#LoveMe Challenge – Day 20
Something you love to wear I love to experiment with different styles and colours. I absolutely love patterns whether that be a simple floral pattern or a unique printed pattern. I love to dress up in different items and definitely have a bit of a shopping addiction with the amount of clothes I own in [...]
#LoveMe Challenge – Day 19
Something You feel strongly about I seriously dislike the word 'hate'. I don't feel like I 'hate' anything. There are things that make me feel uncomfortable and there are things that I dislike - certain tastes or smells for example, but I would never say that I 'hate' them. I also feel extremely uncomfortable when [...]
#LoveMe Challenge – Day 18
Something that feeds your brain So I've managed to miss a few days as I have been manically revising for my driving theory test but I'm back on it now! I absolutely love to be creative. I love to write, to draw, to paint, to design new garments, to visit new events to get ideas [...]
#LoveMe Challenge – Day 15
Something You have done right I have always wanted to work in events. I am quite a creative person and so to have the ability to develop ideas through events and to create something others can enjoy is such a passion of mine. I have recently been promoted into an events role which I feel [...]

#LoveMe Challenge – Day 11
Share a smile I love to smile. I think a smile can brighten anybody's day. A smile can comfort, start a conversation, make a new friend, even cheer someone up. It's a pretty rare thing to see someone smile through the rush hour or when the clouds are grey and brollies tackle the drizzle in [...]
#LoveMe Challenge – Day 5
A note to your past you Dear past me, First of all, stay happy. You will be truly blessed with lots of caring people around you. You'll have to get through some hard and painful times but you will always have someone there. Your confidence will grow but you will always be shy - and [...]
Guest Blog by Becky Prowse – Fight or Flight (My Battle with Agoraphobia)
A few weeks ago I guest posted on a mental health blog, By Lauren Hayley. I’ve had a busy few weeks so have been off the blogosphere for a while but when I visited the page this weekend I was overwhelmed by all the positive comments that had been left on my post. Thank you so much Lauren for letting me share my story. Make sure you check out her blog: bylaurenhayley.wordpress.com
I’ve decided recently to feature some guests here on my blog to showcase some other people’s troubles with mental health. Here we have Becky Prowse who talks about her journey with Agoraphobia. Rebecca also has a fantastic blog where she features and reviews small business across the UK, Pretty & Petit.
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, which means when the sufferer is in an environment or situation that they feel could become difficult or embarrassing to escape, they have a feeling of fear and ultimately this ends up as a anxiety attack.
