Letting Go of Whats Not Meant For You

April 3, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia57 Comments

Letting go and holding onto things that are not longer for us, can be draining emotionally and physically. I’ve been through this so many times when it comes to friendships, relationships, job promotions, you name it. Its funny because we often realise and know its no longer for us, yet we hold onto it with everything we have inside of us. We try to make it work, because we think it’s what is meant for us. When reality is, if everything around is you telling you it’s not for you. Then it’s probably not for you. I don’t know what it is that you’re holding onto, but I am right there with you.

3 Stereotypical Assumptions People Have of Me

March 22, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia32 Comments

Whether you mean to or not, we all make assumptions about people we meet. We judge their looks, their style choices and the way they carry themselves. And then we make an assumption on their character and who they are as we get to know them. Alot of the time people don’t do this to be mean or nasty to others. It’s human nature and often we can’t help ourselves. It can take alot of time and effort to re-wire our brains into not doing this.

March 18, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia42 Comments

Its very rare that I share more personal posts on my blog, but I thought it was time to share something light hearted and share my biggest pet peeves in life. We all have those small annoying things that happen that just really set our anger off inside us. I cant even explain what it is, but its like a firework explodes inside me and I get filled with rage when people do things that annoy me. To be honest, I bet I do things that annoy other people all the time too!

How to Break Out of a Creative Slump

March 16, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia65 Comments

I don’t know about you, but recently I have been in the worst creative slump. I’ve found it so hard to focus and get creative on my blog. And it’s truly one of the most frustrating things. I can’t even imagine how hard it is for people who blog as their full time job and feel like this. Because it’s either they suck it up and figure it out or they don’t make money. I’m sure so many of you will relate to the way I am feeling, and I know I’m not alone in feeling like this.

I know alot of external factors can affect creativity. I mean just take a look at the world right now, thats enough to ruin anyones creativity. Mental health also plays a big part in this too, and just general wellbeing. When everything in your life is properly aligned, then so will your thinking.

4 Tips For Managing Pandemic Anxiety

March 11, 2021March 11, 2021by Olivia38 Comments

I never thought in my life that I would be writing a post about pandemic anxiety. Much like everyone else in the world, this pandemic came as a surprise. I remember first hearing about the coronavirus, and hearing that it was only in China and it wasn’t something we should worry about here in the UK. Then each week, heck even each day it seemed to get closer and closer to home. The period between it being discovered in China and it hitting England wasn’t too long. Of course during this time, we were all glued to the news and our phones checking updates.

Why Imitation Is Not The Highest Form of Flattery

March 8, 2021March 8, 2021by Olivia23 Comments

I know we have all heard the popular saying “Imitation is the highest form of flattery”. But I really don’t think it is. It can be really disheartening and awful to see someone go through it and have it happen to you. Having anybody copy your hard work is heartbreaking. People spend hours and hours perfecting their work and for people to just steal it and take it away and claim it as their own is awful.

My Life As An Introverted Extrovert

March 5, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia129 Comments

We have all heard people calling themselves introverted or extrovert, but I haven’t ever heard about those who are both. What cool name shall we call ourselves? An Introextrovert? Please feel free to help me think of a name. I’m open to suggestions. I feel like I’m not alone in feeling like I am both. I have heard of other people who cant put themselves into either introverted or extrovert. There is this grey area between them both and I feel like thats where I sit.

Not Everybody Is Going to Like You

March 1, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia65 Comments

Not everybody is going to like you, and you know that? I accept that. We live in a world where there are so many people living to please others. So many people go out of their way to make others happy. We often forget that actually our purpose is not to serve others or be liked by others. If you’re a person who follows a faith or a God then you know that you have a purpose set before you by your creator. We all have a purpose and one of them is not to make sure that other people like us.

I Had The Covid Vaccine & This is What Happened

February 24, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia100 Comments

All the talk around town seems to be about the Covid Vaccine, and for very good reason. It seems that half of the world wants it and half don’t trust it. When I first heard of the Covid vaccine I was a little suspicious of it. How can they develop a vaccine for a virus that is relatively new? How have they done it so quickly?

I said countless times that I wouldn’t get it if given the opportunity. But obviously as the title of this post suggests, I changed my mind. I did my own research and did what was best for me. And you should do the same. Don’t let the media or the people around you make the decision for you. Its your body so it should be your choice.

Degusta Box Review February – Home Comforts

February 23, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia23 Comments

I can’t quite believe its now my 3rd month of receiving my Degusta box! I feel like as more months pass the more exciting it gets. Getting that delivery text message the day before almost makes it hard to sleep. I sometimes feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! Honestly, receiving these boxes has really made lockdown that more bearable. Its given me something that I can look forward to each month, which is few and far between at the moment.

This months box is all about home comforts – which is very fitting right now isn’t it?! Every time I open my box I always say to myself, how do they know me so well? Nearly every time I have had a box they have included something I absolutely love. I feel like Degusta know me.. they really know me! The box contains some really exciting products this month, and perfect for those long lockdown days.
