A Really Useful Guide To Getting Your Style Mojo Back At Any Age

As I was approaching my forties, it occurred to me that I wasn't really inspired by what greeted me as I opened my wardrobe doors. Nothing felt as though it 'fit' who I was at that stage in my life. I'd lost my style mojo. The good news? I got it back and I'm going to share how I did it.

My 2023 Word Of The Year Was JOY

I'm happy to confirm that choosing a word and consciously circling back to it does in fact work! Turns out, that tuning into where you want to be or who you want to be and consistently using it as a 'North Star' is nothing short of wonderful.

The Reason Why ‘Thinking Positive’ Isn’t Always Easy

The negative stuff tends to shine like a beacon, roar like a lion and refuse to retreat. Positive stuff does happen, and we actively look for it, but it always feels outnumbered by the rough stuff, which starts to make us feel that we're doing something wrong, that we're broken, that we're really unlucky. Or all of the above.

Getting to Know Yourself: Journal Prompts for Self-Reflection and Growth

How to Make Sure You’re Getting the 7 Types of Rest You Need

Rest doesn’t just occur when we’re asleep. In fact, if we spend our days zipping and zooming from one task to another, multi-tasking and switching between tasks willy-nilly, then when we lay down at night, our brain will probably start swimming through all that happened, might happen, or will happen. Sleep might feel elusive. This is because we haven’t had enough rest during the day or not enough of the right type of rest.

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.

Readwise: A Really Nifty Tool For Your Kindle Highlights

As I read books on my Kindle, I tend to highlight the bits that resonate with me or the bits in non-fiction books which I'd like to action. All of these highlights are accessible on Amazon but I'm never sure what to do with them there. In the past, I've printed some and filed them but I prefer a paper-free digital office space. It felt as though I was highlighting and that those highlights would then just lurk around somewhere in the background, never to be acknowledged by me again.

An Easy Peasy Way to Create Your Own Colour Palettes in Canva

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.

Do Ideas Come To You In The Shower? Here’s Why

This 'ideas in the shower' phenomenon is so well-known and experienced that you can even buy waterproof shower notepads! Those of us who have experienced it will know the sheer desperation of holding the idea in your mind's eye while you scutter around naked, still soggy, trying to find something that'll let you capture it before it disappears again.
