A little introduction

My name's Lauren and this blog is my Frankenstein's monster - except a lot prettier! I love all things web design and blogging so have combined everything in one place. I post about everything from graphic and web design to organisation to mental health and wellbeing.

Hello! New photo of me as it’s been a while and I have an annoying fringe now.

⁣
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! ⁣

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!

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt over the past few months whilst we deal with whatever the heck is going on outside, it’s that looking after yourself is more important than ever!⁣
⁣
I don’t just mean physically either, I mean mentally and emotionally. I’ve recently gone back to my web/graphic design/illustration as a creative outlet and a distraction from life which can be pretty overwhelming sometimes. I created this little graphic as a reminder of a few of my favourite ways to unwind and look after myself. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been working on a few posts like this and hope you don’t mind if I share them over the coming days and weeks.⁣

We’ve been trying to get fresh air everyday this week since we started WFH and carried on into the weekend, getting our 10k steps in each day. Making the most of a day that should be spent with my family and just hoping to see the back of this as soon as possible!

New Blog Post Alert! 🚨
If you’ve made a promise to yourself in 2020 - like me - to look after your mind & body a little more then you might be after some inspiration, motivation and guidance on how to do this!
I’ve found that listening to podcasts on my way to and from work has helped hugely and my brain is like a sponge right now just sucking up all of the facts & info around nutrition, health and well-being!

Over at www.laurenfell.com I’ve shared 4 of my favourite health and wellness podcasts - I hope you find some you love!

I went to see @theovon and all I took was these crap photos...That’s because he was INSANELY funny though and I was too busy laughing my head off. Plus I kinda feel like it was a special night for us as he kindly recorded a video for Rob last year for his 30th to tell him he was going to his show! So we felt like we’d been invited there by the man himself! 10/10. Gang gang. 🐭👑

‼️ NEW POST ALERT! Swipey swipey! 👉👉 I’ve written a couple of new blog posts all about 2020 goals, habits and routines for a better me this year! I’ve decided 2020 is all about #selfcare and #selflove SO I’ve set myself some new goals to hit this year alllll to do with moi! Link in bio!

Today we mooched around Chawton which was incredibly peaceful and such a beautiful little village! Made a mental note to pop back with my Mum so we can have a look around Chawton House and Jane Austen Museum! #chrismtas #break #walk #hampshire #uk #chawton #janeausten #museum #england #festive

Merry Christmas Eve from Nellie who is wearing her @innocent smoothie knitted hat. Christmas is my favourite time of year for two reasons: family and food. I am at my happiest surrounded by people I love eating all of our favourite food. I can’t wait to spend the next couple of days with our families to celebrate! Have a wonderful Christmas everyone! 💜🎄🎅🏻
