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.

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.

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.

Turn Your Handwriting Into A Font (It’s *So* Easy)

Right up there in the things that bring me jolts of joy are colour palettes and fonts. I just love how they bring projects, even personal ones, to life; giving them an energy and identity of their own.
