I am a big advocate of practising self-love and self-care and make sure I do it daily – in fact, I have blocked out time on my calendar for it – you know the saying; if it’s not scheduled – it’s not happening! “Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have …
I recently read an article; ‘To Make the Weekend Last Longer, Try Something New’ which inspired me to write this post; ‘Taking a Healthy Break’. The majority of us wait for the weekend to come so we can slow down, relax, spend quality time with family and friends and so on – BUT… How about we …
We find ourselves in the third week of the third lockdown here in the UK, and hopefully, this will be the last. Working from home has blurred the lines between work and play and it can be hard to distinguish between the two – I know I’ve struggled with it (and still do) at times. …
