The week started with my car breaks deciding to give up on me and so a trip to my parents for breakfast involved a detour to the garage to abandon my wheels and alas, a few days later my wages were spent before I had even received them on break discs and pads… not the … Continue reading Weekly Scrapbook #5
Discovering a Birmingham beyond the Bullring
Birmingham is a city I felt I hadn’t really got to know. I absolutely loved the botanical gardens, becoming one of my favourite green spaces, but the actual city I had become to see as ‘the busy bit of the M6 that makes the regular drives to Bristol a nightmare’. I used to visit the … Continue reading Discovering a Birmingham beyond the Bullring
Weekly Scrapbook #4
I feel this week has been a real pivotal one, lots of challenges overcome and lessons learnt! I started a new job, which had been a real goal of mine after being off work due to my anxiety for a while now. And I really enjoyed it and though there were a few tears leading … Continue reading Weekly Scrapbook #4
Believing in Yourself
I had been meaning to write an update to managing my anxiety, but had put it off and hadn’t quite known why. But today, waking with the worst anxiety I have experienced in a while – I realise I didn’t want to revisit ‘anxiety’ when I was feeling at my best. Lately I have been … Continue reading Believing in Yourself

I had been asked by the lovely Gabbi at Love and Light Shala Studio to take some photographs for them … Continue reading Weekly Scrapbook #2
Weekly Scrapbook #1
This post is inspired by one of my favourite fashion bloggers, Lizzy Hadfield (Shot from the Street), whereby she posts a weekly scrapbook as a way of documenting her week. I thought this was a great idea for a weekly post, since I always have my camera on me and snap things as I go … Continue reading Weekly Scrapbook #1
Creating a Home Yoga Sanctuary
The beauty of yoga is that it can be practiced anywhere, and in particular, easily at home. This is how I began my yoga journey, teaching myself the basic poses, and finding pockets of time in the morning/evening to practice in the comfort of my own little space. I am now attending classes at the … Continue reading Creating a Home Yoga Sanctuary
Book Club : A Round-up of some recent favourites
I love reading, it's a huge passion of mine and I can always be found curled up in a corner for hours reading. I have always made time for it, and see it as an important part of my week. I wanted to share a few books that I have been inspired by, enjoyed and … Continue reading Book Club : A Round-up of some recent favourites
Attending my first New Moon Circle
Last night I went to my first Women's New Moon Circle at Love and Light Shala Studio, and it inspired me to write this post this morning. I get a lot anxiety about entering a space of people I don't know, immediately feeling self conscious, so try to avoid putting myself in that place. I … Continue reading Attending my first New Moon Circle
