Win £50 to spend on planners and other stationary goodness! ⁣
⁣
I’ll admit it. I bloody love a planner/diary/notebook. I recently posted about my weekly gratitude journal but for the longest time now I’ve been looking for the perfect daily planner to prioritise everything that’s going on in my week and month. ⁣
⁣
Luckily, @malpaper have created their Daily Goal Setter planner. It’s got everything you need from spaces to jot down notes, set your goals and prioritise your daily tasks.⁣
⁣
The best part is they are offering you the chance to win a £50 gift card to spend on their products. This is the *dream* if you love stationary like me! ⁣
⁣
Simply copy and paste the link below into your web browser of choice & tell Mal Paper what your #1 goal is. It could be running a marathon, making more time for your self or maybe saving up for something special! ⁣

Weekly or Daily Journalling ✨⁣
⁣
Since lockdown one I’ve been on a mission to find different ways to manage my mental health and anxiety. One way to channel my thoughts and essentially get them down on paper was to journal.⁣
⁣
I’d seen loads of amazing examples online but a lot were super pricey and for the sake of something I wanted to do once a day or maybe even once a week I wasn’t prepared to spend loads! ⁣
⁣
Luckily, Homesense came to the rescue and I found this absolute gem there at the weekend. It’s a weekly journal so I set aside some time each Sunday night to reflect on my week.⁣
⁣
It asks questions such as; describe this week in 3 words, highlights of the week, something that challenged me, something I’m working towards and 3 things I’m grateful for.⁣
⁣
I find doing this task on a Sunday really helps me declutter my brain and leave the old week behind as I prepare for a new week to begin on Monday morning. It’s almost like a clear out of old thoughts and worries & making some room to tackle a new week. ⁣
⁣
Have you ever tried journalling and is it something you think you’d enjoy? Let me know! ⁣

We take Auntie and Uncle duties very seriously! 🌧💕
Well, it’s November everyone! There’s a few mo Well, it’s November everyone! There’s a few more days before we go into our second lockdown here in the UK and it’s totally normal if you’re feeling everything except OK today.

It’s a weird one cos we kinda know what to expect now but it doesn’t make it any less sucky. I’m particularly not looking forward to not seeing my friends and family properly for at least 4 weeks, the mad rush of the weekly food shop again (erm please leave some loo roll for me...) and the accompanying anxiety of not knowing what will actually happen on the 2nd December.

All we can do is take it day by day and prioritise our mental and physical well-being. We’ve made it through round one and we’ll make it past round two as well. It’s about having those little things to keep you motivated and distracted during these crappy times. For me it’s Christmas and I’m counting down to having my decorations up in a few weeks time to enjoy some festive cheer!
