If you thought this blog post was going to help turn you into the perfect friend magnet then well, you have come to the completely wrong blog. This post is more of a me asking for help on this subject rather than me helping you. Sorry about that. I have been thinking lately about how [...]

Big Things, Little Things
I am feeling very pleased with myself. I have published a blog post or sometimes even two every day for 12 days. If blogging is your job (lucky you) then this wouldn't seem groundbreaking, but for me it is so rewarding for a couple of reasons. I think I may have mentioned before that I [...]
Daily Prompt #2
What makes you most anxious? Can I say everything? Because I tend to keep my day to day life pretty ‘safe’ I don’t really need to get nervous over big things like flying or public speaking but it’s the little things that affect me. I get anxious talking to people on the phone that I [...]
Shelf Help Book Club
I found out about The Shelf Help Book Club by listening to The Calmer You podcast with Chloe Brotheridge. Toni Jones was a guest on an episode of the podcast and I was intrigued. I love listening to lots of different types of audiobooks but there is something special about listening to self help books [...]

Can Sleep. Won’t Sleep.
As you might have noticed if you were kind enough to read them from my last two blog posts, I am pregnant. I also mentioned in my previous post that I was in shock when I first found out and struggled a bit with certain aspects of expecting a baby. One of those aspects is [...]
Life Begins At 40
Isn't life funny? Life begins at 40. I have heard that saying so many times, haven't we all? But I never thought it would be truly relevant to me. I had a modelling career which inevitably ended when I got 'too old' (I was about 28 years old), I had a struggle with fertility, I [...]
Found My Happy Place
I am admittedly quite late to the party but I thought I would do a review of a podcast I have just started listening to recently. I really love podcasts. I listen to them when driving in the car, when walking in the forest and when I am cooking dinner. I started off my obsession [...]
