Reducing anxiety & stress by Getting Things Done

Over the past few years my life has become busier and busier, trying to juggle work and home life then recently throwing planning a wedding into the mix. There are times when I just sit and stare into space not knowing were to start. Forgetting the simplest tasks, not knowing what needs doing next at work and generally feeling OVERWHELMED, ANXIOUS and STRESSED.

Twenty Seven: What i've learned so far...

Today I turn the ripe old age of 27! I know, it's now a downward slope to the big 30 but over the past 27 years I have to learnt a few things, some silly and some a little deeper.

I want to share 27 of them with you:

October Birchbox: Breast Cancer Awareness

In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month October's Birchbox focus' on Feeling Good. They have partnered with CoppaFeel to remind us of the importance of checking ourselves regularly. Included in the box is a guide showing the correct way to check yourself and what you should be looking for. I am guilty of not checking myself as regular as I really should so from now on when I receive my Birchbox each month I will make sure to check myself.

Chasing the Sun Collection

In my state of holiday blues I splurged on the new Tanya Burr Chasing the Sun collection. In the past I've found Tanya's make up to be a little hit and miss but I couldn't resist the rose gold packaging.

May Birchbox

I had a lovely surprise waiting for me when I got back from Walt Disney World this weekend as I'd completely forgotten about my May Birchbox.

This months box couldn't have been more me if I had designed it myself, white marble, rose gold and  a dusky pink draw. I didn't care what was inside I was more than happy with the box. Then I opened it... and they have outdone themselves this month!

April Favourites

I don't understand where the year is going; we're almost half way already! But it does mean that I'm closer to my Walt Disney World trip, which is always a good thing. April has been a very busy month for me with work and life in general. I did find time to FINALLY book my wedding venue!!! I can't wait to throw myself into wedding planning, now that the big scary decision of which venue has been made.

Zizzi Italian Restaurant, Durham

After a lovely sunny afternoon in Durham City taking walks by the river and relaxing on the place green by Durham Cathedral, as always my thoughts turned to food. There are so many amazing restaurants in the city but none can top Zizzi in my eyes. I managed to persuade the other half to take me out for dinner by taking advantage of the Amico Set Menu.
