Recently, these past few days I’ve been feeling like that small child that never wants to get up in time for school, but is up at the crack of dawn at the weekends and holidays (if you’re a parent you’ll know what I mean). But today, although I naturally woke up at 6.30am, I forced myself to go back to sleep, thinking I’d be up again in an hour or…
You'd think that when we know that food is difficult to find in the shops and that we aren't going out to buy food until it's completely and utterly necessary, that I would be eating smaller portions to make it all last longer. Add to that the fact that we can't go to the gym, you'd think I'd make a conscious effort to eat healthier and more consciously. Major fail.
Hello, and how are you? Last night (ok, late last night!) I wrote a blog post which was basically a bit of a ‘clearing the fog’ from my brain and got me realising how much I’ve been missing blogging. Sometimes it takes a bit of a break to appreciate how much you need something in your life, so here I am again today, having a chat with you all over…
We've been home and in a kind of self-made self-isolation for just over a week now, but today is the first day that schools are closed and our imagined norm is now a new reality...
As "staying is the new going out", for Mother's Day lunch yesterday, IF we had gone out, I would have been shopping my own wardrobe as I’m trying to buy as little as possible this month... I thought #FrugalFebruary was over but with the current uncertainty, who knows how long this will last? And in what shape the economy will be when we come out the other side?
For so many of you who've never had to work from home before, this is going to be your new norm for the foreseeable future and I know it'll take some adjusting to. I've been working from home for over a decade, as a PR consultant, freelance beauty and lifestyle writer and editor and more recently, as a content creator and influencer. Always juggling it with family life (three kids, two cats and a husband) and an extended family that all lives close by. So I thought it might be helpful to jot down a few of the ways to make this new norm easier on you and those around you :)
