    If you follow me on Instagram, then you will know that I’ve had quite a busy weekend. As someone who spends a lot of time at home, this weekend has been a bit wild because there have been a few celebrations going on. Although I don’t regret a second of it, I do think it’s Read more

  • How Important Is Motivation Anyway?

    As someone who works from home, motivation is something I’m always looking for.

  • How To Make A Fresh Start From Someone Who’s Obsessed With Them

    You know that feeling when you open a new notebook, slip into a freshly cleaned bed or start a new novel? I’m kind of hooked on it. It seems like I’m always saying that ‘tomorrow will be better’ or that ‘this time for real I’m going to get my act together’. In all honesty, I’m not that Read more

  • Changes I’m Trying To Make – Day One | BECOMING BETTER

    Even though I love nothing more than learning from other people’s progress, I’m getting tired of only ever seeing the results. Sure, it’s great to see progress and hear people’s advice but it’s always coming from the easy bit – the bit after all of the hard work has happened. Seeing this constantly on social Read more

    May 4: Apologies Saying sorry is really hard, don’t you think?

    May 28: Chaos We all know by now that I’m a worrier, a stress-head and a chronic overthinker. Although this does cause a lot of issues in my life, it has allowed me to develop some skills in the art of calming a chaos. As I always say on this blog, I’m still learning so Read more

  • Moon – May, Myself And I #25

    May 25: Moon There’s been a lot of space talk on this challenge and I love it! In those other posts I may have mentioned that I love space and I do have a particular soft spot for the moon. But instead of fangirling about space and gushing about how pretty the moon is, I Read more

  • Mundane – May, Myself And I #20

    May 20: Mundane One of my favourite quotes at the moment is: Celebrate the mundane I don’t know where I first saw it (it was probably Pinterest) but I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Mrs Hinch and her cleaning cloths, mummy bloggers talking about their home; bookstagrammers and their current reads – these are just Read more

  • Curtains – May, Myself And I #14

    May 14: Curtains The first thing that came to my mind when I read today’s word was: ‘you never know what’s going on behind closed doors’ but I suppose I should change that to behind closed curtains, for today. No matter what people are hiding behind, whether it is a door, a snazzy set of Read more

  • What To Do When Bad Things Happen At Christmas

    Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year – at least it seems that way, if you listen to the carols and pay attention to every bit of festive pop culture.

  • Planning The Perfect Day | Personal Self – Care

    I’ve talked about self-care a lot on this blog because it genuinely is a topic that means so much to me. Only a few years ago we didn’t even have a sufficient term for being kind to ourselves, which made talking about this topic pretty tricky. Thanks to other wonderful bloggers, influencers and social media Read more
