Staying organised!

By -


I literally juggle 1,000 tasks at once. My to do list very day seems to be endless, and yet somehow I nearly always manage to get everything done- if not on that day, then by the end of the week. Today I thought I'd share with you some top tips for helping to keep on top of work loads and to stay organised.

1) Know your limits. It's okay to take on huge amounts of work- if you can handle it. Start out with a small load of jobs, and if you feel you can take on more, add one task at a time until you feel you're approaching your limit. Always make sure you don't feel too much pressure/strain and are comfortable with the tasks you have to do.

2) Keep more than one diary. That's right, more than one- one for work and one for your personal life. Alternatively, keep two diaries but write your personal and work in both. Then if you lose one, you have a back up and won't struggle. Either way, keep more than one diary! I have four. 


3) Write to-do lists. It helps you to remember what you have to do every day, and it is motivating to be able to cross things off of your list. It also helps you feel motivated to achieve more the following day when you look back at the end of a day and see just how much you've been able to achieve!

4) Set aside time to look after yourself. You need to eat properly, have some down time to read or watch TV and have at least 8 hours sleep a night! (Okay, this isn't always possible, but try for 6 at least!).

5) Leave one day a week to take time off. That's right. Give yourself a day off. This will motivate you, particularly if you're taking on a trillion tasks in one day! You can make plans on your 'day off' that you can look forward to to help you get through the week.

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

By -

Friday 27th February 2015 saw the grand event that was a fashion show in London for the fabulous charity, Children with Cancer UK. I was invited to the event about 2 weeks ago as a blogger, to cover the event and raise awareness of the charity. I was honored to have been asked to do so, as the charity is really just so important, as well as super excited to cover a fashion show, as this was something I had never done before! The night was a huge success, and the display of talent was extremely impressive- from the designers work, to the various acts performing in between! The venue was fairly glamorous, based at The Building Centre in London, and upon entry we received glasses of wine, nibbles and goody bags, as well as having the opportunity to mingle with some of the other guests before the show began. When it was time for the show to start, I went to try and seat myself- only to find that because I was "press", I needed to get myself a press pass (which I was thri

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek - Body Image and Mental Health

By -

This week (13th - 20th May 2019) is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is Body Image - how we think and feel about our bodies.  Those of you who have followed me for some time will know that for about two years now, if not more, I have been an advocate for body positivity and self love. More recently, you may have seen me featured in a story in The Metro , talking about a body shaming incident I experienced on holiday and how I dealt with it.  There's absolutely no denying that there is a direct correlation between body image and our mental health. I know that personally, when I'm experiencing a "bad body day" and don't feel very positively about my body, for whatever reason, my mental health goes down the drain too. Yet when we feel good about our bodies, this can be reflected in our mental health too.  When I experienced body shaming in my bikini on holiday, I felt the lowest I had in a while. I believed the words I'd heard -

Eating Disorders- the Blunt Truth.

WARNING:  The following content is sensitive and me be triggering to those suffering from, recovering from or who have recovered from eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia and other health problems such as depression. As I sit down in my local pub ready to tuck into my generous portion of gammon and chips, I feel a prickle on the back of my neck- that all to familiar feeling of knowing that someone is staring at you. As I whip my head around the dining area, my eyes fall on the slender figure of a girl, probably around my age, maybe a few years younger, looking at me with disgust in her eyes- disgust clearly at the way I look and what I'm eating. I feel fat, bulky, uncomfortable and I let my glance fall to her own plate, noticing she has a salad, mostly untouched. She sips constantly at her water like it's the only thing keeping her alive. It probably is. It is a sad but true statistic that over half of teenage girls and one third of teenage boys use unhealthy wei
