I meant to write this on Friday, but better late than never, right? I think if there's one thing we can take away from the lockdown, it's the fact that the small things are not only more important, they're also more noticeable right now. The fact that we're confined to our houses, apart from for [...]
It's official. We have been in lockdown for over a month, and there's still no real indication of when this is going to end. It's safe to say I've learnt a lot about myself; I actually miss my daily commute, I can work from home much more effectively than I thought, and I have become [...]
I haven't written one of these in a while, but since there's so much doom and gloom going round, I thought I'd revive "The Small Things" blogs. Obviously, we are all on lockdown. Which means there is a lot more time to appreciate the little things in life. And since it helps to put things [...]
As this title would suggest, I'm about to talk about mental health. Because why shouldn't I? The recent and tragic death of Caroline Flack has got pretty much everyone talking about mental health issues and the impacts these can have on the lives, careers, relationships and everything in between of the people who suffer from [...]
“I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.” During the process of Googling around for inspiration to kick off my new year resolution piece, I stumbled across this quote by Anaïs Nin. Needless to [...]
As you may or may not have noticed (depending on how much attention you pay), I haven't written anything in more or less a whole two months. Despite the fact that I promised myself I would write far more regularly than this. It's been playing on my mind a lot recently, as I see so [...]
So. I realised that I haven't actually sat down and written a piece for my own personal enjoyment in literally two months. Without going into too much detail, the last couple of months have been full of change for me and I'm coming out the other side with a new outlook on a lot of [...]
It has to be said, spring is, by far, my favourite season. Having been out and about recently, I've noticed that there's more of a spring in my step (pun wholly intended, sorry not sorry) and here's all the reasons why... Everyone's nicer It's a fact that when the sun comes out and the days [...]
I've been thinking a lot about how to mix it up on the old blog scene lately and during my wonderings, I came to not one, but two, shocking realisations. Number one: I am a self-professed mad dog lady who has not once written a blog about my doggos. Number two: there are not nearly [...]
There is literally no escaping the fact that the world right now is a scary place. We have terror attacks happening every other day, a Parliament who are in full control of our future but can't agree about anything (hello Brexit) and a couple of megalomaniac heads of state who may or may not blow [...]
