As you know my 4-week-challenge this week is positive post-it notes. They are everywhere! On my mirror, my wall, my kitchen cupboard and my computer. Everywhere I look there is a smiley face, positive statement or just a funny silly drawing. I wont go too much into it as this is next weeks’ blog but … Continue reading What you say about yourself, to yourself 

I wanted to take a look at a couple of celebrity self help books for review as they are often high sellers due to their authors being so well known and often more relatable to a younger female audience. Like me, they have no qualifications on advising people how to live their lives but have … Continue reading Reading Review: Kate Hudson – Pretty Happy and Fearne Cotton – Happy

Not the most floral of scents but I remember being completely lost in my experiments and excited as to what I could produce. Today these experiments have turned into making candles and homemade … Continue reading Bring Back Messy Play

As you saw from my 4-week-challenge I was meditating daily but due to my London house sharing lifestyle this invariably became a bedroom activity. As you can imagine asking my housemates to turn off their YouTube videos, stop cooking, talking or even moving in order to remain completely silent whilst I sat crossed legged listening … Continue reading How many pens do you actually need?

It seems that anybody who has ever documented turning their life around sites some of their success to regularly meditating. Meditation is not … Continue reading 4-Week-Challenge – Meditation

Dear Diary ‘I saw him again, standing by the spar with his m8s. He looked so hot in … Continue reading Bringing ‘Dear Diary’ into the 21st century

When I finished University, I was inspired to write a bucket list. At the time, I had made plans to go traveling with friends, so I was really motivated to do and see some incredible things. I ended up writing only eighteen things on said bucket list and having saved it on Microsoft word I … Continue reading Groupon failure and hula hooping aspirations, bring in the bucket list
