Freebie Friday – You are enough

Freebie Friday – You are enough

It's Friday! I want to start giving something away each week. Something small, but a token of gratitude to people who take time out of their day for me and to check out my work. You may notice that this is my first post, and I wouldn't even consider my site to be...

I love Sunday’s. Lazy mornings and roast dinners

I love Sunday’s. Lazy mornings and roast dinners.

One thing I especially love to do on a Sunday, which has started to become a huge help to me, is to sit down with my planner and organise the coming week. I’m old school so everything is in my Filofax or spreadsheet. It’s become a vital part of my week and helping me stay on top of my work and avoid the dreaded burnout. It’s important to try to schedule time for yourself and your business too because it’s so easy to become consumed in our businesses we forget to work on them.

Do you have any rituals or routines to help you stay on top of things? I’d love to hear.

It’s Friday! What a week it’s been? I’m off to switch my computer off till Monday and dream of the days I can get dressed up again and drink cocktails with my favourite ladies.

Looking back over some of my favourite photos from last year taken at a shoot @menagerie_restaurant with gorgeous models @sophie_baines_ and @bibimachin wearing @prodigal_fox

Really excited that a website for a project I’ve been working with was just mentioned on BBC midlands. @findergurupeopletracers started last year during the lockdown and is going from strength to strength. They started working with The Casey Project to help people be reunited with soldiers from World War 2. Go check them out. It’s a lovely story and Finder Guru are even helping me with my own family tree. If you follow them on Facebook you can be in with a chance of winning your own DNA kit from Ancestry U.K.

Just looking back over some old photos. I took this on a photo workshop with @georgiarosehardy about 6 or 7 years ago. It was such an amazing day. The model @merikagreenphotography is a super talented photographer herself so it was great to be around so many talented women.

Your creativity is a gift and you owe it to the world to share it and be generous with it.

The new workshop from @conscious.female.entreprene

The new workshop from @conscious.female.entrepreneurs amazingly sold out within 12 hours! Super proud of @jess__cunningham_ and had so much fun designing these beautiful workbooks. Go give them a follow to know when membership opens up again and for news of any more amazing workshops like these.

I’ve absolutely loved the rare moments I’ve been able to get out and take some photos lately. It’s been a welcome break from the monotony of lockdown. Every day feels the same at the moment so going out for walks with my camera have been so therapeutic.

I’ve still been very busy with design lately so will have some projects to share soon.

Thanks to @sincerelysophiephotography for getting in front of the camera for a change and modelling for me.

I took a day off today. I even switched off my phone for a couple of hours and guess what? The world didn’t end. It was so so needed too.

Last night my heart was racing and my chest hurt. I woke up this morning feeling like I’d been hit by a bus. I don’t know if it was physical or anxiety, or too many pancakes... but I knew it was my body telling me to slow down. I have a lot on at the moment and while I’m trying my best to meet deadlines, please everyone and do everything as fast as I can for people - I’m just one human and I can only do so much. Message replies might be a little slow sometimes, but I’m still here beavering away.

I’ll be catching up with everything properly next week but for now, here’s a reminder that if you feel like you need a break, it’s usually because you do. Listen to your body.
