Rebalancing Your Work-Relationship Balance
If there’s anything being a responsible adult has taught us, it’s the importance of balance. Time management is a skill we learn to develop as we grow older, and it doesn’t just apply to our working lives. After all, along with a demanding career, we also have to juggle our social lives, get enough sleep, cook, maintain relationships, and have quality alone time.

Coffee Mornings
Coffee mornings can feel like the ultimate morning event. There’s no denying that for many of us, a driving motivator to get out of bed on a morning is simply because the kettle is downstairs, and you can’t reach it from where you are snuggled in your cosy duvet. Add in the promise of home-baked cakes and effortlessly supporting charity, and it’s no surprise that coffee mornings quickly became a much-loved event.

Adventure Awaits
Holidays are one of the biggest motivators to keep Brits moving through their busy work schedules. We’re all waiting for the day we can step into the airport (several hours before the flight) and jet off to a sunny location where we can sit back, relax, and enjoy the simple things in life.

Dogs Post-Lockdown:
While lockdown has been an unnatural and strange time for us, it has been the opposite for our sociable furry friends. The last year has seen us spending significantly more time indoors, especially if we’re working from home on a daily basis. Dogs are a particularly sociable pack animal who naturally live in groups. Our dogs have been spending lots more time with us, which means more treats, more walks, and more snuggles.
