What are you doing?
How do you spend your free time? I play games, read, watch telly. All the usual stuff. I’m inclined to say I watch maybe too much telly, but there are so many good things on. That’s no excuse though. I know. So what am I doing? Books I’m always reading a couple of things at…

Being supportive to those with depression
For some people it can be difficult to understand what someone with depression goes through. I get that, it’s hard sometimes to empathise with others when you haven’t experienced what they are dealing with yourself and that can be tough for friends and family of someone dealing with depression or any mental illness.

The Day in Pictures
I’m thankful that I have some pretty amazing bosses and I have the flexibility to not only work 10-6 instead of 9-5 but that since the house move and my commute being tripled, I’m able to work from home one day a week. Usually I’m home on Tuesdays, unless I need to be home another…

Travel Wardrobe
With my upcoming trip to the States I’m always thinking about outfits that will be good to travel with. I like to travel light (Hubby may disagree slightly, but I’m not that bad really!) so I try to take the necessities and as little as I can get away with of anything else. When we…

Happy Autumn!
I love a good bank holiday weekend. Life has gotten pretty busy the last month and this past weekend was one of two weekends we have free until November 7th. Crazy! I personally revelled in having no plans. We were possibly going to see friends but they weren’t feeling great which meant we had absolutely no plans…
