Bright Life! Bright Life!
Hello, my little lightbulbs! I hope that your week is going well! How are you feeling today? How present have you been today? How much time have you spent in the moment, not thinking of the past or worrying about the future? Do you feel checked into or checked out of your body right now? [...]
Hello, my little lightbulbs! A very belated happy new year! I hope that the dawning of this new year is treating you well and if it hasn't, at least you're getting the bad bits out of the way early. I started this new year quite differently than others. I welcomed it in with loved ones, [...]
Hello, my little lightbulbs! How are you? ‘Tis the season to be jolly, so why the f*ck is Jess writing about grief? As well as being a sneaky little goth - I think it’s a very important time to talk about the seemingly not-so-Christmassy experiences of grief, loss, sadness, isolation, and depression. Now, more than [...]
Hello, my little lightbulbs! How are we doing? In my last post, I told you about my recent trip to Amsterdam. I also, in that post, promised to tell you more about a few of the places I decided to eat in during my short two-night stay! I’m big into my cafes, and finding good [...]
Before moving back to the UK from Japan in 2020, one of the ways that I consoled myself was by promising to visit some countries in Europe. I hadn't done much travelling in Europe and it was a good way to keep my independent and adventurous streak alive and in touch. However, I, like most [...]
Hello, my little lightbulbs! How are you? How is autumn treating you? Are you enjoying the warm, cosy evenings or dreading the icy, rainy weather? I myself am enjoying it so far. I have a lot of love for autumn. It’s a very mild season in the UK, mild here meaning a lack of extremity. [...]
Hello, my little lightbulb! I’m here to accept my award as the most sporadic blogger of 2022 - *begins emphatic bowing and collects roses from stage floor*. My acceptance speech will begin: Blogging has taken a back seat for me over the last few weeks, through no fault of its own really. I promised myself [...]
On Monday 20th June, I started out on a 21-day cleanse led by Michelle Burrows, my kickboxing coach. Michelle had previously chatted about how much she has benefitted from doing the cleanse herself over the years and how she was considering running it as a programme. After some excitement from our group, she sent out [...]
Dear Dad, Happy birthday! It’s been three years since you celebrated one- how crazy is that? I wanted to write this because this year feels different than the others. It’s been a bit of a brain dump so probably not the most cohesive thing I’ve written, but I suppose that’s fine all things considered. I also [...]
Hello my little lightbulbs! How’s your week been? With most exams over and summer getting well underway I’m hoping that you’re feeling good, and after our food for motivation post, motivated! It seems quite fitting for the time of year to talk about stress as it can be a time for a lot of pressure [...]
