Current Stationary Crush | That Lame Company

Blog props are beginning to take a more and more important hold upon my life (and flatlay goals), so I've been on the hunt for some pretty stationary and home decor items. I'm also a big believer in helping out "the little people" - supporting independent UK-based businesses with goals I can really get behind. This is where That Lame Company comes in. Run by Chloe and Charlie, a pair of recent graduates, they have a whole host of phone cases and pretty stationary, some of which is made from recycled materials. I picked up some motivational stationary - I really need to get my act together at the moment and having these around me, especially when I'm creating blog post and Instagram photos is a fab way to get motivated. I picked up the Great Ideas Notebook to jot down my freelance articles in, and the Do More Art Print to remind me of why I recently quit my job to go freelance and improve my blogging.  An added bonus was the awesome set of Incentive Art Prints which I got sent for free with my order (yay!). They remind me on a daily basis that #pugstagram is not a hashtag I should be searching on a daily basis and tweeting is not always productive!  What stationary are you lusting over at the moment?

Back to Basics | Day Five

Yes, there was no Day Four post. I fell off of my detox bandwagon a bit and wanted to secure today's health before writing a blog post. Today was really a day for hitting things hard and boy am I exhausted. Currently fighting the urge to write this in a foetal position under my favourite fleece blanket is a challenge.

I am loving how vibrant my fruit bowls are at the moment. I have a major sweet tooth, so fruit really helps me manage to stay off of the artificial sugars and forms a fairly large part of my diet. I have at least three portions of it in my morning smoothie and will most days have a fruit bowl like the one above.

Finally, I hit the gym for probably the longest time ever today. Let's pray that I don't have to walk anywhere tomorrow. The fact that the only bathrooms in my student house are upstairs is probably going to result in me crawling around pathetically. Anyway, the second picture is a couple of gym essentials for me: my water, shower gel & body spray and spare socks (hey, no one wants to be re-using after a hard workout am I right?!).

Love and Light
