Feeling Inspired

A big fan of You tube I was sad when Ella Grace Denton vanished. But following her on instagram I soon discovered she has her own blog. A very very different one too! I love the fact that it is son her own. It isn't filled with the latest make-up or fashion but things she fills her life with, such as veganism, styles, DIY and recipes. It's honest and intriguing. For me her DIY post on a simple yoga routine  has been so useful. I don't believe in the spiritual side of yoga (inner-meditation) and she hasn't pushed that to her readers. Just a simple routine, something to inspire her readers to try something new, something that she enjoy's. It's been super useful to me as her step by step instruction have come in handy rather than just some photos to try and figure out. So if you have a moment I implore you to stroll on over to We Need To Live More.   










Hope you enjoy her blog as much as I do, tell me what you think.

Tea Obsession

It may possibly be because I'm British but it comes as no surprise that I'm a big lover of tea. I don't know what it is but I just can't go a day without it. I used to just limit myself to just plain tea but now I love green tea, Assam and Chai etc. My obsession of tea has now even spanned out to tea cups. As far as even fantasizing about designing my own range. So how quaint that this post should be dedicated to just looking at a bargain Fine Bone China mug (£1.25 down from £5- thank you vm Waitrose). Not only is it very pretty to drink from but it supports the worlds leading museum of art, Victoria and Albert Museum, London. *So I hope these pictures thrill you as much as they do me* she says sarcastically....





p.s. for those interested the design has been adapted from the wallpaper created by Lewis F.Day (1845-1910)

Lack Of

Recently I have learnt a little something about myself that has really started to annoy me! I have like zero motivation or commitment. I will start something and not finish, and its starting to make me feel down. For a good example, this blog. 
I'm so inconsistent with it! I'll have a small bout of inspiration/aka prioritizing time, and then I'll just stop. And I don't know why, Laziness maybe? Another example is my health and wellbeing. I think to myself 'come on beth, lets do some exercise and eat right from now on, future Bethany will thank you for it'. But alas that little pep talk will only spur me on for, I don't know, a few days. Then I'll be sat there chocolate in hand and then get very angry with myself later.
 It's the same with wanting to quit sugar (thanks Sarah Wilson for inspiring me). I know how bad it is for me yet I lack the motivation to continue. 
I know this post sounds drab and a teeny bit negative but I needed to vent. Maybe writing this out will help me realize that i need to set goals and pray more instead of trying to do things on my own.
I'm writing it to somehow express to everyone the questions, WHY are we so darn hard on ourselves?
we are are worst critics of course. WHAT can I do to end this helpless self destructive cycle? Please send help because it's leaving me defeated and feeling all annoyed.
