Happy New Year! A lot of people often start a new year with hopes, dreams and prospects for the days that are yet to be written but the one wish that I have for myself and everyone else is to have a 2016 that is filled with happiness. So I thought, why not document all of the …

Blogmas #5 | The 30-Day Generosity Challenge

Another Monday closer to Christmas, another day crossed off our calendars and another chocolate eaten in our advents! This is my favourite time of year because it's filled with love and smiling faces, it's the season of goodwill and there's no better way to spread joy and happiness than generosity. Often, generous acts are part of our …

Lifestyle | Fun Ways To Celebrate World Kindness Day

         There are so many things that we have to be thankful for: friends, family, jobs and even pets but it's so easy to get wrapped up in our busy lives and take the people that we see every day for granted. World Kindness Day (13th Nov) acts as a reminder to pause, count …

Motivational Monday | Lukewarm Is No Good

This is a short but sweet Motivational Monday entry because the quote says it all. It's important to be an enthusiast about life because what will having a glass-half-empty attitude achieve? You don't know how many more trips around the sun you have, so no matter what difficulties or problems you're currently facing, sometimes you need to brush …

September 2015 | Favourite Songs

Since I've been on vacation for (pretty much) the whole of September, I had very few products in my possession and out of the items that I did take with me, Maybelline Anti-Age Eraser Eye Concealer and Makeup Revolution's Mermaids VS.

In the family-comedy sports movie The Sandlot (1993), young baseball players hurl insults back and forth, when 'Ham' blurts out "You play ball like a girl!" ...but what does that mean? When did the connotation become negative and why? The leading consumer product company, Proctor …

Motivational Monday | Love Or Fear?

“I'd rather end up wishing I hadn’t than end up wishing I had.” - Leo Tolstoy I love this quote. It tells you to take risks and chances, without allowing fear to debilitate you. Are you always going to land on your feet? Probably not... but that's alright, at least you tried. How will you ever …

Motivational Monday | “Pleased to Meet You”

  After reading the Blogging101 assignment today, I decided to incorporate WordPress' Daily Prompt into my Motivational Monday post. I was considering the "pleased to meet you" prompt in terms of people that are part of our lives, whether that is for a passing second or a growing relationship over a number of years. It's plaintive …

Motivational Monday | #UseYourAnd

For this weeks Motivational Monday I was inspired by Gillette Venus' new global campaign that motivates people, all of us, to step outside of one-dimensional labels, even those that could be viewed as positive, because they limit our potential. When we think of labels, we think of being boxed into categories that often carry negative connotations. …

Motivational Monday | How To Be Happy & Healthy In 2015!

The only wish that I ever have for a new year is to be happy and healthy, I've found over time that I have been able to achieve this by only making very small adjustments to my lifestyle. So whilst I'm certainly no 'happiness' doctor (even though that would be a swell job) and I'm not naive …
