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 Letter To You If You Don’t Have ‘A Village’

Dear You, They say "It takes a village" and you hate that saying because it's a stark and painful reminder that you don't have one. It hurts, it rankles and it smarts doesn't it?! I know that you often feel alone, depleted, invisible and torn. As though there's nowhere or no one in which to turn for help. You might at times feel jealous of those who do have support. Anger, too, at your circumstances. Regret for the choices you may have made. Despair at the choices which felt as though they were taken from you. Exhaustion at the monotony of it all, wishing and wanting and needing a break.

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.

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. Because I'm at 'that age' where fatigue is a thing with all of the hormonal changes, I wanted to share this recipe with anyone who may find themselves in the same boat.

Mind + Body: The Physical Toll of Chronic Stress

We’ve all heard the term ‘bottled up’ used to describe when someone might suppress, mask, or refrain from showing their feelings. It turns out that we can literally bottle up our emotions by storing them within our bodies.

Why Kidpreneurs Are So Exciting And What We Can Learn From Them

How To Choose Your ‘Word Of The Year’

Last week I shared what my word of 2023 was and how staying committed to it changed a great deal in my life. It was the first time I'd ever made a beginning-of-the-year intention and stuck with it. I could fill reams of paper with the New Year's Resolutions I wrote over the years (since I was a teeneager!) and promptly forgot or put down.

We celebrate birthdays in our family hard. They allow us to celebrate the people we adore in the most rambunctious ways.
