It’s my favourite time of the month again, Degusta box June review! You guys know how excited I get to review each box, each month. I think my favourite thing about it, is that its always a surprise.

As I always say, it’s like Degusta know me personally. The boxes are always filled with foods that I love so much. It almost feels like each box is bespoke to me. Which is awesome.

10 Pieces of Life Advice From 10 Different Bloggers

June 28, 2021June 28, 2021by Olivia26 Comments

Growing up and even now, I really appreciate life advice. Somebody taking time away from their lives, to share their wisdom with me is so special. Often times I have long, in depth conversations with friends about things we have experienced in life and how we learnt from each individual experience. Learning about others mistakes, and others accomplishments really helps to pave a path for us. Never under estimate the importance of sharing and gaining knowledge from other people. We like to think we can do things alone, but thats not really true.

My Weight Loss Journey: Losing 22 Pounds

June 22, 2021June 22, 2021by Olivia50 Comments

For the longest time I have wanted to start my own weight loss journey, but there was always something stopping me. “I’ll start on Monday” or “I can’t do it this week because I’m on holiday.” I’m sure alot of you can relate to those statements. There was always something stopping me from doing it, even though I knew I needed to. After the 3rd lockdown in England, I really tried my hardest to do what I could to get healthier. Both physically and mentally. I went for 2 walks a day, I tried intermittent fasting and I just kept on gaining weight. I really struggled with body image.

As a lifestyle blogger I am very aware of the fact that the niche I am in, is very over crowded. There is no doubt about it. When I first started blogging, I had no idea what niche I wanted to put my blog in. And honestly, you don’t even have to niche yourself if you don’t want to. The lifestyle niche I fell into just happened naturally, and sometimes thats the way it goes. Or you choose and niche and then swap it.

June 11, 2021June 11, 2021by Olivia23 Comments

If the last year has taught me anything, it’s that there is Joy in every single day. Even if its something small like seeing a cute puppy, or waking early enough to watch the sunrise. This past year has really helped to put things into perspective for me. Not everyday will be great, but there is always great in everyday.

10 Ways To Appreciate Others More

June 7, 2021June 7, 2021by Olivia27 Comments

I don’t know about you, but this year especially I have come to appreciate the people I have around me. With everything happening with the pandemic, it has reminded me that life is fragile and can be taken away at any moment. There is still so much turmoil and hate in the world, and I don’t think there will ever be a time where we are all unified as one race. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t things we can do to show our love and appreciation for others.

In todays post we’ll go through some ways you can show those around you that you appreciate them. Depending on your own love language, you might already do some of these things.

Something I have yet talk about on my blog is the exciting new adventure I’m on, of starting the process to buying my first home. I have gone back and forth about the idea of being a home owner alot over the last few months. But with the current state of the renting market, it makes way more sense to buy instead of rent.

These 3 Things Helped Me To Be Happier

May 29, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia31 Comments

One of my main goals in life is really to be happier. So often we go through life and go with the motions and forget about how important happiness is. If you aren’t happy, you’ll find so many other things in your life don’t align. I remember as a child being so happy and content with life, and I know I am lucky to have experienced that because so many didn’t. And sometimes, I wish I could go back to my child mind and find happiness in the small things again.
