  • May 28: Praise Isn’t it awkward getting praise sometimes? I know, like a lot of people, that I often struggle to accept praise – especially when it really matters. Praise is something that is actually pretty important to me though. It’s a thing that stems from childhood, getting feedback and comments on my behaviour or 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 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

  • May 24: Letters I used to write a lot of physical letters when I was younger. For a while, I was pen-palling with a couple of friends who lived in other parts of the country. Our letters would usually be handwritten – although later on in the game I did get excited about all of 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 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

  • May 18: Sparkle Sparkle for me is a very girlie thing. Now I know it’s 2019 and that gender isn’t of any importance any more, but sparkle is something that feels very feminine to me. Now you already know how much I love drag queens and anything else camp, so perhaps you’d assume that I’m 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 16: Conscience noun the inner sense of what is right or wrong in one’s conduct or motives, impelling one toward rightaction   I used to think that everyone has a conscience and some part of me still likes to think this is true. However, last night me and my best friend finally watched Extremely Wicked, Shocking Evil And Vile and it seems pretty obvious that Ted Bundy for one didn’t have a conscience. That Read more

  • May 15: Black + White As I am a Geordie and very proud of where I come from, there really is no other topic that I can talk about today. I’m from a city in the North East of England called Newcastle Upon Tyne. We’re quite a famous city and most people know us for Read more

  • May 13: Little I don’t quite know what to write for today, so have a very creative list of all of the things that I think of when I see the word little. Let’s think of it as a very fun word association game! People Little mama – which is the nickname me and my 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

  • May 9: Umbrella What an appropriate day to write this post! It is so cold, grey and rainy here in the North East that if I venture outside I will certainly need an umbrella. I’m very unlucky with umbrellas – I’ve lost count of the number of brollies that have broken, bent inside out or Read more
