When I saw that it was Mental Health Awareness wee When I saw that it was Mental Health Awareness week and the theme was wear something green I thought I can totally get on board with that! 💚 Not only for my love of all things green, but I really believe that a problem shared is a problem halved. And if I can use this platform for good, even better. I know I need some more positivity in my feed, and we can all end up comparing ourselves. It’s so important to talk about our worries and anxieties, and I mean really talk. I’ve had the courage to share and be more vulnerable over the past few years and the one thing that has helped is talking and finding solidarity. We all have our hidden struggles and I think you’ll find that when you open up, you find there’s something almost universal about the way we all think and it helps you feel less like a stranger in your own head, worrying what’s wrong with me or why am I like this?! Because you find underneath it all we’re probably all worrying about the same things just never saying anything. Sending lots of love to anyone out there going through something 💚

It’s all about the simple everyday moments ✨ home It’s all about the simple everyday moments ✨ home to me isn’t the big makeover projects or grand gestures, it’s not perfect and it’s not a performance, it’s the simple little moments you elevate, with a favourite ceramic cup, home cooking, gathering round the table and an artfully undone table 💚
Little things that have brought me infinite joy la Little things that have brought me infinite joy lately 💫 it’s the small things not the big moments - homemade banana bread, the start of a new book, finally getting round to putting up some family photos (never knowing where to put them), silver shoes which give me a spring in my step, new stationery, beautiful wisteria, and slow days at home 💛 have a great new week everyone! 😘

A room of one’s own 💫 I used to hate working in an A room of one’s own 💫 I used to hate working in an office, I could never concentrate, and I’m sure that had something to do with ADHD - I need absolute quiet (even the sound of typing or chewing arghh!!), and I love having a calm, clutter-free space to work in (I can procrastinate clean like it’s a sport). Added these cork boards above my desk and they just complete it nicely, adding just enough detail (for me), a living mood board to change around as I feel like it 💛 happy Friday 🫶🏼
