Decompress
It seems to have become the norm to talk about how stressed we are, how none of us have the time to catch up…let me just check my calendar for a month from now….how we’re overwhelmed by all the things we have to do.

Deep breath. OK. So, something a bit different today, I fancied a chat about what has been going on, what I’m up to and all that jazz. 2018 is the year I’m going to focus more on the fraudy feelings, or impostor syndrome as it’s most commonly known! I attended a conference at the end […]

Read More10 Little Things That Make Me Happy!
Lately I’ve been caught up in either work, moving out of the flat, or getting our travels organised. This has meant my blogging has taken a bit of a side line…plus I feel like a bit of a whirling dervish, except much less graceful. So I thought it would be nice to sit down, listen […]
Read MoreDark moments
Those dark little moments. We all have them. Right? When we’re at our most tired, when our hormones are being asses or when we’ve not eaten! Feed me always. However they arrive, they do and they cast a long shadow on all that is good. *Picture Mufasa explaining to Simba about everything the light touches..except for […]
Read MoreCafé Domenica
Last week I popped along to Café Domenica for a spot of lunch with Lyndsay from Fizzy Peaches.

So in the last few days I’ve had a mini meltdown of sorts. So all the weeping, self doubt and general need to hide under a stone. I didn’t want to keep moving forward with my start up, I didn’t know enough, there are people doing it better…all sorts of negative thoughts spinning around my […]
