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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

And sometimes, I wish I could go back to my child mind and find happiness in the small things again.
