My first week back at work! It was quite busy overall but not overly taxing which was nice to come back to. I really didn’t do well with my workout goals this week, I hadn’t aimed high but didn’t get a single yoga of HIIT session in. I do daily stretches (and haven’t missed a […]

This spread shows that for March, I began using a consistent theme for a month in terms of decoration. In this case, green and purple with quite a few flowers. The theme was triggered by the purchase of green and purple pastel Stabilo highlighters. As with recycling spread layouts, I really like the monthly themes

I was showing off some new metallic highlighters this week. They do look great but are quite ink-heavy so they bled quite badly- which is why I haven’t had much use from them since unfortunately. As mentioned previously, I really like this particular spread because it’s really easy to switch up depending on the theme

With March arriving, this spread again comes into play to span the week as the month changes. I acquired some new metallic pens this week and used them to add a 3D effect to my text boxes- thank goodness for dotted paper or I’d never have been able to pull it off! I also tried

Again, this spread has a lot of space between the text boxes, which leaves lots of room for a bit of decoration. I’ve always been a Harry Potter fan (going strong 19 years later!) so I decided after finding an old sticker book to show my house pride! This is again another spread that has

Washi mad! You could tell I’d just bought a bunch of new ones, and while I’m not sure how this looks at the end of the day, it was fun to mess around with them. This is another one of my now regular layouts, but as this was the first attempt I’ve since made a

Wow this spread is in girly colours- not like me at all! I really like the minimalistic idea. I also really like the sticker- an even bigger throwback from my 2012 Smiggle diary!! Going forward, the thing I like about this spread is how much you can customise it. As there is quite a bit

I’m not going to lie, while I loved my April Rainbow theme, it took a lot of effort- I don’t think I’ve done so much colouring in since… I actually don’t know when; art has never been my forte and I didn’t really get into the colouring in to relax thing (give me an old

A/N: Yes, I’m aware I missed a week, whoops! Didn’t have the time to write up week 4 so moved this one up from my drafts. This was really my first week of a ‘nice’ Instagram-inspired spread and I love how it looks; lovely and simplistic! I really like the space that’s left between the

Mid January! I flew back to Australia for a month- in the days when we could freely travel, shows how quickly it’s changed! I was quite uptight about the flight honestly, as last time I flew back I’d spent a lot of the flight unwell but apparently I’m much better as a solo traveller and
