What I love to use each day

It is good to have days where by you do something different. I start my day by using my ottoman for clothes I plan to wear each week and love to rotate my clothes and make sure they all get worn. If there is something I have that I hasn't been used and I go by two to three years or not worn, then it goes. 

The Garden where I love to sit and write 

I love my own space and I like my room. I would like another shelf and hooks, I went through my cabinet so it is some what organised, but it is still better than what it was. I love using my cup I bought from Primark for a Fizzy drink or cold coffee. My son bought me a mug, not for any occasion but wanted to buy it for me so I use this for my afternoon cups of tea. Its things like that get my energy up and I like to use my journal and the best places to go to to buy a journal is TK Maxx, Amazon and The Works, even some have closed been down and I have bought notebooks from Whsmiths which is now TG Jones but can be expensive.


When it comes to the summer I love to make sure the garden table it clean and chairs as I love to write out doors. I spend time in coffee shops watching the world go by and journal and love hand writing now and it has been a good activity as I find when on the computer all of the time, has affected my writing and I love certain pens and I like to design my journal with stickers and washi tape and tags on products. I not longer completely junk journal but small decorative labels and tags and it really helps open my mind and come up with ideas for my blogs and books. 

I like to use the treadmill but the outdoors for me is better and walking tomorrow and love the health APPs where I can measure my steps and Notion to remember appointments and important dates when it comes to planning my week I have been using just a piece of paper. 

When it comes to cooking I like to have a bit of music on or an audio book and it just takes away my mind off from it being a chore and enjoy the cooking process more and can still be me time when cooking and reading a good book. 

Also silence. It is good to turn off the noise and listen to the keys on my laptop as I type and the clock on the fireplace. It is amazing what tools you have that you can use for piece and quiet and switch off the mind and put my phone on silent a lot so I am not distracted. 

It is about enjoying some company of what is useful and important to you. Having time to yourself and enjoying the home and the outdoors. Why can't we enjoy both. 

So live life and enjoy it and have a free day along with a favourite breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love to have porridge with honey and milk and some fruit. Tinned fruit and just what gives me the most satisfaction.

Many thanks for reading,
