How to Get Unstuck: Some Ideas To Help

Life is truly riotous. It's not a clĂ­che when they say it's a rollercoaster; full of ups and downs. Just as we appreciate spring so much because it comes after a stark and chilly winter, without life's obstacles, we wouldn't appreciate life's great times so much, they'd be without contrast. That's not to say that the downs aren't difficult, demanding and draining. Because, let's face it, sometimes they're so tricky that we can get awfully stuck in them.

It's something that's spanned my life, this love of colour. I'd collect paint charts as a kid, create mood boards from the Argos Catalogue and sort my large collection of Crayola Crayons into colour order in the fancy schmancy crayon holder I had. Since then, I've pulled together colour palettes for book covers, products, mood boards for DIY and 'just for fun' and I want to show you how you can do so too.

THE Fatigue-Fighting Blueberry Smoothie

I'm so happy with this recipe because I ended up with a delicious, creamy, satisfying, well-balanced, energy-boosting concoction. The combination of antioxidants, natural sugars, healthy fats, fibre, and essential nutrients from these ingredients seems to have helped me to combat both physical and mental fatigue.

A Christmas Gift Guide for Pre-Teen Girls

I do not like choosing gifts for people. In fact, it's a huge source of stress for me. Will they like it? Do they already have it? What if they pretend to like it? What if they're disappointed? Thankfully, we have a long-held family tradition of sharing gift lists and I'm really grateful we do. With that in mind, and because this pre-teen age is one I find tricky to buy for, I roped Peggy into helping me craft this gift guide for pre-teen girls in the hope it'll help you in the same way our lists help me.
