The Creativity Tank.

Friday, 29 January 2016








Happy Friday everyone! How are you? It is FINALLY the last weekend of January! I don't know about you, but this may have been the longest month of my life! I guess that 'New Year Gumption' never really kicked in, and while I've actually had an amazingly productive, busy and happy month, I'm definitely feeling a little drained.

The part of me that has felt particularly drained lately, has been my creativity tank. You know that tank that everyone has that fuels new ideas and gives you the energy to make those ideas happen? And I truly believe everyone has a creativity tank. Sure some peoples tank is a little bigger than others, some peoples tank is a little rusty and in need of repair, and other people have that tank but have never really known what to do with it. Whatever the state of it, everyone has one.


Happy Friday #5 & a Catch Up...

Friday, 30 October 2015


Happy Friday everyone! How are you? This has been a long week right? Normally when life is as full as it has been lately I feel like the weeks pass in a blink of an eye, but not lately. This is probably because at the moment I'm going through a period of adjustment, my usual weekly routines, both at work and at home, have been thrown up in the air, and I'm still waiting to see what order they land in. 

One of those routines has been blogging, but also, eating properly, sleeping normal hours (which I guess has never really been a routine) and having real weekends. I'm not complaining too much though, while I might not feel like the best version of myself, I am enjoying this phase of change. Sometimes you need those routines to be shook up a little bit so that you can create new ones and go about them with a whole new energy, and that's what I'm going to dedicate this weeks happy list too, those moments that I've managed to steal, scrape and squish in, that have not only kept me sane, but also made me feel like I could get used to this upheaval after all...

Travel | Venice...

Friday, 23 October 2015


Happy Friday everyone! How on EARTH are you? It's been pretty quiet around here lately, I've had quite a bit on my plate, and just generally not felt like the best version of myself, but I will save that for Monday, because today I want to FINALLY get around to sharing some photos from Venice with you!

I say finally, it has only really been a fortnight, but my lord it feels like months ago, and besides I can't put it off too much longer because the young man and I are heading to Berlin at the end of next month, and I'm already looking forward to that, and dont want Venice to be forgotten about. Not that I think I could ever really forget about Venice. I completely and utterly fell head over heels with the place. Me and my mum, both agreed, it has quickly become one of our favourites.


Happy Friday #4...

Friday, 16 October 2015


Hey everyone! Sorry I've been a little quiet this week, straight back off holiday and straight into a full week of work both at my day job and on my freelance stuff. But I shan't complain because I'm happy to be busy, and because it is Friday!

This weekend I've got a date night with the young man planned and a Sunday stroll around a park, weather permitting! I'm also very much looking forward to a lie in!  But enough about things to come, here is what's made me happy lately...

Happy Friday #3...

Friday, 2 October 2015


Happy Friday everyone! How are you? So guess what happens when you only post a happy list every fortnight? You accumulate a TON of stuff to smile about that's flipping what! Is it just me or have the last two weeks utterly flown by? Sometimes it feels like all these moments pile up on top of one another and while you're in it, and loving it, you're also not really appreciating it, and a bit scared that some things will pass you by unnoticed. Then, as a blogger and writer, there are other times when I feel like I spend so much time documenting what has happened, that I am also missing out on other things that are currently happening. Maybe I should just appreciate that I am lucky enough to have a life full of moments that are worth appreciating and capture as many of them as I can. Speaking of which on to the happy list...
