A question that often comes up in the comment section of this blog is what my favourite podcasts are. I do mention them quite a lot and over the years they've become such a big part of my day. Working from home, alone is quite a lonely affair so I love to have a podcast on when I work but also when I'm pottering doing the cleaning or even walking my dog. My taste in podcasts varies from fun entertaining episodes to ones that are a little more serious and dig into thought-provoking topics and here are a few of my favourites that I'll always give a listen. 

As of right now being busy is something that we herald as very admirable. I don't remember the last time I spoke to somebody and they didn't talk about how busy they are, which isn't always a bad thing. So many people don't share that they are busy to brag but it has become something that people generally boast about. Being so exhausted and stressed out that we can't see straight is something we now see as a good thing and almost a badge of honour. Because obviously if you're not busy it means you're lazy and not working as hard as hard as other people which isn't the case at all. Over the years, I've become busier and busier and it got to a point where I realised it was turning me into a really crappy person. And being that busy isn't all that amazing and definitely not something I saw as a good thing.

Think of this blog post as a text conversation between friends, you know the ones I mean. Where you find something that makes you so happy that you must text your friends immediately to let them know about it. The odd little things that I'm enjoying in life don't typically get mentioned all that much on this corner of the internet. But there have been a few things I've been loving a little too much not to share so here are a whole lot of lifestyle favourites.

My morning routine is something I treasure, it's not always something that goes perfectly but in general it's something that I've pretty much got down to a T. And I've not always been a morning person, back at university I would sleep my mornings away in favour for staying up late at night but oh how times have changed. I'll happily start my day at 5am if needs be and I'm always that person who is so infuriatingly chipper it probably makes other people want to scream. But here are 7 things that really help my morning get off to the best start possible.
