It can also lead to increased anxiety, jealousy and unhappiness – all of which are things I have experienced over the past year. For …
A Simple Slice of Sunday Thoughts
It’s been ten days since my last blog post. I don’t think I’ve ever left it this long before between posts. There’s a ton of things I want to write about, but honestly I’ve just felt so demoralised to do anything this week. I try not to be so openly negative on my blog, but …
9 Life Lessons That Taylor Swift’s ‘Fearless’ Taught Me
Twelve year old me would be screaming right now (just as twenty-five year old me is). I haven’t exactly made it a big secret on my blog that I’m a Taylor Swift fan, so it should be no surprise to anyone when I say that ‘Fearless’ changed my life. In my early years at secondary …

The Benefits Of A Weighted Blanket
Getting to sleep at night over the past year has been a real struggle.

A couple of days ago I dropped my water bottle and it cracked. Under normal circumstances this would have been such an insignificant event in my life; I’d just dispose of it and move on. The water bottle was of no sentimental value to me and I could easily just get a new one. It wasn’t a big deal and yet, for some reason, I cried over it.
