Happy 2023!!!

Happy 2023 ma dude!!! I hope this year has been kind to you so far :) 

Had the best Christmas and new year ever had and reflecting on 2022 my only goal was to make it through the year which I not only did but fucking smashed it, I've come SO far with my mental health it's ridiculous i'm really proud of the person that i'm becoming I didn't expect to make it this far; some personal highlights of 2022 was donating 100 fairy pieces to a local charity and being verified on Pinterest. 

Sorry for the lack of content on the blog I've been a really busy bee, still been posting on Pinterest everyday however and have lots of new content on here coming soon! 

SO what does 2023 hold in store well, i'm about to be volunteering for charity and teaching how to make the fairy pieces at their arts and crafts club which i'm super excited about, among some other things on the horizon but basically we're doing bits out here n 2023 is looking and feeling fucking goooood.  

I didn't really set a proper goal other than to try my best (no matter what that may look like) but whatever your goal is for 2023 I really hope you reach it, these past 3 years have been the roughest so it'd be nice if 2023 was the breath of fresh air you needed.

P.S I've just tried the HIMI jelly gouache paint for the first time and I absolutely rate it!!! 

Till next time,

Crawford&Black - 36 Colouring Pencils X Review

Image
  I needed some new colouring pencils and The Works had a sale on so I managed to get some Crawford&Black colouring pencils for £3 which I didn't think was bad for 36 colours and a sharpener. I've only tried their sketchbooks which I really like the quality of, for the price they're amazing and was interested to try their other products.   I did a swatch for you below, the colours are in the order that they are in the packaging; not in rainbow colour order but an order of cools and warms which I quite liked as it's different. Not all brands have a good cool to warm ratio and I think the colour selection is great. The packaging doesn't have any names on them but I don't really mind since there's a colour order to them.  The consistency is kinda hard at first and the colour pay off is nice on some colours; I didn't press on that hard for the swatches in hind sight I probably should have but I wanted to see what they're like naturally without pressu

Habits To Combat Anxiety, Depression and Low Self-Esteem X Mental Health Monday

Image
Happiness isn't a permanent state remember life's like a heart beat it goes up and down and without the downs can't appreciate the ups, so being all sunshine and rainbows is actually toxic positivity which is super unhealthy and unhelpful for combating anxiety/depression but you can strive for feeling content and fulfilled with your life; which in turn provides real happiness, healthy positivity and improves your self- esteem. Accept that some things you cannot control but you can control how you react in how much you let it affect you, sometimes no amount of worrying or anxiety can improve, fix or change situations - infact you can actually make things worse as what you think you attract and all that jazz, you just gotta ride it out wait for better days to come man.  "Prevention is the best medicine" and that's exactly what CBT teaches you, if you don't know what CBT is then you can read my previous post on the topic  here .  It's normal not to be per

Live For The Moment X Mental Health Monday

Image
If my psychotic episode taught me anything, it'd be to live for the now - don't take tomorrow for granted because life really could be over sooner than you imagined. I'm healing and can see things clearer now but it wasn't this way for about 8 months, I really did think life could be over at any given hour to come. I'm not going into details about the psychotic episode I've probably said too much already, but there are things that have changed as a result of it; like living for today, making the most out of life and being grateful for the little things. See my psychotic episode forced me to give up for a while on absolutely everything in life and my mindset may not have been perfect but since beginning to heal I've learnt that living for the moment certainly has it's benefits. I've achieved so much in the past 6 months it's unreal the difference it's made having this mindset shift from leaving everything till tomorrow to just getting shit don
