5 tips for a Happy Soul

I am my own worst enemy when it comes to feeding my soul, being happier and generally looking after my mental health, so I thought I would write a list of things that always spark some light and can then motivate me to ensure I make it a habit! 

mental health, how to be happy, confidence, self esteem, fashion, affordable fashion, ebay fashion, designer dupe, primark jacket, asos must haves, h&m haul, velvet shoes, zara earrings, ootd, street style,

One of the most important parts of my day, pre children, used to be my time to read! I would either buy or head to the library to gather up some books to get my mind wandering into pages of great literature, I found I would switch off from reality and my anxiety would reduce. Reading can relax the mind where it gets lost inside the words of a book rather then getting lost in worry and anxiety. 

mental health, how to be happier, grow in confidence, help your self esteem, fashion, affordable fashion, ebay fashion, designer dupe, primark jacket, asos, h&m haul, velvet shoes, zara, ootd, street style,

Accept compliments, this is something I have struggled with over the years where I haven't got the greatest self esteem I find it hard to accept compliments but I started to consciously change this, instead of saying oh gosh no when someone would say something nice I now pause and thank them reiterating what they said in my head. This helps to accept what they have said and to store it away in a little lovely box inside our mind. We need to give ourselves more credit for being awesome.

Have a moment away from the fast pace lives we live. When I was little me and my family would go for walks every Sunday in beautiful places to feel free and have fun, these are some of my happiest moments. We recently moved home where our garden backs onto fields, I am so lucky and love the views! I try to make sure I take the children across the fields for a "bear hunt" like the ever so famous We're going on a bear hunt book, I want them to feel that sense of freedom, peace and fun exploring like I did as a child. Going on walks is a time I find myself feeling relief, where I can take a deep breath and walk off my worries. My favourite places are forests and beaches, they are the places I feel most at peace with myself, so when you feel like you can't escape your mind go for a long walk.

mental health, how to be happier, grow in confidence, help your self esteem, fashion, affordable fashion, ebay fashion, designer dupe, primark jacket, asos must haves, h&m haul, velvet shoes, zara earrings, ootd, street style,

This is something I have always given to people I work with to help them recognise how they are good people, to recognise what makes them as awesome as they are. We aren't great at looking at us in a positive light, where we can stand in front of a mirror and with great confidence say why we are a great wife or a good friend.....so now let's do this! On a various pieces of paper draw a cloud in the centre of the paper with a heading on each piece of paper, one could be daughter, one could be friend, partner, colleague etc. Draw five lines out of each cloud and then write down a reason you are a good friend on each line....so a good listener? Loyal? And answer 5 positive reasons on each cloud.

Laugh. Laughing is good for the soul, surround yourself with fun loving people who guarantee to make you laugh, or pop on that funny film. The film that guarantees to make me laugh is Stepbrothers, basically anything with Will Ferrell! Even when I am at my lowest and feel so deep in sadness I am guaranteed to at least crack a smile when fun lovely people or a funny film come on the screen. Laughing is also infectious! Spread the laughter and the fun.

OOTD: Fairy Tale Moments and Announcement!

You ever got that moment when you feel like you are a Disney princess...well this was my moment! I adore this skirt, teamed with a leather jacket and statement necklace I felt like a princess with edge! This is also the start of my maternity style....yep I am pregnant!! Its so hard to find things and to dress when pregnant, not much around so I am trying to experiment and look at various styles and ways to wear things differently.

OOTD: Its all about the fluffy jumper....

Hi Loveys,

What a cold few days its been, time for warm furry jumpers teamed with pencil skirts and purple lipstick! I love teaming big jumpers like this one from New Look with a pencil skirt, loving a bold print. Leopard print and purple go so well together.

As you all know I love finding bargains on Ebay, this bag was from that wonderful website! A studded turquoise clutch bag with a chunky chain from Primark was what I needed to make this look complete.
