Lifestyle and Well Being
If you've read my post 'Learning to let go, my journey to minimalism', you will know that I used to be a little bit of a hoarder. Letting go of things was a struggle and I would be plagued by 'what ifs' when I did give something up. Last year, during the first lock down, [...]
Ah Sunday. The one day of the week where it feels alright to stay in your pyjamas until lunch time or float around the house in some comfy lounge wear, binging on a Netflix series and eating whatever you can find in your fridge. You open up Instagram for a quick scroll and see post [...]
As we start the second month of 2021, I wondered about how many people set New Year’s resolutions and who is still going with theirs. Statistics say that less than 10% of people will achieve their New Year’s resolutions and this is mainly down to them being generally too broad. Eat healthier is a rather [...]
I started this blog, 'La Dolce Far Niente' back in January 2020 as a bit of a New Year resolution. I used to have a blog years ago and didn't dedicate myself fully to it so it fell by the wayside. I decided that this time would be different but I didn't start off with [...]
Complete lock down feels like a distant and surreal memory to me now. Thinking back it doesn't seem real that I spent 12 weeks isolating in the house and trying to keep safe from the virus that has devastated the world. While we are still seeing localised lock downs in some areas of the UK, [...]
Ah, Instagram. I very much have a love hate relationship with Instagram.

Classic FOMO. I was quite happy plodding along in a [...]
With more and more restrictions being eased every week, lock down now seems like a strange dream or distant memory. Life is starting to look more normal every day although with some modifications such as people wearing face masks and ample hand sanitizer to use in every shop and building you enter. It's been around [...]
Have you ever wondered why you do things the way you do? Or why you prefer to be some social situations and not others? I did too. I had always wondered why I did things the way I did and what made me different to other people. I had always felt different, maybe because I [...]
If anyone had told me in January that the world would be ravaged by a new virus, our country would go into lock down and I'd be spending 12 weeks at home I wouldn't have believed it. I still can't believe it most days because it's such a surreal time in our lives and one [...]
It's hard to go anywhere or do anything now without hearing about how humans are affecting the planet. We are consuming too much, producing too much waste and polluting our planet with rubbish and plastic waste. I started looking for ways that I could help after the legendary David Attenborough put a program on the [...]
