A couple of days ago I dug out a book I've had for years and never actually read *whoops* Years ago I used to do collages, and I love being arty, especially if it's something for the house. I've finally started reading it and the first idea/project is to create a boat. I'm not a… Continue reading Being Crafty
Isn’t It Ironic…
It's been a hectic and stressy few days. I don't feel like I've had a minute to myself and self care has been very thin on the ground *sighs* Back in 2007 I bought a brass sign from eBay as I wanted something to put up in our (then) hallway. I'd always planned to paint… Continue reading Isn’t It Ironic…
Netflix & Chomp
Yesterday I binged watched The Goop Lab with Gwyneth Paltrow whilst munching my way through 1/2 a packet of chocolate peanuts (that weren't that nice by the way, but hey, it was chocolate!). Poor old Gwyneth gets a lot of stick (just read the article above). But I thoroughly enjoyed it, and learnt a lot.… Continue reading Netflix & Chomp
Being Enough
I was having a bit of a CBA day yesterday (can't be arsed). Which was funny as the #teamtomm podcast was on that exact topic. Yesterday was kitchen day (on the #teamtomm schedule), but as I'd already given it a once over on Wednesday morning (we had a house viewing) all that needed doing was… Continue reading Being Enough
Colours
Yesterday (as part of my #lessisnow challenge) I decided to sort through my pens. Woah...I didn't realise I had so many. I don't think I'll have to buy another one for years lol. I threw out (actually they're in a bag to go to the charity shop) over 150 pens, most of which were Biro's,… Continue reading Colours
The Power of Change
When we moved into this house we had a spare room downstairs. It was always going to be the library (I always wanted a library lol). I even bought two 7 foot bookcases at an auction in London four years ago to house my large collection of books (what can I say, books are my… Continue reading The Power of Change
My First Week With Less Stuff
Yesterday marked my first complete week of the #lessisnow challenge. I thought I'd start upstairs and work my way down, so the spare room is done and I'm now tackling my bedroom. I thought it would be really hard. As I said before, I'm a bit of a hoarder lol...but I can't even begin to… Continue reading My First Week With Less Stuff
The M Word…
I had an awful day yesterday. I felt (and still feel) utterly exhausted. I had a pounding headache all day and havent eaten anything since yesterday lunchtime as I felt sick. I feel like I have a hangover, with none of the fun part (ie consuming the alcohol in the first place). The only self… Continue reading The M Word…
Manifesting
I'm signed up to receive e-mails from the BBC website, giving me links to articles I might find of interest. Yesterday one of their links sent me to a video entitled "How Manifesting Became the New Big Wellness Trend" I did the whole ask the universe and Law of Attraction thing a few years ago… Continue reading Manifesting
