The term ‘must-have’ has been so overused in the blogging world that it’s hard to know what people are really using and what they just like to have around as a just in case. My daily essentials have certainly changed a lot over the years that’s for sure, now I’m the human to two precious little sighthounds and I find myself walking through the woods more than I do sitting in a coffee shop tapping away at my laptop I have way more practical daily essentials than I do pretty. So from dog walks to what I use when I’m sat at my desk, these are the things that I really use every day at the moment...

We all know that little changes usually amount to big changes but sometimes the change can be so subtle that we don’t actually notice the difference until we take a step back and look at the bigger picture. If you caught my post on my February goals then you will know, I’ve not set myself big traditional New Years resolutions this year and instead I’m trying to tackle things month by month as it makes so much more sense for me to do it this way. As well as trying to create more bite-sized monthly goals there are a few lifestyle changes that I want to make in 2019 and they look a little something like this…

I thought I’d get in early with your instalment of the weekend reading list as typically I save them to go up at the weekend but this one’s coming to you bright and early on a Friday morning! Also, how excited is everyone that the nights are finally drawing out and Spring is in the air? When I’ve been getting up with the dogs at around 7am and I open the door to let them out the air feels different which fills me with excitement as Spring is on the way which means blossom galore. As usual, I’ve been saving up my most loved content online and here is everything I’ve been enjoying lately…

This year I’ve decided to change how I try and reach my goals and what I want to achieve. Instead of setting giant goals that spread over the entire year I’m taking things month by month and it feels so refreshing, I’m not sure why I’ve not done this before as it makes so much more sense as things change in our lives constantly which often leads to those big goals not making much sense anymore and then ultimately we feel like a failure when we’ve not achieved them. In January I didn’t really set myself that much to do as I simply wanted to get back into work and read a couple of books, both of which I did but for February I’ve got a few more things I’d like to get done and they look a little something like this.
