Lent

Hello incredibly gorgeous people of the internet! 
Too creepy? Sorry...

Anywhoo, I don't normally observe Lent as in my eyes its more to do with Catholicism rather than Christianity (Protestant/Pentecostal/Evangelical). However this year I thought it would be good to give up my vices and spend more time getting closer to God as that was one of my New Years Resolutions.
So for Lent I'm going to be giving up *drumroll* Coffee and Sweets!!!! 

Recently I've jumped back onto the lets eat nothing but sweets and drink 6 cups of coffee a day bandwagon and that's not really in keeping with my goal to lose weight and after finally being freed from the clutches of puberty induced acne, my skin is actually starting to get worse!

So here I am, first day of Lent and I have survived... to say the least. It's actually been rather okay and not as hard as I thought it would be! In the morning I subconsciously gravitated towards coffee, but after realising what I was doing I had Earl Grey tea instead and then in an effort to lay off caffeine, a lovely cup of Green tea with a hint of lemon :) I loved it, and in the space of a day has replaced Chai tea as my favourite drink! And by throwing out most of the sweets in my house last night, and angering my family, I've been eating fruit instead!

I'm also planning on doing about 30 minutes of bible study later tonight, and I'm really excited for that as I have not been reading my bible much lately *insert incredibly guilty face here* and I'm really trying to get back into the habit of reading it regularly and not just on Sundays.

Anyway I'll hopefully be updating you guys weekly and my YouTube channel too if everything goes to plan! Which it has so far! 

However, this was the first day and Lent isn't over till Easter, so I've still got a long way to go! So wish me luck!!!

Do any of you guys observe Lent? And if so, what vice will you be giving up this year?

Thank you so much to everyone who read this! I love you forever and you get an imaginary Red Velvet Cupcake from me!

Until Next Time,
