Hello! I have an announcement. I have launched a newsletter titled Soft Life Journal. I launched this newsletter to share my wisdom on pursuing a soft life as a form of healing after experiencing a lifetime of trauma.

~ AD FEATURE ~ Photo by Pawel Czerwinski on Unsplash Like many people in the UK, I’ve been hit hard by inflation and the cost of living crisis. Despite earning a decent salary, I’ve found myself negatively affected by the rising costs. Also, my spending habits (while living my best life as a soft life bougie babe) have been a little bit out of control at times and that hasn’t helped matters. Now, I should point out that I’m able to pay my rent, bills and other necessities, and I’m blessed to not be in a position where I’m struggling financially. But, I acknowledge that I still have a lot of w ..read more

Over the last year, I’ve significantly changed my life for the better, so here are my top tips to help you level up in life. Re-evaluate and reassess your current circumstances Ask yourself these questions: What does my life look like now? Am I happy with your life right now? What makes me happy?

What's the best investment you've ever made in yourself? Is it a home? Education? Financial investments such as stocks and shares? Health? Health is wealth"! One of the best investments I ever made in my life was seeing a therapist privately. I’d had therapy in the past several times in the form of counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. But, I knew I needed more and I wanted a therapeutic approach that would help me deal with my issues, which were very deep - instead of ranting, venting and scratching the surface. I tried to get help for my mental health via the NHS but I didn’t have ..read more

Hello! Here are some of my favourite beauty products that I’ve been using. Check out my recommendations. Evolve Organic Beauty Body Butter I think this is probably the best body butter I’ve ever tried and I’ve used a lot of body butters!

~ AD FEATURE ~ Did you know that there are many ways to invest in yourself? As someone who’s been on a major transformational journey, I have come to realise the importance of investing in myself. I used to think, “I’m not an investor. I don’t invest,” but that’s not true. Technically, I am an investor because: I have a pension that I pay into every month. I have dabbled in investing in stocks and shares. Over the years I’ve invested in boosting my skills. I’ve invested time and money in therapy. I invest in this website. I’ve invested time, effort, energy and money in changing my ..read more

In this blog post, I’ll share 10 things that have made me happy recently and have had me living and loving my best life. 10 happy things (June 2023) Photo by Maurits Bausenhart on Unsplash Personal time off I’ve had a lot of time off recently. I like where I work (which is refreshing because I spent a lot of my career working in toxic workplace environments) and I absolutely love my job (I work as a content manager). However, my job keeps me very busy and comes with a lot of expectations and responsibilities, so it’s important for me to m ..read more

As someone who’s struggled with mental health issues on and off throughout life, I’ve had to develop techniques to help me cope.

~ AD FEATURE ~ Photo by Johanne Pold Jacobsen on Unsplash Hello! It’s been a while since I wrote about my current beauty favourites. Now, if you know me well, you’ll understand that I am obsessed with beauty products. I’ve gradually cut down on the amount of money I spend on beauty products (because I need to save money and we’re in a cost of living crisis). Plus, I’m mindful of my consumption (because I think mindless consumerism of beauty products is problematic and unsustainable for the planet). But I will always have a love in my heart for beauty and I have certain products that I like re ..read more

Photo by Mandy von Stahl on Unsplash Even though I’ve been busy lately, life has been so good. I feel blessed and happy, so today I will talk about five happy things that I am totally grateful for right now. 1. Spring has arrived My favourite season is here! I love spring because it represents a lot of what I love: fresh starts, new beginnings, new chapters, warmer weather, brighter and longer days and beautiful flowers and trees in bloom. It’s a time that boosts my mood and makes me feel more motivated to live my best life. (Obviously I’m not looking forward to suffering with hayfever.) 2 ..read more
