I'm a collector of words, phrases, and quotes. Perhaps it comes from being a writer myself, or the fact I'm a bit of a bookworm, but whatever the reason may be I have various notebooks, apps, and other paraphernalia dedicated to scraps of sentences around me. One such place where I collect quote is in [...]
Before I go into this post, I just want to preface it by saying that I’m writing this in a low mood state. Writing is cathartic and I’m hoping by the end of this post I’ll feel lighter, but just to warn you, in case you too are in a dark place right now, that [...]
I made several bold statements at the end of last year regarding the changes I wanted to make to my life, health, and habits. Before the beginning of this year - doesn't that seem like a long time ago?! - I decided that I wanted to go on a no buy for the following 12 [...]
Good evening friends, I hope you are having a peaceful Sunday! I thought I'd try start a mini-series (once again) because I have a couple of things I wanted to talk about, and I thought this might be a nice conversation for us to have on a Sunday. I'm currently reading The Power of Now [...]

You know that iconic scene from Love Actually - one of the best films of all time, don't fight me on it - about Joni Mitchell? Emma Thompson's character is listening to Joni Mitchell while wrapping presents, and is explaining to her bastard of a husband (no, I'll never get over it) played by Alan [...]
What is your opinion of memes? You know, those funny images that people like to share and repost online to show off their sense of humour and even parts of their personality. There is one meme going around at the moment that is driving me mad and I can't sit on top of these opinions [...]
I have a love/hate relationship with Instagram. People who have been to this blog before will know that I went through a stage of loving this social media website. I was constantly taking, editing and uploading pictures for it - and I was having a great time. However, something has changed over the past few [...]
