MY LIFE | Surviving a Long Distance Relationship

I have been living in Arizona, 5291 miles away from home and my boyfriend Aaron for almost a year. With two months before I'm home for good, I've become well versed in what makes for a successful long distance relationship. It hasn't been easy, but it also hasn't been difficult. There is an 8 hour time difference between AZ and the UK and we both definitely had to make some adjustments in order for our relationship to work almost half a world apart. 

That being said, we're stronger than ever. Below are some of the things I felt have been crucial in order to build and maintain a successful long-distance relationship.

My Latest Project: Skype Support Group

Hi everyone! So if you follow me on Twitter, you know that I'm interested in starting up a Skype group for our Tone It Up family. I've spent the last few days working out the logistics and I think it should be pretty easy!

One thing I did work out was that in order to use Skype's newest facility, group calls, you need to have the Skype Premium package which unfortunately you have to pay for. I was a little discouraged by this as I thought this would have been fantastic. 

However a Skype Support/Motivation group is still TOTALLY do-able in my eyes! All you have to do is set up a group on your contacts; click on contacts --> create new group. (I called mine TIU Love) and add contacts or drag existing ones!

Now hear lies the issue - contacts. How are we going to know who to add? One idea I came up with is having a list on my blog, of everybody who'd like to be involved, another I had was for people to put their Skype usernames in their Twitter bio - of course if they want to be involved.

So to get the ball rolling - my skype username is georgiamaisie

I can't wait to hear from you  all!

I hope this is a huge success!
