#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!

Children With Cancer UK Fashion Show!

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
