Hello! A happy Sunday to you. As I was relaxing and surfing the web the morning, I thought it might be a great idea to keep a list of my inspirations in one handy place.
So, I have added a new page to this blog called Inspirations. I will be updating it with the things that help motivate me and keep me on my grind. If you have any suggestions, I would love to know about what motivates you!
I hope you are all lounging, doing a face mask and eating bon bons this evening.

When I’m not laying in my bed watching YouTube videos back to back, I am searching for motivation and inspiration. I am driven both by my desire to create and my love of lounging in repose. It makes for an exciting and eventful life, let me assure you.
Luckily, while scrolling through Instagram I discovered Jo Rodgers. She writes for British Vogue and has the most charming turn of phrases that make every square picture seem like a warm, tiny window I would love to peep into.
I was up with the shipping forecast this morning. The kettle was boiling by “Milford Haven” and I was perched on the radiator with the newspaper, weighing the need for tea against the freezing floors on the way to the kitchen. Hours later I filled a mug and took a walk around the neighbourhood, wondering who else might be inside on their heaters.
I love stumbling upon inspiring people in unexpected ways. Jo Rodgers inspires me to write. I never think I am very good, and I don’t often work up the energy to press pause on a video, but her words are so beautiful that I can’t help but want to try.
Who inspires and motivates you?
This has been a week of ups and downs, but I can tell I am getting better at always looking on the bright side of life (*whistles perfectly*). Thought I would make a nice little list of the 5 things that have inspired me this week.
2. This diary inspired by Paulo Coelho. Although I can not for the life of me pronounce his last name, Paulo is one of my all time favorite authors. In this yearly planner, I write down my dreams first thing in the morning – it has been a calming way to start the day as I reflect on my dreams and peruse some of his best quotes. 
3. This empty box of chocolates. It was Valentines day last weekend and this box lasted, tops, 2 hours.
4. This sweater – hands down my best thrift store find. I have loved this for years, and most recently, have not been able to peel it off me this week.
5. This vanilla bourbon candle by Spit Fire Girl. I bought this via the coolest store around, Gypsy Jule, and it has certainly kept me company through many a long, cold evening. It’s a tiny candle but it will burn cleanly forever because it is soy.
And that’s it for now! Cheers to a happy weekend and a better next week.
