So…I wrote a book. It's something that I've always wanted to do and want to do more of in the future so I figured I may as well just go and write the first one so that I can keep moving forward. Know what I mean? In fact, that's kind of what the book is about. It's called 'Get Everything You Want…and More – 20 Tips to Becoming a Kick Ass Goal Setter' and it's all about making yourself accountable… Read more »

Yes, I'm a self-confessed stationery addict. And kikki.K is just one part of this rather huge obsession. Don't tell me you don't know kikki.K. If you don't…I don't know if we can be friends any more (just kidding, just promise me to check out their site). My sister, best friend, and I have a deep and mutual love of all things kikki.K. Even though we live far away, I always feel close to them when I go into the stores… Read more »
You know how things seem to come into your life right when you need them? I kind of feel like More Magic, All The Time was written just for me, just for this moment in my life. I know, of course, that it wasn't but its author, Rachel Magahy of the wonderful blog, In Spaces Between, just has a way of writing exactly what I need to read, exactly when I need it. It's as though we're tuned into the… Read more »
Dear Tina Fey, I just read your book, Bossypants, and wrote a review on it for my blog here, but I scrapped it to write you a letter because I had to get something off my chest (even though you'll never read it, I'm sure you get the point…damn why am I still talking to you like you will read it, okay, I'm moving on now…) Firstly, I want to start by saying, your book is exceptional. I know I… Read more »
When I'm busy, the two things that go out the window are reading and exercise. I miss reading but it almost always feels like a guilty pleasure because you can't do anything else when you're consumed in the pages of a book. It's a sad realisation and one that I hope to rectify as soon as possible, taking more time to sit and read and appreciate working my brain and not being connected to the online world all the time….

“Just because the road ahead is long, is no reason to slow down. Just because there is much work to be done, is no reason to get discouraged. It is a reason to get started, to grow, to find new ways, to reach within yourself and discover strength, commitment, determination, discipline. The road ahead is long and difficult, and filled with opportunity at every turn. Start what needs starting. Finish what needs finishing. Get on the road. Stay on the… Read more »
Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great weekend. Sunday and I have a love/hate relationship. I love the relaxed vibe of Sunday but I hate that it means the weekend is nearly over and it's back to work tomorrow. One thing I love to do on Sundays is bake and I just wanted to bring Saved By Cake by Marian Keyes to your attention in case you missed it on Friday!! I mentioned this in my Favourite Things… Read more »
One of the brilliant birthday gifts I received this year was from my friend, Shamere (she is a gift-giving legend). She gave me an assortment of stationery related items to add to my epic collection and one of them was a Wreck This Journal. Simply put, this journal has instructions on every page detailing what you need to do to completely wreck the journal. As someone with a massive respect for books, drawing in them, ripping pages, and pretty much… Read more »
