One year ago today, on the 16th September 2018, I published my first ever blog post on This Brilliant Day! It’s fair to say that I had very little idea of what blogging involved when I first started this blog. For the first few months, I would just quickly type up a post and publish …
When I was organising my old notebooks a few weeks ago, I came across some poems I wrote as a child. I remember I used to write quite a lot of poetry when I was little, and I enjoyed reading poems too. Then I hardly wrote any throughout my teenage years, but came back to …
It’s time to review how my August Challenges went, and let you know my September plans! In August I set myself two challenges: Use up 3 products / items from my ‘use up pile’ each day. Work on blog improvements for 1 hour each day. So, how did I do in my challenges? Using Things …

They are supposed to have many benefits for physical and mental health. I had been experiencing anxiety so I hoped it would be a …
As usual, I have set myself challenges this month. These are my August challenges: Use up 3 products / items from my ‘use up pile’ each day. Work on blog improvements for 1 hour each day. Here is a little more detail about my challenges: Using things up I set myself the exact same challenge …
