Tired of being Tired? Life is difficult sometimes, especially when you are tired. But I've said it before and i'll say it again, Water is the key. Hydration!  If you get home and find that you just don't have ANY energy left. Don't sit down just yet! RESIST THE URGE!  Instead, why not go to the fridge and get some mineral water? The tap? or even the kettle... If you don't like water... I must admit I am not a great fan of plain water so I use fruit tea or cordials seemingly free from chemicals.

Have confidence. It's never too late to learn...or early I will leave you with this quick and positive blog today. It is NEVER too late to learn. Do you feel you just don't have the time? Have you ever tried Audio books? These are great for journeys on the way home in the car, or on your phone on the train.  This is vital time where you could be learning something you are really interested in. I am refreshing myself with french in my car at the moment on the way to work. My journey is 40

Quick, tasty and healthy dinner??? The fact is, when you come home from work, you can be exhausted and need to make something fairly quick. It may be that you have children who are hungry or you have come home late. So you start thinking about... oven chips? oven pizza? chicken nuggets? Mcdonald's? This sometimes makes you feel lazy, unhealthy and even lethargic. But it doesn't have to be so unhealthy to eat fast food! Stir Fry! The day I found stir fry was the best day of my culinary life!

VALENTINES : Something thoughtful for that special someone. February the 14th is on it's way. Some of us might be lucky enough to have someone special in our lives at this time of year. Unfortunately, some of us with that special someone may also be thinking;  "Oh my gosh that's next week! I don't have time to go shopping around for anything?!"  "WHAT?? I have just got over Christmas!! I can't afford Valentines too!" Or  "There's nothing I can think of? What does he/she want?" Panic not my

Positive thoughts! You are worth it! As I mention in my About me page, positive thoughts are so important for your inner happiness. Tomorrow Morning is a fresh start. It sounds so cheesy but these work and some you can do tonight before you go to bed. You could; set your alarm with a happy message, write a small note for your spouse, Smile in the mirror, or ( what I have done in the past) leave a coffee cup with beans/granules and sugar ready next to your breakfast with a positive note to

In 6 hours! Chalk paint is a girls(or boys) best friend. One cold and fairly grey morning, I happened to be talking to my partner about furniture we needed (as we were a week away from moving into our new place) when I got a call from my mum. She told me her friend new of a house clearance and would I like to take a look. Of course we did!  After buying a couple of pieces of furniture at very good prices, I began to think about how I could 'revamp' them and give them a makeover to suit our

The after work slump... We all do it! I used to be terrible at this, and still do it on occasion. Why not? you have a right! But sitting down as soon as you get in, may not recharge you as much as you think....  This is when you finish work and have been looking forward to that time of day since you left this morning, you counted down the hours at lunch time and you think 'HOME TIME YES!' You pull up in the car or walk onto your property and turn that key, shutting the door behind you....
