The week I focussed on taking care of myself, my home and my relationships. 

One week off of work and I managed to:

🧖🏻‍♀️ Get a facial 
📱 Rekindle relationships with friends
☀️ Go tanning to get some Vitamin D 
💪 Start doing daily planks & wall sits
📦 Spring clean the house & get rid of stuff
😴 Catch up on some much needed sleep
💆🏻‍♀️ Get a massage 
👚 Mooch around Charity Shops 
🧴 Do my daily skincare regime
🎡 Get some quality time with my loves 

Wow… I can’t believe what I packed into one week. 

I feel like a new person. 😉 ✨


P.S. I also think I might have developed an obsession with Charity Shopping 🛍️ 

🌟 It’s sustainable
🌟 So many unique pieces to be found
🌟 Allows you to play with your style
🌟 That buzz when you find a bargain
🌟 Sharing the fun with a friend is THE Best!

As they say one person’s trash is another person’s treasure… and my oh my I feel like I struck gold a few times 🤩 

Do you like to go shopping in Charity Shops? 

What’s the best thing you’ve ever bought from a Charity shop?

📣 If you are a St. James’s Place Financial Adviser and want to find out how events can help you and your business get in touch.

The sky is the limit! 

On an impromptu outing in Wales this Sunday with the family, we decided to walk up a mountain. 

When we started making our way up my 10 year old son kept asking how far up we would go.

I told him “I don’t know, depends how far up we can get.” 

He needed to have an endpoint; so we pointed to a fence we noticed up ahead. 

My son “but that’s so far!” 

I looked down and pointed to our feet and said “Just focus on taking baby steps, one foot 🦶 in front of the other and we’ll get there before you know it.”

Taking the chance to make a life lesson from this… I explained just like any big dreams we chase or huge challenges we face just break it down into smaller chunks and you can do anything!” 

Meanwhile right by our side, my two year old was absolutely blown away by the idea that we were walking up a mountain. Gleefully shouting “The Mountain!” all the way up to the top, back down and in the car ride home. 

We were shocked that she was able to make it that far and overwhelmed by how much of an impression it made on her. 😍

*In the voice of Ryder from Paw Patrol*
“No Mountain too high, no person too small!” 

My 2 yr old is currently in her Paw Patrol phase… 😅

Yesterday was one of those rare opportunities to help TWO people in their learning journey. 

I got to chat through my Corporate Events journey with David Wiafe on his Work Experience programme with St. James’s Place.

We discussed some of the biggest hurdles in Event Management:  Budget, Resource & Time and making career choices based on your life priorities. 

Thank you Isobel Money for the chance to get involved in the programme for the day and for the lovely E-Card. 😍


THEN, I was honoured to have been recommended by my friend Amy Woodthorpe to be interviewed by Izabela Legowska for her dissertation on Sustainable Events. 

Honestly I always end up learning something from people I get to meet and have conversations with… so it’s always a win win for me and absolutely worth every second of my time. 

A great way to end the week feeling full of gratitude for being exactly where I am right now. 

Hope you’ve all had an AMAZING week too. 

✨ What was your highlight this week? ✨

The COMFORT ZONE is nothing else but a graveyard for your dreams and ideas. 🤔 💡

I found this old coaster from a development course at work… and it remains relevant to anyone and everyone today.


COMFORT ZONE- We all know what this feels like, it’s that safe and cosy place we stay in, with low stress and anxiety and little room for development and growth.

STRETCH ZONE- This is where you take on new challenges, learn new skills and push yourself beyond current capabilities. 

PANIC ZONE- Fear and anxiety is high, you may feel paralyzed and tasks can feel overwhelming and difficult. 

❓Where do you currently sit? 
❓Are you pushing yourself enough? 
❓Are you pushing yourself too far? 
❓Where do you want to be?
❓How do you want to feel? 
❓What are your priorities right now?

I know these aren’t always easy questions but they help keep you grounded and guide you towards shifting your energy in the right places and towards the right things. 

Sometimes when my energy is low or I feel like I am about to have existential crisis I ask myself those questions and they help put things into perspective and help me stay on track. 

Currently working on my Digital Marketing course and reminding myself to continue to dig deep to find the time and enthusiasm to get my assignments done BUT not at the expense of my wellbeing. 

🌟 What are you currently stretching your limits to or are you panicking? 

💫 If you are currently in your comfort zone, what small steps could you be taking to push yourself further into the stretch zone?

FREE refills 😂

May all your cups get refilled this week 🥤
