August Theme - Rest & Relaxation

Week 2 of August and continuing with our theme of encouraging the development of spaces to rest and relax in our homes, we're moving onto bedrooms.

What needs tackling most in your bedroom? Are there any quick wins (e.g. picking up and packing away clothes)? If there's something that is quick to do that will make a big difference, that's a great place to start, but if not, look for a particular spot that you can tackle and change e.g. the bedside table or floor beside the bed. Start with the area closest to your sleep space and gradually move further away, building on the cocoon of restfulness by enlarging the space step by step - remove the visual clutter and distraction so that when it comes to sleeping, you & your mind know that when you're entering the space it's time to rest properly.

Let us know how you get on.

Shark Off Of Halifax

I don't live in Nova Scotia. The nearest big bodies of water to me are rivers, not oceans.

Still feeling awestruck at the sight of this. Apparently, some sharks do curiosity.

August Theme - Rest & Relaxation

This month's theme is Rest & Relaxation and while unfortunately that doesn't mean we get to do no cleaning and sorting, it means that we are considering our own wellbeing. The idea of this month is to make a few chosen spaces in our homes more relaxing.

Starting this week with decluttering your bathroom - make your bathroom a pleasant place to relax and pamper yourself - remove unwanted/unneeded/out of date products, tidy and organise what's left.

Upcoming themes for the rest of the month
* Declutter your sleeping space - clearing the bedside cabinets, floor, organising your sleep area to make it more relaxing when you go to bed
* 'sightlines'. The idea for this week is to clear clutter from your chosen place to chill.

(no subject)

there's a pond with lots of frogs at my job and on my breaks I walk the perimeter and every couple steps I hear a croak and a sploosh and see one swim away. not this guy though, he wasn't scared of me at all :)

Agate Beach



Our next travel stop was the Newport area and our hotel at Agate Beach. There was some fog the day we arrived but the next day dawned completely clear, giving us great views of the nearby lighthouse.
