About Me

Hello and welcome to the Pastel Planner!

I'm Michelle and I've been blogging for several years under Satchels & Pearls and Little Bug and Me, but now I fancy something a little different that reflects my ever changing life. I'm thirty, and life has changed for the better since I hit the big 3-0. I know most people think it's the end, but actually it's been the making for me. I'm a single mum to a very active toddler who will be three shortly, and I'm surprised we've lasted as long as we have haha.

I suffer from several chronic illness which do affect my day to day life, I have ME, Fibromyalgia and spinal damage but to name a few. I try not to blog about my Spoonie life as I don't feel that makes me who I am, but there may be an occasional moan when I'm having a bad period. As I'm writing this now I've finished college for the summer and just had surgery on my spine, as well as my pelvis slipping out of place so I'm having a bit of a rough time.

The Pastel Planner reflects my love for all things planner, my massive collection of planners and diaries, and all my love for stationery. Being a hairdresser and having an obsession of pastel hair (and all things hair related) this gives me the opportunity to scrapbook my work too, and any current hair related trends that I fancy writing about at the time. There will be plenty of pictures of food, especially tea and cake, so if you like that kind of thing then you're in for a good time.

This will be my new life and style blog where anything goes, so please, grab a cuppa and I hope you enjoy reading!

Michelle xo
