Last month I received the blogging recognition award! I think when I received it I must have sent the link to everybody I love. I was so excited that somebody would have read what I had written and thought that my work was worth recognizing. Thank you Malalai Sana of http://www.secretsofgreatestminds.com for my nomination.

We all have friends that feel like family but family that we have chosen. The friends that you don’t speak to for weeks and months on end but you can just pick up the phone or meet for coffee and it feels like you’ve only see them yesterday. The friends where you can put your … Continue reading Real Situations Expose Fake People

In my last blog I talked about the benefits I found from writing down my negative thoughts on paper and then throwing the paper away. It helped me identify why I felt a certain way and to re-evaluate my self talk during a time when I felt negatively about myself. From this experience I wondered … Continue reading 4-Week-Challenge – Positive Post-It Notes

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

This last month I set myself the challenge of planning ahead for every day to see how much more productive and less forgetful I could become. As I wrote about in my de-cluttering blog my level of organisation is somewhat lacking. I can never remember where I have put something important, only to find that … Continue reading 4-Week-Challenge – Daily Planning

As part of my own journey into being a better version of me I have been reading quite a few books. These are words that, a couple of years ago, I never thought I would say. I read audio books but I do also buy some of the ones I really like so I can … Continue reading Reading Review: Emotional intelligence & How To Win Friends And Influence People

When I was a child I remember being in my back garden making potions and perfumes out of petals and pond water. 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?
