A couple of days before we entered the new year, someone uploaded a picture of a Happiness Planner. Intrigued, I went to research what this was all about and I only was on the site for a couple of minutes before I went to purchase one. As soon as I received it in the post, I couldn't wait to open it. I was just so mesmerised on how it looked. I even adored the pretty pink box it came in.
With your planner, you also get these printables (they have more available on their website here), which are some useful resources that help you see what you want to achieve in the year, or even long term. I'm more of a "don't rush me" sort of person, in that I don't want to set myself a specific time/date to accomplish a task. An example is that I want to get back to doing my driving lessons, so for the short term, I'd make that a resolution but passing my test will be the goal of mine, which isn't something I'd necessary do by the end of the year, but I'll be able to use these printables to motivate me to reach that goal. Because I've never done this, anything I set myself always goes out the window by January 2nd.


This is where all the fun starts. Beginning of each month, you have your plan, where you'll be able to set yourself some personal and work goals and what happy things you'll be doing. During the course of the month, you'll be able to go back and add to it as you wish because not everything is clear at the beginning of the month.





Each page within the planner is per day, which means you're able to record so many aspects of that particular day. You have things like your exercise routine, your meals, your schedule, to do-list as well as what you're excited about that day, what the good things were and what you hope for the next day. They've even included quotes for each day, to give you motivation from the word go. Alongside this, they also have quotes dotted around the planner.




When the month has ended, you can then reflect on well it went (or not) by using the ratings like I mentioned above, but you can also describe the month in 3 words, the happy moments, the struggles, what you learnt and so many other areas. It's a great tool to go back and see how each month has differed.



2015 was, at many times, a stressful and tough place for me, really bringing me down. Although I did have the highs, I had so many lows. Nearing the end of the year, I had time to look back on it and I thought, '2016 needs to be a more positive year. I need to make more time for me, and make me happier'. I can't make 2016 another year of so many negative thoughts so I wanting to do something about it, I went out and got myself a Happiness Planner, enabling to better myself as a person. Yes, I will have bad days but hopefully, I won't see them so negatively as I did before. I do have some very supportive people out there but I need to be able to support myself.

I'm really looking forward to be able to fill these pages with good memories, achieving those goals and be that happy person once again. Focus on what makes you happy.




Do you have the Happiness Planner? What other methods do you use to make yourself happy? I'd love to hear what you have to say!

Look after yourself,

It's not unclear to see that I've not posted on here for a little while now but I've had quite a manic end to 2015. I ran into working some long hours, had some issues with my health (it's okay, I'm on the mend now) and just life in general getting in the way a bit, causing me to feel awfully stressed. This isn't a healthy way for me to deal with these situations so I know that I need to make some changes.

I want 2016 to be a better, more positive year and the first thing that I want to do is get back into blogging again. Every moment I spent putting ideas together, creating the posts and changing up the look, I enjoyed it so much and it let me bring out the creative side of me that I rarely get to show and utilise.

I've got some ideas in what I want to post next year so I'm already looking forward in sharing these with you but if there is anything you'd like to see on my blog, then please let me know in the comments below.

Let 2016 be the year you want it to be. Don't let anyone or anything change what you want to accomplish.

Look after yourself,

Body Shop have been creating such gems recently that it encouraged me go in there more than ever. Looking at the minimalistic display, that was the Spa of the World range, the small brown bag caught my eye (and my purse) and this latest purchase is just another item to my ever-growing bath & beauty collection.



After thoroughly enjoying my bath, my skin did feel smooth. I felt quite relaxed but I think the next time I have a bath, I would probably put more of the product in just because I felt that I could have got a lot more out of using this the first time.  At £14, it seems a lot for what it is but it's the cheapest in the range, with the creams and scrubs being over £20, so I kind of feel that I want try and make it last as long as possible. I will just add an additional scoop next time and see if that makes any difference. If I could, I would probably easily use it all in one go, but that would mean £14 goes down the drain (literally) on the first and last use.

I would buy this again and would recommend it to my fellow friends/bath-lovers. Have you tried it? What did you think?
