Just over a month ago I spent a long weekend back in Essex with my family. 2 weeks ago, I spent the entire day linking arms and shopping (literally until we dropped), in York with my Mum. Last Sunday (18th June) was Fathers Day, but I couldn’t be there… And it felt hard. Homesickness gets … Continue reading Meditation: Day 64 / 100 — ‘Homesickness’ Why It Isn’t Really About ‘Home’…
“I’ve really come to believe life is balance.” That’s something that came up in conversation this week. And what a beautiful phrase it is. I believe it too. Everything we experience in life comes around into balance in the end. That sentence could have sparked a great conversation, and I wish I had the time … Continue reading Why There’s A Silver Lining Even In The ‘Bad’ Times 💜🙂
Maybe nobody reads your blog. Maybe nobody sees the photos you take and post on instagram. Maybe nobody watches your YouTube videos. Maybe nobody knows it's you who drew that picture. But maybe that's ok... Summer 2015 I moved out. I moved 300 miles from the town I grew up in, to a town I'd … Continue reading Why It’s Ok If Nobody See’s Your Work Or Likes Your Posts… 💕
I fell in love with 'Physical Exercise' at 13. Specifically, martial arts. I always used to be the girl at school who came up with every possible plot under the sun to get out of P.E lessons. I couldn't think of anything worse than standing outside in the cold playground, in those unflattering shorts, standing … Continue reading Why The Barbell Is My Meditation💜

When I wake up tomorrow I can 110% bet that my feeds will be covered with the Monday blues, statuses about not wanting to go to work, and weekend hangover complaints. And by … Continue reading STOP It With The TGIF’s And Hatin’ On Monday Already 🖐…
For the longest time (and even to this day), the writing life intimidated me. What if what I’m trying to say, doesn’t make sense? What if no-one reads it? What if it’s a loada’ gibberish and won’t make a difference? Why’s it any good if I’m the only one who is going to read it? … Continue reading Why You Should Express Your Creative Side (Even If No-one’s Watching) ✨

I looked up at myself in the mirror after Christmas Dinner with bloodshot eyes, welling up with tears, and whispered to my reflection something like: “Amy, what are you doing to yourself? You will never ever be happy if you keep feeling this way … Continue reading A Message For You This Season If You Struggle With An Eating Disorder ❤️
Hey you! So I know, I haven’t written my personal blog in a while… And at first I felt a tad ‘bad’ about it. But not anymore. Why haven’t I blogged? I could reel off a list like — ‘I’ve had no ideas’, which is a lie, I’ve had tons… ‘I haven’t had the time’, another lie, … Continue reading Experiment: The Art Of Lucid Dreaming & How I’m Going To Do It🌛✨
Before I get into this post I want to set one thing straight — yes I don’t own a TV, but I have NOTHING against it… I don’t see television as ‘bad’ or anything, I just don’t care to have one, and nor do I need one. Now to a lot of people this is a genuine … Continue reading Why I Don’t Own A TV 📺
It was September 2012 when I parted ways with my ‘night owl’ and long morning hugs with my duvet, and said hello to the sunrise and ran away with the sunset. (In other words — no more late nights and hello early mornings). And I’ve gotta’ say, it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve EVER made. … Continue reading Why I’m An Early Riser, And The Lessons I’ve Learnt
“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” — Benjamin Franklin Amen Benjamin Franklin!

Quick question: Are you a creative person? I would wager that unless you paint, sketch, sing, play an instrument, know how to work a camera, dance, act etc, etc, etc, (you get the gist)… Your answer would be: No. But what if I told you, you are.
