#SeptemberStudies- Diary do's and dont's!

By -


Diaries will save your life. I am not even kidding. Whenever I went stationery shopping I lusted over diaries, spending hours finding the perfect one. I would customise the 'homework diaries' school gave out- and I had them with me all the time. I made note of everything I had to do and when I had to do it, I colour coded things, wrote in different coloured pens...the whole shebang. What I'm saying is this; you need a diary. And, as with most things, there are some do's and dont's to follow. So listen up!

Do get a big enough diary. I don't care if you think smaller is better, it isn't. You need a diary that has enough space for you to write about all the things you need to do that day, and those tiny a6 one's just don't work. Week to view pages work the best (in my opinion anyway!)

Don't treat a diary like a chore. Your diary is your best friend now, okay? Treat it nicely. Fill it in when necessary. Don't neglect it.



Do pick a diary that is right for you! Obviously if you like plain diaries that's cool, but there's so many different graphics, patterns and designs you can choose from! Go crazy!

Don't go to Smiths to find your dream diary. Well, you can go there, but what I'm trying to say is make sure you shop around! There are so many stationery stores and so many stores that don't sell stationery specifically but do sell great diaries! Some inclue Tiger, Wilkinson, Paperchase, John Lewis, Scribbler, Smiggle, Blott, even online stores like Etsy! Have a good browse around first.



Do check your diary regularly throughout the day, in case you forget things! Check in the morning, at lunch and at the end of your day to keep up to date with all you need to do!

Don't use your diary for a week and then forget about it. Keep it somewhere you won't forget about it, e.g. in a handbag and get into the habit of using it so often that you can't forget about it!



What diary tips would you share with someone if you could? Let us all know in the comments below!

The final words to my ex.

Today's blog post is late, I know, but that's because it's been very hard for me to write.  This is going to be the last time I write about my ex boyfriend and my previous relationship. Effectively, I am giving it all a final goodbye.  Of course  I know my relationship ended on New Year's Eve. Unofficially, it probably ended long before then. I haven't seen my ex since 27th of December, since last year, which is a really weird thought. And whilst I had accepted it was over, I had a teeny tiny part of me that still loved him and hoped we would get back together.  I had deleted him from all social media except facebook, boxed up all of my things from him and taken down all of the photos. I got a new phone (by coincidental timing) and did not keep his number, nor did I send him my new one. But I kept him on facebook so we had some way of getting in touch should we need to talk about anything (getting back together).  And then I was told he wa...

Very Inspiring Blogger Award

By -
It never fails to make me smile when I get nominated for a bloggers award out of the blue, and it never fails to make me smile when I am called an inspiration- making my nomination for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award from A Blogs Life one that made me overly happy indeed! A Blogs Life is a very unique styled blog, and the only one of it's kind that I follow- it is run by all the family, which I think is incredibly sweet! So thank you to the whole lot of you for nominating me- I appreciate it more than you know! The Rules 1) After being nominated, write a post, starting off with a mention of the blogger who nominated you, as a small thank you to them! 2) Have a bit of fun and come up with seven facts about yourself.  3) Nominate 15 bloggers that inspire you for the award! The problem with being nominated for bloggers awards, is that they nearly always ask you for facts about yourself! On top of this, I recently did a post named "50 facts about me" ...

#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 -...
