Office inspiration

There's nothing quite like an office space, it's somewhere that can look completely Pinterest worthy, and then for me makes me feel more motivated. I find it so much easier to get done if I sit at a desk. Although where I live right now, I have no room for a desk, let alone an office area, it doesn't stop me from dreaming. As usual, I have spent a large amount of time drooling over beautiful offices on Pinterest, when I should have been working but here are some of my favourite office areas. they look a dream to work on!

How to take care of yourself during a bad body image day

So I thought I would go through our old tumblr posts to get some inspiration for new posts when I came across something that I had reblogged a while ago. While I'm not sure who initially wrote this, I figured it was best to keep where I had got this from as a link on the bottom so feel free to check this person out. I may be in recovery but there are still quite a few days where I am having a bad day for my body image. It's hard to learn to love yourself again and I appreciate it when I come across things that give me that extra boost to get me through the day. I just figured that you guys deserved to have something that you could come and look at if you needed that boost and I am going to find more things like this and make a collection of them to help all of us. 

27 things that make me happy

Sometimes when I'm finding it hard to stay positive during the day, I try to think about all of the little things in life that make me happy. If I surround myself with these things then it generally works wonders for turning my day around. We don't need huge flashy gifts and loads of money to feel loved and happy. In a world that often seems so full of negativity, I wanted to share with you all some of the small things that make me happy!

5 ways to practice self kindness

Self kindness is such a simple concept and yet very few of us actually take the time out of our day in which to actually share some positivity with ourselves. We value ourselves as 'good people' if we are kind towards other people and we take pride in making other people smile, so why is such a wild concept to do the same for ourselves. Everyone wants to be happy in life, and some days this emotion is easy to feel, sometimes it isn't. Simple little bits of kindness that we show ourselves can make or break these situations. If you're having a bad day then its easy to wallow rather than be empathetic with the situation you're in and how you are feeling. It's time to react to your own life situations the way we would if it were a loved ones issues.

How to Spring clean your blog

It's officially Spring now so that means that everything is looking fresh and new. Flowers are starting to bloom and (hopefully) the sun is shining and the weather is getting warmer. Whenever this hits, we always just want to throw open the windows and rid ourselves of the stuffiness of winter and so we begin our spring cleaning to give our homes the same kind of fresh feel. Something that is also great to do is giving your blog the same kind of treatment. Let's not forget that the longer you have been blogging for, the more posts you have piling up from back in the day which you now think are completely cringe worthy. Make your blog something that you're proud of from beginning to end!

A-Z of Recovery: Loving yourself

When we talk about looking after ourselves, it's easy to only think about the physical. Everyone things about the food that they ate and whether it was "good" or not, then they think about the typical daily exercise and scrutinize that as well. Looking after yourself is a way of showing yourself love, and it's not just physical, you have to think about your emotional well-being as well. It's about accepting the good days with the bad, not feeling guilty if there are more bad days than you want. It's about making positive changes to help yourself get through the day.

Rainy days

One of the most stereotypical  (but true) things about Britain is that 90% of the time it's raining.  Luckily for me I love the rain so it never bothered me all that much. For some people it can be a pain, especially when you make plans or you want to do something fun but the weather gets in the way. Rainy days at home don't have to be boring thought, here are some of my favourite things to do when I have a free day in the rain.

Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror: Messages to yourself

One of the most common things that we can do as human beings is look in the mirror and find faults. Lets be honest, we all have them... and that's okay. What's not okay is the amount of imaginary faults that we find within ourselves on a daily basis. We find issues with the choices that we have made, the people that are no longer in our lives and often place all of the blame onto ourselves.
