Monthly Faves – June

Well, 2020 is turning out to be quite the year. It has been mentally and emotionally draining so far. As a way to boost my mood, I decided to start a little monthly segment here on the blog sharing a roundup of what I'm loving - some new, some old, some random bits, some thematic... I value recommendations from friends so thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and share my faves. Without further ado, here's what has been "sparking joy". The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse This book is brin[...]

It's set to be a scorcher next week - and I'm not mad at that. As lockdown has eased, we can now meet up with friends and family for social distanced picnics or outdoor fun which means wardrobe upgrade! Can I get an "amen"? It doesn't hurt to get out of the loungewear and feel and look great during these tougher times. Si[...]

Lockdown Home Purchases

Well, it has been a while since I wrote about interiors - which is very odd as it's one of the areas that I am particularly interested in. I got to say that for a moment, in the earlier months of lockdown, I was very apprehensive of ordering anything online because you know, CORONAVIRUS! However, I decided to get on with a few jobs around the house including decluttering, painting my living room and hallway as well as getting some stuff done in the garden.

Wellness Essentials

I had the best time this past weekend. With everything going on (or not as the case may be), I really needed a treat and a pick me up.

I had a full day of taking care of everything from head to toe - my mind, body and spirit. Without a doubt it was the best day ever - a brand woman emerged - ready to take on the world once again.

Tips For Working From Home

Working from home has somewhat become the norm in these uncertain times. I have worked from home on and off over the years - and to be completely honest - I have found myself to be most efficient at home. I am able to focus and be more efficient. And as a bonus no stuffy suits are required and rather selfishly, I can decorate my space the way I want to (I worked in a rather bright lime green office once - needed my sunglasses indoors - hated it - gave me a headache!). Productivity at home[...]

Anyone else sick and tired of the rain - and the news? I sure am tired of layering up, heavy coats, grey skies, and a low mood! So in the spirit of willing for some sunshine and lifting my spirits, I started pulling together my spring wardrobe. You know the drill by now- I am a believer that your budget need[...]

Garden Renovation Plans

You may recall from this post , that we have been planning to do some work on our garden. One of the things that sold our home to us is that our garden space is large enough for the 3 of us, and for entertaining and as a bonus, we have a large open communal space at the front of our house where my daughter can run around with her friends to her heart's content. While the communal space at the front is well looked after, our garden has been somewhat neglected. When we bought the house a c[...]
