoy to watch the most?

Toodlepip!
