September 17, 2019 25 Comments

Hi,

It’s been quite a while since I came on here and it actually does feel wierd a bit, hopefully I gain momentum and be more consistent in the weeks to come. How you all doing? How was your Summer? I hope you had a great one, mine was okay, we travelled to visit friends and family and now back at it again with school runs and meal prepping, basically back to reality lol. So today’s post is all about motivation, we’ve all heard about writer’s block but what about what to do when you don’t have blogging motivation anymore?

February 9, 2017 No Comments

Hi everyone, can you believe how fast this week is going? So today was one of those days where the weather decided to just do its own thing. It’s either raining, drizzling or too windy and believe me, it’s not pleasant at all.

That’s when I thought of this title eat, spray, love like honestly.
