Every now and then a new craze emerges, and more often than not I'm a little dubious. When colouring books for adults exploded all over my social media feeds, I first thought "Here we go again!" and didn't really give it a second thought. But more and more posts kept appearing and eventually I gave in. I'd read that colouring can help to relieve stress and anxiety, and having tried various other methods to reduce my anxiety I thought why not? One quick Amazon search later, I discovered Animal Kingdom by Mille Marotta and it went straight in my basket along with some brand new colouring ... Read the Post...
I AM VERY BUSY: MY NEW FAVOURITE PLANNER
Hi I'm Amy and I have an obsession with stationery. Pens, pencils, notebooks, cute post it notes, stickers, you name it, I love it! I came across this planner a couple of weeks ago and there was no way I couldn't buy it. This is the I Am Very Busy by Bando, but sold through Mod Dolly. It's sold out at the moment but hopefully it will be back in stock soon! It's 17 months which is really useful, as it starts in late July through to December 2016. The planner has a small section in the front for your name and a couple of contact details if you like to put them in and a sheet of really ... Read the Post...
CALM THE MIND, CHANGE THE WORLD & GIVEAWAY!
Books, journals, notebooks, any type of book: I love 'em. If you read my "Time To Change" post from a couple of weeks back, you'll know how I am working to make a more positive and fulfilling life so when I heard about this book, Calm, by Michael Acton Smith, I just had to get my hands on it.

With modern life being so hectic from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to sleep, it can be hard to fit in some moments ... Read the Post...
STAYING SAFE IN THE SUN WITH SMARTSUN
Much to everybody's amazement, we're having some pretty great weather in England recently. It's funny; we all complain when it's raining or windy, and we all complain when it's warm. Seems like we're never happy! Jokes aside, while basking in the sun is perfectly relaxing, it's also really important to stay safe and protect yourself from the suns rays. Rates of skin cancer are increasing faster than any other cancer in the UK, and melanoma is now one of the most common cancers in young adults aged 15-34. Some might think that suncreams are only for holidays abroad, but that isn't the case. Any ... Read the Post...
LIFESTYLE: TIME FOR A CHANGE
LINK I'm not satisfied with my life. There, I said it. Bloggers, and people in general really, like to portray this perfect Valencia filtered lifestyle on the internet and make out like everything is tip top and perfect. This definitely isn't the case. I'm not content with where my life is headed and I want to change that. Why settle for anything less than what you want? I don't know how many times I've mentioned getting into shape on here now, but this time, I have to mean it. After slowly putting on more and more weight, and getting noticeably unhealthier, I really have to make a change. ... Read the Post...
