I feel like winter can seriously get you down, which is why it requires little pre-planning. Look at the next few months and plot a couple weekends away, maybe a lunch or two out of the city and generally a couple activities that keep you feeling pepped up. Not that every weekend needs to be jam packed, I love a movie marathon, heater and take-outs just like the next girl, but having something to look forward too (when you don’t have a European summer break on the cards) can really help!

With winter being here and work slowing down a touch I thought I might go back to a bit of blogging. So many articles have been flung around the inter web these past fews months about the death of the old school blog. With a couple counter pieces saying can Instagram ever replace this space? Either way one would not exist without the other these days, and that’s why when creating content (not my full time job obviously) it’s important for it to be accessible to all kinds of readers.

It’s been a tough two weeks tbh, starting your own business comes with serious ups and downs and I feel like the outside pressure ‘of doing well’” can be crippling. Especially in the early parts of building your own thing, social media is a tool used to help you market but can also give you ALL of the anxiety while you watch other people/ brands look like they are killing it in the game. And thats because A) you got to fake it until you make it – by keeping up the facade that all is splendid and B) noone wants to show their sad/bad/a tad average days.
