3 Things That I Appreciate From The Last Week Of My Holiday
I finally set up my LinkedIn profile
Hurrah! After many weeks of putting it off, I finally did it! It still needs a lot of work and I need to work on selling myself as it’s something I’m not very good at but I’ve taken a major step in the right direction.

Taking some much needed time out
A holiday to theme parks can be tiring, I also felt a bit unwell whilst we were away so despite feeling guilty about not joining in, I did what was best for my body and took some time out when I needed it. I definitely need to listen to my body more.
Visting Disney Enchantment Spectacular
We went to see the Enchantment Spectacular on our last night in Florida and I have to say, I was very impressed. The fireworks and light show at Disneys Magical Kingdom really magical is and live up to its name as spectacular, it was a great way to end the holiday.
What went well for you over the last week? ❤️
3 Small Intentions I’m Setting This Week To Energise Me After My Holiday
Revisit my routine
After two weeks away from reality and being 5 hours behind my normal schedule, everything is a little up in the air. There are things I want to remove from my routine and some other things I would like to add.
Regular exercise
I started using the FIIT app before I went on holiday so I want to get back into that. All that walking around theme parks has made me realise that I really need to improve my fitness.
Writing articles for publications
I write every single day but at the moment, its just for my personal blog. I want to branch out and write some different articles, so that when I am ready to make some pitches to publications they’re ready to go.
I am planning to work very hard this week!
What are your intentions for the coming week? ❤️
Daily Habits, Being Productive, Achieving Your Goals and A Good Book Recommendation - 5 Things I’ve Seen & Heard This Week
Learn how daily habits can improve your life
I’m a huge fan of building habits and routine so when I read this article in Psychologies magazine, I just had to share it with you.
I find that having daily habits and rituals really helps with my anxiety and gives me some control over my day.
Be productive whilst you move
Being productive AND exercising at the same time sounds like a winning combination and MyFitnessPal shared how we can do this in their blog post. I’ve had some great ideas whilst out on a walk so I definitely want to try some of these suggestions.
Achieve your goals
I spoke a lot about goals this week and this article has some fantastic tips on how to achieve your goals.
Manage your tasks
I am always looking for new ways to improve the way I manage my day and this blog post has lots of useful info on how to do just that
A fab book
If you are looking for a new read to keep you on the edge of your seat, then look no further. I just finished Hostage by Clare Macintosh and read it over a few days, although maybe not one for the plane 😉

Highlights From the 2024 National Sex Ed Conference
Each year, the National Sex Ed Conference marks a significant highlight for me—a vibrant confluence where educators, advocates, and professionals from across the United States converge to exchange knowledge, inspire each other, and foster a community dedicated to advancing sexual health education.

Six Feet Under
Buried alive. What a horrible way to go. Yazz lay there, in her own thoughts. What else could she do? She was hungry, thirsty, tired, mentally, and physically exhausted, and more than anything, she was bored. She hoped she would die of boredom before anything else, anything else would've been more painful. Like many people had, she and her friends had talked about what they reckon the worst ways to die were, it was a morbid subject, but it came up every now and again. Yazz had always been one to argue her point on drowning, others had mentioned burning alive, slowly and painfully bleeding to death, hung drawn and quartered, and being starved to death. It was strange that none of them had considered being buried alive, it had never come up. But now, she was thinking back to those conversations her and her friends had had, how could they have not thought about it? It took a lot longer than the others, you were completely confined, you couldn't move or do anything, you just had to wait, until your body was physically unable to support a life system anymore, which could take up to four days. Four! By far the longest out of all of them. She recounted some of these conversations just to try and pass the time, anything to pass the time. It was difficult to know how much time had passed since she had been underground, it was difficult to know anything. There were many things that Yazz didn't know, she didn't know where she was, she didn't know how she'd got into the coffin, she'd just woken up there. Yazz also didn't know what time it was, or even what day it was, she guessed at Tuesday, it was Sunday evening when she'd been buried alive, intentionally, and although it had felt like weeks had passed, she was still alive, which means she hadn't died from dehydration, and therefore it couldn't have been more than four days.
