As someone who works from home, motivation is something I’m always looking for. I’m quite lucky, because I am pretty self-motivated – I always manage to get my work done and can be quite productive on the regular. But I know that not everyone is the same and I still suffer from a lack of… Read more

If you have been to this blog recently, you will know that I’m kind of on a journey to change my life. That sounds very grand and dramatic, but it’s something I’m constantly doing. I’m currently trying to work on my health, my routine and my finances. Some people may call what I’m currently working on… 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 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: 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 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 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 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

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

Christmas hasn’t even arrived, yet feels as though everyone is already preparing for the new year. If you’re like me – nerdy, an organisation fanatic and (alright I’ll admit it) a bit of a perfectionist – then this time of year can be so much fun. There’s nothing better than a fresh start and the… Read more

This is the second part of this mini-series. To see part one, the backstory, click here. As I am writing this I am still unemployed. I have been out of work now for just over a month and this time has certainly had it’s ups and its downs. I wasn’t sure if I’d even get… Read more
