Site Maintenance and Fixes
Hi all! I’m in the midst of updating this blog to give you all the best user experience possible. This includes redesigning emails and reducing the number and type of emails you will receive from me (unless you choose otherwise). However, I’ve noticed that ‘contact me’ currently isn’t working, and emails are not reaching me. Rest assured, if you have contacted me, I’m not ignoring you, I most likely just haven’t received the email. I aim to have this issue resolved within the next 24-48 hours. Thank you for your patience.

Why I left Youtube (I’m back now)
Over a year ago, I excitedly started up a Youtube channel where I would talk about minimalism and decluttering. However, about six videos in, my dad got severely ill and I stopped. I talk more about that, here, in my new video. I will be posting more content to my channel in the future, where I will talk more about the minimalist lifestyle, and related content (and I’ll definitely be working on my Youtube skills going forward!) It’s going to be an interesting, exciting endeavour, and I look forward to the journey ahead.

A Return to Youtube
Morning all! I’m writing this before I head out to work for the day and am excited to say I will be returning to creating content for my Youtube channel this week. A lot of things happened before that derailed me and sapped my motivation. I lost my dad, for one thing. I lost my self belief, and for a while, felt like I even lost my writing voice. I carried on writing regardless, but I stopped making video content. I’m not going to lie, I’m nervous, and I’m far comfier with writing than I am with talking. But that’s part of the journey isn’t it? That’s how you get…

Why I’m Experimenting With Extreme Minimalism
This morning, I’m feeling giddy with excitement, inspiration, and curiosity. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this way. Perhaps being over 3 weeks sober has something to do with it. That, and the extreme(ish) minimalist experiment I’m about to undertake. After a Saturday intentionally binging my favourite videogames (which I’d been looking forward to for days), I feel mentally refreshed. Specifically, I feel ready to act on the serious life questions I’ve been asking myself and journalling about for the past couple of months: It’s questions like these that have lead to me questioning my relationship with alcohol (which I’ve now severed), and my relationship with the stuff I…

Decluttering Alcohol from My Life: 6 Things That Were Keeping Me Stuck
A couple of weeks ago, at half 1 in the morning, I awoke filled with regret for the bad choices I’d made yet again. I wasn’t hungover, although this time I had consumed enough comfort food and alcohol for my stomach to eject its shameful burning contents down the toilet when I’d sooner have been writing. It had been years since I’d eaten and drank enough to throw up, although I was ashamed about the almost daily habit of one or two glasses a night I’d progressed to (with one or two days alcohol free). Not to mention what it was doing to my bank account. That evening, I lay…
