I wanted to call this post ‘Sunday Scheming’ because that day marks the end of a week for me, and that’s usually when I get randomly inspired to change my whole life. However, it’s currently a bank holiday in England which means this week is having a later start than usual for most, but I’ve [...]
I spoke about coping mechanisms in my most recent post, where I was addressing one particular bad habit that I've developed over the years. While I don't want to get too repetitive here, I'm not quite finished with this topic of conversation. I've been thinking a lot about coping mechanisms, habits, and the things we [...]
We live in a noisy world. No matter where we turn we're forced to deal with messages, news, advertisements, other people's opinions, judgements, and so on coming at us from every direction. We carry around these devices that are constantly making noise - both literal and metaphysical - and with every tone we take in [...]
I've recently been exploring spirituality and intuition, and I have to say that I'm really happy to be on this journey right now. After spending time reading self-help books, listening to podcasts and following other people's advice I've started to notice patterns within myself. The more I learn about myself, the more open I'm feeling [...]
As many people on the internet have said, the world is on fire at the moment and I know you're all are too aware of it. Without going too far into this topic, because I think we all need a break from it, a lot of people are having to spend more time than they'd [...]
Self-care is by no means an innovative topic in the blogosphere - including this website - but it does appear to have changed a little bit. Since the first introduction to social media, self-care has changed it's definition slightly as we, the audience, started questioning what it actually means. At the beginning, you'd be forgiven [...]
There has been a lot of drama on social media lately regarding 'fat shaming'. If you have spent even a second online over the past week or so, then you will know the story. I don't want to get into how it started or what's been said because I think it's unnecessary for this post. [...]
May 23: Kindness Now I know how important kindness is, but I don't think I'd ever consider it to be strength of mine. Kindness is something that is normally associated with women, but it's something that we can all offer and experience. I know that I have experienced kindness so many times in my life [...]
What a statement, eh?! Imagine never feeling heartbroken. I don't think there's a person alive right now who hasn't felt this feeling at least once. My first true heartbreak was probably when the pop-sensation band Steps split up in the early noughties, and this pain continued as every band I loved through my childhood took [...]
Self- care is a big topic online nowadays and although it is one of my favourite trends to have ever hit our screens (an open conversation about looking after yourself? Yes please!) it can be trivialised or even glamorised at times. There are some times when having a Lush bath and pampering yourself just won't do. [...]
