Learning To Let Things Go When You're A Chronic Worrier
Whether you're a chronic worrier, over-thinker or not I think we can all relate to the feeling of not being able to let things go all that easily. And when something has really upset you and got under your skin it is very difficult to move past it and let it lie. Something that I've been working really hard towards this year especially is letting things go because in the past I've had the tendency to dwell and overthink about everything which isn't a fun way to live as it makes you miss things that are happening now because you're so far in the past. So if you also struggle from dwelling on things and not letting them go then here are a few things that I make myself remember when I feel myself slipping into a bad thought pattern.

There is a subject that I absolutely love to write about when it comes to beauty and that's not washing my hair. Something if you had asked about me a few years ago I would have looked at you with absolute horror because until I was 21 I was a daily hair washer.

Trying To Live With Less When Minimalism Sounds Horrifying
Blogging, for the most part, is an industry built on consumerism, there is absolutely no denying that. And I love indulging in it too from time to time but my relationship with material items has changed so much over the years. The likes of the anti-haul and minimalism have been on the rise for years and I'm pretty sure the majority of us are trying to incorporate the mindset of a little less as of right now. But there is a large part of me that thinks this movement can be very overwhelming and seem very strict like you need to live in a house filled with only the essentials that you truly cannot be without. Taking a more conscious mindset to what you're buying doesn't have to be a certain way and I've found the easiest way to do is small steps and here they are;

Doing Something New In Loving Memory
One of my biggest challenges this year was to push myself and do things out of my comfort zone. I'm such a creature of habit, so I stick to what I know and love.

So this is exactly what today's post is all about, soon I’m going to be doing something completely out of my comfort zone for probably the most important reason I can think of.

When someone who isn't from the UK talks about British summers they often talk about dreamy countryside road trips finished up with a picnic and everything else quintessentially British. And having lived in England all of my life I can safely say that our summers are very hit and miss. When it's sunny it's truly beautiful but because it's not something we're graced with that often none of us know how to cope.
