  • I have been spending a bit of time away from social media over the past month or so. Normally, I waste far too much time scrolling through Instagram or Twitter and I just decided to stop it for a while. I don’t have the apps on my phone anymore and I haven’t really missed it… Read more

  • 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

  • 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 31: Hope Friends, we have made it to the end of May! I cannot quite believe how fast this month has gone and I’m so proud of myself for making it through this challenge. I think hope is a very fitting word for a finale. Hope is something that I never used to feel during some pretty sad… Read more

  • May 4: Apologies Saying sorry is really hard, don’t you think? There’s been so many times in my life where I’ve scrimped on my apologies, despite the fact I really hate it when other people do that. Learning what to say and how to act when you’re wrong is really difficult and it’s something that… Read more

  • 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

  • May 27: Circles As you’ll know by now, I like to talk about myself a lot. I like to talk about my journey of self discovery and self growth because that’s what seems to be going on with me most of the time. I mentioned in a recent post, but it often feels like I’m… Read more

  • May 26: Jekyll + Hyde Living with my brain sometimes feels like constantly being in a room with Jekyll and Hyde. And I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. It kinda pains me to say it – being the big bookworm that I am – but I actually haven’t read the… Read more

  • 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… Read more

  • May 21: Space I said in the very first post for this challenge that I love space. I think it is super fascinating and sometimes overwhelming – but in a good way. Like I said in that last post, I am not scientific in anyway and instead like space simply as it is. I don’t… Read more

  • May 19: Myself I am constantly trying to work on myself.  If you have been to this blog before, then you know that I’m all about self development and self improvement. I’m kind of obsessed with working on myself and trying to become a better person and this is something I’ve been actively working on… Read more

  • May 17: Luck I have to say that I feel so full of luck to be where I am today. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately, as it’s almost the halfway point of 2019, and I just feel so proud of myself. If you’ve been to this blog before, then you will know… Read more

  • May 10: Bodies I feel like I should have planned this post before I wrote it, but I guess that goes against the point of the challenge. I just know I’m going to have a lot to say about bodies. I’ve already touched on it during my weight post (read here) but I have a… Read more

  • I love Carrie Hope Fletcher and I thought that her ‘May, Myself and I’ challenge (watch the video here) was a great way to get me back into writing as a hobby. I’ve recently talked about my ongoing battle with this blog and how I’m struggling to get back into writing just for myself, so… Read more

  • Long time no blogging, friends! I hope you have had a gentle, safe start to 2019 and are quietly working on what you want to achieve. I’ve been a bit quiet on the blogging front simply because I have been busy working, and this has made me reconsider my commitments. I’m hoping that content will… Read more

  • The big day is almost here! I hope that you’re reading this all wrapped up and cosy, with a nice beverage and plenty of chocolate around you. Just before Santa busies himself with delivering presents, I thought I’d share a moment with you and remind you of some important things. Christmas is a brilliant time… Read more
