Update/Valentine's Day Wishes

I have discovered that the art of baking is incredibly soothing! I find myself looking out for cake stands and icing utensils and cute, colourful edible sprinkles to embellish my creations ever since my tea party fundraiser (which by the way, has surpassed all my expectations and has gone on to raise just over €400! Thank you all!) Finding a new hobby is the best way to get over a low period, is what I've been told and I can't help believe that it's true! Red velvet cupcakes, I have no idea how I've gone this long without knowing of your existence. Those and Instagram, my new social media of choice and I'm not even remotely ashamed at the constant flow of filtered-snaps I post on a daily basis!

Feeling Feelings

I read over my posts from the last few months at the weekend. It struck me how open and optimistic and almost “all-knowing” and confident they sounded. Did those words really come from me? It’s quite heartening to know that I had that strength and yet, disheartening now that I've had a little setback.

I came across this wonderful cartoon today. I do not own the rights to it, I do not claim it as mine but I wish to share it with all of you because I think it articulates so much more than one of my posts ever could:

Winter is coming....

I'm so very excited this time of year! Here are just a few things catching my attention right now... 

All that Jazz....again!

I had a glorious weekend this October Bank Holiday-a dreadfully rainy and stormy but wonderfully fun-filled and musical time at the Cork Jazz Festival.

World Mental Health Day

I'm taking a break from my very busy day (stressing too much isn't going to get anything done!) to ask of you, my readers, how ever many of you are out there, a very small favour. It's only small. A small step to create the world that I hope we'll all be living in the years to come.
