It is not just myself I am planning on upgrading lately to improve my life it is also the items around me, the items I will use day to day to improve my routines and ensure I am working towards that life that I envisage. I have finally managed to compile a little list of the items I want to purchase to help with these upgrades and let's just say there is a nice little mix on here...
New Coffee Machine
I want to start to make the most of my mornings, just an hour with a good coffee kick starting the day the right way. The days of a good coffee in our house are long gone so the plan is to purchase a new Nespresso machine and some pods which are the flavours we love. There will be no more instant coffee which we drink for the sake of it, we will finally be able to have a great quality coffee from the comfort of our home without having to go to the local coffee shop.

New Bedding
Gone are the days of cheap bedding which is uncomfortable and here come the days of better quality sleep from investing in the right sort of bedding. The plan is to upgrade our actual duvet, duvet cover & pillows to help us have better nights sleep which we both need. I am hoping that by investing in these items my sleep quality will improve which in turn means my recovery will improve and help my fitness journey.
Stand Mixer
I have been wanting to live a slower life and spend more time at home however, I currently get bored and am itching to get out but the plan is to change that by taking up hobbies that can take place without leaving the house. One thing I have wanted to take up is baking and I know that this is something that I will enjoy and will keep me super busy in the house. The plan is to purchase a stand mixer to help with the baking process, it doesn't need to be anything expensive but it will definitely be beneficial.
Vegetable Beds
As part of the slower and healthier life I am wanting to grow my own vegetables and we are slowly creating a garden space to make this possible. In the garden that we barely use at the side of our house we are looking at adding a few raised beds to grow fruit and vegetables whilst creating a nice cosy area to relax in if we want to, a far cry from the football garden we thought this was going to be. Hopefully we can make growing our own items a success so we can eat properly and save some money in the process.
A Dressing Room
The spare room is currently a home office however, I don't use it as I just do the blogging from the games room now so it has become a bit of a wasted area. I am planning going forward to change this room into a dressing room with multiple wardrobes for myself so Liam can have the smaller wardrobe in the bedroom for his stuff rather than us cramming everything in like we are doing. The plan is to have one side of the room for normal clothing and then the other wall filled with gym clothes and football clothes so everything has its own space. I am hoping we can get this done ASAP and get this room from somewhere wasted into a practical space.
There you have it those are the upgrades I am wanting to make around the house, so far the coffee machine is the number one priority however, I am really leaning into getting the dressing room done ASAP so that getting ready on a morning becomes much easier. Let's see how this goes and what actually gets upgraded as time goes on.
See you soon,
Lucy
