FUSEBOX: A new space for young creatives in Kingston Upon Thames

I’ve been sniffing around the building site at the back of John Lewis in Kingston for ages. As soon as I heard the renovation would include a brand new co-working space – something I’ve been seeking for ages – my interest was piqued I had also heard that the project would include some space for…

The Power of Daily Affirmations

(Ad/Gifted Product) Have you ever considered using daily affirmations as part of your morning routine?

The Downside To Being Freelance

Earlier this month, I wrote a blog post called ‘The Highs of Being a Freelancer‘.

My Indian Adventure

I recently wrote about the Laws of Attraction and the overwhelming desire I have to visit India. Well, I am beyond excited to let you, my readers, know, that I am making that dream a reality. This Christmas, I fly out to Delhi for a 15 day trip to India. Whilst there, I will visit…

Dreams

I’d be lying if I said I was looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. I’m not. But, I’m not sitting around dreading it either. I’ve never had a dream job. Even as a kid, I had no idea what I wanted to do. Whilst I was at school, trying to decide whether to…
