The January Happy List - New Habits, Discoveries and Little Joys

January 31, 2018 Lauren Natalia

Hello Hello!

If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I love to take note of the little things. Those "flashes of delight" in the everyday that, although small, when noticed and appreciated can truly make such a huge difference to one's overall happiness. Anything from seeing beautiful morning light filtering in through the kitchen window, to a stranger smiling and showing a little kindness, I do my best to look out for these "everyday magic moments" and be grateful for them. When you train your brain to actively look for the good things, it's amazing the change that can occur and how much more exciting life can feel!

So, with that being said, I thought I'd start a monthly "Happiness List" to share the little things that have made me smile, new habits I've been implementing and any fun new discoveries I've made, in the hopes that it can brighten your day and inspire you too!

One Question To Ask Yourself When Planning For The Year Ahead

January 1, 2018 Lauren Natalia

I've always been someone who loves the "fresh start" a New Year brings, and although I believe we can make changes and set intentions anytime, there's definitely something very motivating about the first of January.

Whether you're someone who likes to set resolutions or not, I think it's always beneficial to look back on the year, celebrate the achievements and learn from the lows (that we all have no matter how fabulous life may look on social media).

Christmas Traditions

December 24, 2017 Lauren Natalia

Have you seen that meme that's floating around about "The Two Kinds of People at Christmas"? Well I'm very firmly in the Elf category - I absolutely love this time of year - the decorations, the weather (I'm a summer lover and despite the magic of a white Christmas, hot summery days just scream Christmas to me - what can I say, I'm an Aussie!), and the fact that people just all round seem nicer and kinder this time of year!

For some reason though I haven't been feeling particularly Christmassy yet (and it's already Christmas Eve!) so I thought I'd share a few of our Christmas traditions - some old, some new - in the hopes that it will leave me feeling a little more festive and give you some inspiration too!

We're Married!!

November 24, 2017 Lauren Natalia

So the title of this post says it all... on the 11th November, Tom and I got married!!

It really was the most amazingly magical day that was more than I'd even imagined it could be. On our invitations we'd asked guests to "join us for a celebration of love, laughter, friendship and family" and it truly was an incredible celebration of all those wonderful things!
