Finding Confidence and Refocusing your Goals

Posted on 17th March 201729th March 2017 by swanny

I have re-written this post a few times already… It keeps evolving and sometimes I find it hard to put my thoughts into words. Confidence is hard to talk about sometimes! I feel that by ‘opening up’, I’m actually leaving myself open to negative response. But anyone who shares any thing on the internet must be happy…

Motivation and Getting Fit

Posted on 12th February 201723rd February 2017 by swanny

I’ve had a pretty lazy few months as far as exercise goes. SO much has been going on in my life that I’ve neglected my own health and wellbeing on a pretty big level. I’ve not been to Karate since mid December and running… well, I have no idea!!! Being a Mum can take up…

I’ve been getting the Papergang subscriptions boxes since their second box, so I thought it was about time I did an unboxing.
