Home of Lou Mora and Sarah Yates, via Design*Sponge One of the reasons why I ran into so much difficulty at university is because I’m a perfectionist and that leads to massive amounts of anxiety for me. I have always liked most things to be ‘just right’ or ‘perfect’, based on whatever criteria I came… Read more »

My big news
Via So on Valentine’s Day I mentioned that I have some news to share. Remember how a couple of weeks ago I wrote about my experience with anxiety and also how I wasn’t sure if my current study/career path was what I really wanted to do? Well, since that post my anxiety has been up… Read more »
When things feel difficult
While I struggle to get super personal here, I often find myself thinking that if I share some of my experiences with anxiety and depression it might be helpful for myself and maybe even others. I know that when I read about other people’s struggles with these things I get a sense of not being… Read more »
Holidays and Weight Loss
I’m on mid-semester break at the moment, so hopefully I’ll have a little more time to post. The last couple of weeks have been crazy-busy and there has been so little down-time for anything; I was definitely looking forward to a bit of R&R. I’ve had four days of doing nada, except going away for… Read more »
Weekly Goals / 2
Image made using some pretty downloads from PuglyPixel. It did not go so great, actually, which is disappointing.

8 weeks to a better me: Week five
Image from Sometimes Sweet This week’s topic is loving life and having fun. I can’t think of a better thing to work towards for this week! I see a lot of people struggle to remember to have fun in their daily lives. I think sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in everything… Read more »
8 weeks to a better me: Progress report
Image from Sometimes Sweet Given that we’re half way through the 8 weeks to a better me project I think it’s time I updated on how I’ve been doing. Successes, failures – you know the drill. In week one it was all about blogging and I aimed to blog about my 23rd birthday, make one… Read more »
8 weeks to a better me: Week four
Image from Sometimes Sweet This week is all about loving yourself, something I think most people could do with working on. I have always been hard on myself and often find I come up with all these unrealistic expectations for myself. Honestly, if I tried to have those expectations on someone else, they would tell… Read more »
8 weeks to a better me: Week three
Image from Sometimes Sweet This week’s goal theme is definitely needed, but it will be hard! As I sit here typing and simultaneously biting a slice of pizza (the frozen kind) I am readying myself to make 3 healthy eating goals. Oh yes, time to banish the chocolates, chips, and full-fat laden iced coffees while… Read more »
