Happy Friday everyone! A few years ago I came across the 100 Happy Days Project on 100HappyDays.com. Such a simple premise but I didn’t realise how much it could improve my life.

Left to my own devices I will happily binge-watch old episodes of Grey’s Anatomy (sorry, not sorry) but he prefers something a little more educational – so it’s off to the documentary section we go!… Read More Minimalism
Supposedly, today is International Calm Day, so I thought it was an ideal opportunity for this post. I mentioned here the changes I’ve been trying to make to my morning routine and some of the tools that I have recently been using as ways to better start my day.
