Books, stationery, and wellbeing
If feeling poorly this week has proved anything it's that you should sleep when you need to. Sounds simple, right? But when our lives are so busy (I'm trying to balance a job, this blog, family life and some half-arsed attempt at a social life), sleep can fall down the list of priorities. There are… Continue reading Self-Care Sunday #4
It's definitely a mixed bag of fave posts this week, including blogging tips, opening up about mental health, graphic novel recommendations and travel guides. I'm planning on redesigning/relaunching my blog by the end of the month (eek!) and I've found so many helpful posts this week on growing your blog and social media. I'm hoping… Continue reading Saturday Share #88
Self-Care Sunday is a new blog series where I'll be sharing my weekly self-care tips. The idea started as a way to take some time for myself at least once each week (rather than sporadically) but I hope that sharing them will encourage others to do the same - especially stressed out working mums! Half… Continue reading Self-Care Sunday #2 with Mental Movement
Early responses from my reader survey indicate that there's not much interest in my Sunday Snapshot posts and people want to see more mental health posts, so I'm trialing a new blog series ahead of my redesign: Self-Care Sundays. I've been really crap at taking regular time for myself and I think these posts will… Continue reading Self-Care Sunday #1

I love reading book reviews from people who have just read one of my favourite books for the first time. Anastasia is no longer a Jane Austen virgin! I've… Continue reading Saturday Share #84
It's strange how the mere act of reading Breathe makes me feel more relaxed. After four issues I'd definitely recommend it.
My 2017 bullet journal set-up is nearly ready to share - it took me an age just to decide what notebook I was going to use! I think stickers and washi tape are the way to go for me creatively as I'm not an artist but still want it to look pretty and colourful. I… Continue reading Item of the day: Simple reminders stickers from Department Store for the Mind at Not on the High Street
There are so many awesome subscription services out there but one that really stands out is the Buddy Box from Blurt. Blurt is a small but fantastic team of people dedicated to supporting people with depression. Their monthly Buddy Box is a beautiful care package providing people with a hug in a box. It's packed… Continue reading Review: #BlurtBuddyBox
I didn't manage to get a post up last week so this one is packed full of recommended reading, including Christmas gift guides, additions to my TBR list and must-see places. Check out all these lovely blog posts! I love reading everyone's Christmas gift guides. Helen's recommendations for toddlers are amazing - I love the… Continue reading Saturday Share #74
In the wake of the Presidential Election, the blogosphere has been filled with posts on solidarity, feminism and feel-good quotes. Here's a look at what I've loved reading this week. Molly's post on the trouble with toddlers is my favourite read of the week! I loved Hayley's post on her fave indie movies. It reminded… Continue reading Saturday Share #73
