Happy New Year, Treasures! Another day, another year, another empty Happy Jar and another set of resolutions. (Image via) I never really write New Year’s resolutions. I usually have some basic plans but don’t tie myself down. For years now, I’ve never really had any specific goals that have held my own attention long enough to stick to them. And...

So the other day I had a conversation with a friend about our morning routines. She’s quite the opposite to me in that she picks her outfits very cautiously and spends a good amount of her morning applying makeup to her already beautiful face. I also put thought into what I wear however I’m not that picky, and put comfort... Read the rest of this post...

Do you allow them to chain you and obliterate your self-confidence in situations where you have every opportunity to shine? So here’s a confession…... Read the rest of this post...

Here’s a rather generic question we often encounter that might just hold something deeper.

It’s time to be honest, every now and then I compare myself to others. Sometimes it’s other writers who are more successful than me, and other times it’s people who I don’t even know, but it seems like they’re living extraordinary lives.

At the weekend, my sisters and I took my brother out clubbing. He’s just turned 18 and wasn’t sure what to expect. Being the youngest and only boy in our household, he’s been mollycoddled a lot by my mum. She kept nagging him to eat before we went out and told him not to drink anything. She seems to have...

There comes a time when we depart the normal world and enter… the world of work! Welcome to the business world: the world of corporate buzzwords, LinkedIn and ego massaging.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the number of tasks you’ve been meaning to check off on your to do list? Do you remember beating yourself up after only achieving a B grade on an exam instead of an A?

Just two months ago I had no idea about what to do with my life. I felt as though all that I was ever going do was sit on my tea stained sofa and live happily in my imaginary world, which I was too chicken to make a reality. I became fixated on one thing and became trapped in my narrow... Read the rest of this post...
