Processing Thoughts

It has been a weird few weeks.

I know we are all feeling it right now. I’ve been trying to process thoughts for days to see if things can seem a bit clearer and I just keep coming back full circle.

I made the decision to be self-employed and I have been working from home now for a good few years and I know right now there are a lot of ‘X ways to work at home’ articles and I’m not going to add to that noise at all because it’s completely different. I am really feeling that difference. I enjoy structure and at the moment I’m probably doing very little of what I normally would.

My kids are now at home after their school closed, my eldest works well on her own and she seems to be coping well. It’s the first week and I realise this won’t continue but it’s in contrast to my youngest. My boy has struggled being away from his friends, he is shy and whilst we have supported and encouraged video calls he’s found it all very emotional. Which has sent me over a few times too.

I’m also as hormonal as f*** right now.

I am incredibly lucky to still have work to be focusing on, I know others are not that lucky. That being said, it is less than it was. I can get it all done in a few hours a day and can spend the rest of the time with my family. I have elderly relatives that I am helping with food supplies so that’s kept my mind focused too.

Sarah’s March Favourites

4 / 7 / 19

How is it possibly April!? For my March Favourites I’ve been enjoying watching a lot of TV and here are some of my current favourites. I’ve also got back into reading regularly, here are some of my tips! Here are the rest of my March favourites below.

Reading Magazines with Readly

I’ve mentioned how much more than I’m reading books but I am also now reading a LOAD of magazines. When we travel I always tend to buy a couple of magazines which isn’t cheap! With Readly (£7.99 per month) I have actually been saving money. I have noticed that I have a real love for celebrity gossip mags, especially now that I can access them all on the app! I’ve also read a lot of magazines that I just wouldn’t have read before and I have found some new favourites. Also you have access to the back issues too which I have been loving! You can use up to 5 devices so I can read them on my phone too, and you can create 5 users on each account so the whole family can use it! This is totally not sponsored but something that I have been absolutely loving – I am actually quite obsessed to be honest!

Sam’s February Favourites

3 / 9 / 19

So it felt like January would never end and then February lasted like two days! WTF is going on?! Anyway I thought I’d bring you my super late February favourites, cause there’s some super good products in there, in fact I’ve already repurchased a couple of them.

Sam’s 2018 Favourites

1 / 2 / 191 / 2 / 19

I’ve had so many favourites this year that I was really struggling to narrow it down, so I decided to channel my inner Queen Oprah and pick the products that I would confidently give away as gifts, any time of year, and that I would be more than happy to receive.

Sam’s August Favourites

9 / 6 / 18

I’m so happy that it’s almost autumn, I’m loving the cooler days and nights, I honestly thought the crazy heatwaves and all the humidity would never go away.

I don’t have a lot of favourites this month, I’ve kept my makeup and skincare pretty minimal in the heat, although I can already feel the cold starting to dry my skin out so no doubt I’ve have lots of skincare faves over the next couple of months.
