Travel-Sized Beauty Favourites for Your Next Holiday

Times are tough right now. As well as the ongoing societal problem of systematic and systemic racism against black people across the world, the Coronavirus pandemic continues. With many of us still abiding by lockdown restrictions, travelling has been severely disrupted. You may have had a holiday planned that’s been cancelled or postponed. You might have planned to take a quick trip away to escape the hustle and bustle of life. You probably planned a staycation to get away from your hometown for a short while. Regardless of your travel plans, it’s annoying to have to put things on hold.

Summer Lovin’

You've binge-watched Normal People, developed a mild case of repetitive strain injury from swiping left on boys who are 'just looking for a quarantine buddy ;)' and Love Island 2020 (much like my own love life) is cancelled.  If you're a hopeless romantic like myself and need your fix of summer lovin' in the absence of skin-tight white jeans peacocking around a firepit (I mock, but I've never missed an episode), then pick up a love story.

The Benefits of Meditation On Your Mental Health

Life is still a little on the crazy side right now… I mean, if you’d have asked me back in January what I thought I’d achieve this year, you can bet your bottom dollar I wouldn’t have said building a loungewear collection and not leaving my house for months, other than to go food shopping and walk the dog. No socialising… no holidays… not going into work… Life has literally been flipped upside down for a lot of people and now more than ever, it’s important to look after our mental health and wellbeing. Spending most of your time alone, or with the same few people in your household can also be hard, especially if you’re a natural social butterfly.

Quotes every Career Girl needs to hear

Do you ever wake up a Monday morning wanting to hide under your duvet and not face the world? Or perhaps the Sunday night dread kicks in and messes with your head.

Sometimes all you need is a little career quotivation to kickstart your week and change your outlook. Perhaps they’ll give you that little push to own the board room, ask for that raise, leave a job you hate or just become the confident person that you always know you were. Let’s start with Queen B…

“Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything?” - Beyonce

Do we really need to be labelled and put ourselves in to little boxes in life? We’re not clothes, we’re people, so if you are a bit of everything or not, don’t feel like you need to define yourself. The same goes for your work personality, you don’t have to label yourself as the one who likes to stay late. Get your work done by managing your time effectively and leave on time for once!

“
``What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.`` - Oprah

This is exactly it. Sometimes we do things just to get by but it’s important not to get stuck. Remind yourself daily of where you are and where you want to be and how you’re going to get there.

“
“I don't think I'm even close to fulfilling my potential.” - Kerry Washington

Don’t let the job hinder your potential either. If you feel you’ve done all you can do and there is no room for progression maybe it’s time to move on. And it’s okay to say to yourself that you’ve outgrown things – it’s life after all.

Now you’ve read this, go out there and be the go-getter you’ve always wanted to be.

There is a whole world out there waiting for you.

I have been in and out the Bloggersphere since the days of LiveJournal and when Tumblr was the originally ‘cool’ blogging platform. Over the years, this industry has changed so much, I do question if I am actually part of it or if I’m on the outskirts looking in. I wouldn’t say I was your ‘typical’ blogger either. I don’t care about getting the perfect flat lay or feeling bad for not posting, I just enjoy writing. If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading. Anyway, I love to travel, indulge in a glass of white wine, when plans are cancelled and purchase overpriced makeup. I guess that’s me in a nutshell, trying to figure out this thing called life, have fun and never lose sight.
