Spoiler alert: it’s probably not as much of a thing as you might think. Do you feel anxious in a yellow room? Does the colour blue make you feel calm and relaxed?  Despite the general lack of research in this area, the concept of colour psychology has become a hot topic in marketing, art, design, and other areas. Much of the evidence in this area is anecdotal at best, but researchers and experts have made a few important discoveries and observations about the psychology of colour. So how exactly does colour work in terms of mood, performance and behaviour? Research has shown that our bra ..read more

Some people can’t resist chocolate, some just love reality TV a little too much… I just can’t get enough of lists that promise to resolve the chaos in my life. And also chocolate covered pretzels, but that’s a story for another day. You’ll see that I added the constant list browsing to one of my less good habits, and this is because I feel like what started as a helpful thing, really became a not so helpful infatuation. Since my daughter was born, the day to day chaos has obviously increased (I mean, where does all this laundry come from?!) and my need to find some control has escalated grea ..read more

You’ve probably heard of feng shui but if you haven’t, in short, it’s the ancient Chinese practice that charts the balance of energy, or chi, via scientific calculations. The goal of feng shui is to invite positive chi into your home so that your life feels both energised and balanced, plus it’s a relatively simple way to improve the vibes of your space. Now, to get fully immersed into those vibes and have a home that’s 100% feng shui-ed you’d probably have to build it from scratch again which is not practical at all. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do some smaller improvements. Even if it’s t ..read more

I’m still very grateful that no one gave me a credit card before I was 23. When I say that I haven’t been the worst, I mean that I managed to get to adult life without ruining my credit score and with my debt under control. But when I say I haven’t been the best, it means that I didn’t do much with my money at all, apart from spending it. So a couple of years ago, I decided I had to at least know where I was ..read more

It feels like I’ve made it to the ‘other side’ now. Don’t get me wrong, the day to day with a baby is still full-on, however, I feel like my life is not such a blur anymore and I’m almost pretty sure it’s Wednesday today. I love journaling and documenting and whilst it was quite hard to keep track of notes in the first few weeks after my baby was born, I tried my best to scribble some things down to make sure I would remember them later. Even the parts I didn’t want to remember really (...sigh). So, that’s what the following lines are about. The things I learned on the job, the surprises, the ..read more

One of the best things about reading is that books can take you anywhere. Reading a story to your child and giving them the wonderful gift of travelling the world and beyond without having to leave the house is a truly beautiful thing. It’s no secret that diversity is an issue when it comes to books written for children and young adults, but filling your child’s bookshelf with literature that celebrates the whole spectrum of life is slowly getting easier, with publishers and authors embracing a more realistic representation of the world, whether that’s reflecting racial diversity, normalising ..read more
