Looking at the world through my lens
Self care, self love, and everything in between
I don’t know about you, but there’s nothing better than a Sunday filled with tunes. It’s so easy to get wrapped up in day-to-day stuff – cooking, cleaning, working, parenting, blah, blah, blah… stopping for five minutes to turn on your Bluetooth, connect your speaker and select a playlist that matches your feels of the…

Happy Sunday! I’m a person who always wants to capture important moments. Since having a second child, I’ve been slacking… too busy, with two children and only two arms. Taking and printing photos has always been a love of mine; there’s nothing quite like physically viewing and touching your most sacred times. Technology has given…

Today, there seems to be an atmosphere of calm and relief. The next turn on this roller coaster of a year (for me at least), hung in the balance of the 2020 US election. A Trump re-election would have summed up the shiteness of an unforgettable 10 months. I now feel in a place of…
Recently I’ve had quite a bit going on. All good things but I’ve started to find it challenging to think clearly. My brain is all foggy.

There are days when anxiety creeps in. This usually happens when something in my life isn’t going to ‘plan’ or as I’d hope. It always surprises me just how easy it is to forget the good things in my life even if just one small aspect goes skewwhiff. A couple of years ago, a good friend…

We lost another hero; Chadwick Boseman’s tenacity to fight such a difficult and courageous battle, all while changing the world, makes him one of the true greats. 2020 has been a deafening year. Our lives have all been disrupted in one shape or another. Sometimes speaking to an independent person may be beneficial when we’re…

I’ve been given the gift of time this weekend, which is perfect because this is the Sunday I start my next juicing fast. Juicing has grown in popularity over the past few years as the benefits have become more known. I was introduced to juicing over a decade ago through one of my sisters, but…
It’s a new Sunday and self care takes prime place again. Today is all about what we choose to consume via our social media platforms. Society’s promotion of unattainable standards is well documented. Unrealistic images are forced upon us via films, magazines, advertising, and so on. But what we also need to consider is, what…
