Not too long ago I was basking in the peace and quiet of a beautiful yurt at Alde Garden campsite. We stayed for two nights and it was rather wonderful, to be honest. Yes, I took lots of photos…it was needed!

Decompress

19th June 2018.Reading time 8 minutes.

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. Did you know over 500,000 people are suffering frorm work-related stress, depression or […]

Being Authentically Me

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 […]

10 Little Things That Make Me Happy!

17th May 2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

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 […]

Dark moments

9th March 2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

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 […]

Café Domenica

Last week I popped along to Café Domenica for a spot of lunch with Lyndsay from Fizzy Peaches.

After enjoying a […]

My Mental Health

14th October 2016.Reading time 7 minutes.

OK so this is a hard one to write. I’ve done this as a bit of a follow up to my SAD Tips post, it came to my attention that it may have come across as a bit flippant etc, which was not my intention, it’s just one of my many coping mechanisms. Right, I’m […]

Ways to deal with Seasonal Affective Disorder

7th October 2016.Reading time 5 minutes.

I know I’m not alone on this front, the joy of the darker weather and shorter days. I find myself struggling to get out of bed, complete my to-do lists and generally just be human. Please note, I am very aware of how serious this situation can get and if you need to speak to […]

Overwhelmed

5th August 2016.Reading time 8 minutes.

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 […]
