The Relationship Between Love And Education *

Understandng the connection between love and education can sometimes be hard.

We think of love as this passionate endeavour where both parties continually seek to “keep the flame alive.” But when you look at the people with the best relationships, it’s not all about the physical. There’s something a little more profound going on. 

There’s this idea in love that we should find our perfect partner – someone who complements us in every way. If we’re a little timid, they’re proactive and bold. If we’re a little self-centred, they’re incredibly giving. If we have trust issues, they make up for them with their attentiveness and so on. You get the picture.

My Current Favourites by Beauty Bay

Makeup has always been something that I’ve taken an interest in. With new products hitting the shelves every week, and my favourite brands finding new ways to keep on trend. It’s no secret that Makeup Revolution has always been a hit brand for me.

However, buying makeup nowadays is also about ease of availability. I work full time and it’s not always easy for me to go shopping and grab my favourite products. Whilst reading other beauty blogs, I’ve heard so much about Beauty Bay, but never really taken a dive into their website.

Those who have bought from Beauty Bay know that they are THE place to buy exclusive collaborations such as the Jeffree Starr line. The super pigmented, blend-able formulas are often sold out.

What better way to introduce Beauty Bay to my blog, than a good old wish list?

Keeping busy during lockdown

We’re in a bit of a crazy time at the moment. Literally three months into the new year, and we’ve spent some of that time in lockdown (isolation) and keeping safe at home. I say keeping safe at home rather than being made to stay at home as that’s what we’re ultimately doing – keeping safe.

With no current view as to when the lockdown period will end here in the UK, and with many of us either working from home or on furlough, I wanted to put together a list of things to do to make the most of this lockdown period. Whilst keeping safe at the same time.

The Dimensions of Self Care

Self care is a hot topic at the moment. It’s becoming ever more important to look after yourself and your wellbeing. How many of us really know how, or when to switch off? What is self care anyways and why is self care so important?

There are 5 elements to self care, and they’re all fairly straight forward and should be used a daily reminder to ourselves. We should be asking ourselves the question of am I fulfilling these elements on a daily basis. If we don’t look after ourselves, then how can we expect others to? Or look after others?

A few months ago I had a few sessions of DBT (Dialectical behaviour therapy) which is a type of cognitive behaviour therapy. They were one to one sessions and it really hit home how important self care was. Not only that, but how I was lacking in my own self care.
