I know some people scoff at new years resolutions, but I think they’re really useful. I love how January is a time of reflection and thinking about how we can do things in the future to make ourselves even better. Before starting to write this post, I thought a good…

I haven’t done this in a few months and I’m actually very late with this one but thought I’d post it anyway. Beauty I have to be honest and admit that when I go to bed I’m often so tired that I really can’t be bothered to do my whole…
