I could probably write a book on what Sundays mean to me and how I spend them. This all came about after I started working full-time. Sundays were for ironing my clothes, preparing outfits for the week ahead and doing my hair whilst catching up with online classes. Overtime Sundays have also become a day … Continue reading The importance of Sundays

300 and counting
Last week, I noticed I was getting close to 300 followers, a few days ago I reached 300 followers and now I have surpassed it. I don't allow myself to pay too much attention to the number of followers I have on this blog. Followers doesn not equate to views, likes or comments and overall … Continue reading 300 and counting
Running out of ideas
When it comes to blogging, daily blogging in particular, there are endless ideas of what you can write about. But unless you're keeping a journal it'll be beneficial to keep what you share within a category, niche or even a few words.

Instead of just being in the moment, you're observing it so that … Continue reading Enjoy the moment
Daily blogging vs Journalling

I stopped keeping a regular journal because it no longer served the purpose in my life that it did when I first started. These days I journal maybe once or twice a month. Sometimes just to let out frustration or get … Continue reading Daily blogging vs Journalling
Writing for the reader
I was recently asked about whether I write for myself or for readers. It's something I think about every now and then but it was interesting to be asked. On one hand I write for myself because I love it but on the other hand I write for my readers too. I'm thoughtful about what … Continue reading Writing for the reader

When you feel low or sad about something it can be difficult to know what t do with the feeling. After all you don't want to feel it, you'd much rather the sadness just left you alone. But the thing with difficult feelings and feelings in general is that they don't leave if you don't … Continue reading Feeling difficult feelings
And on the 7th day…
The creator of the habit loop determined that in order to change a habit you needed to change your routine. For example, drinking a glass of water when you crave a cigarette. For the past 7 days I've been working to undo a habit. I didn't consciously replace it with anything but I suppose I … Continue reading And on the 7th day…
