Change
Sasha Austin-Seade | 19th April 2018
Ever wondered if change could be easier? If we could skip the uncomfortable part, straight to the part where it's fun again? Alas, change doesn't work like that. I'm going through a year of change in my life. The truth is as much as known these changes are coming, it hasn't made them any easier. Some of them are exciting, part of 'growing up' and

Sasha Austin-Seade | 1st March 2018
Welcome to March, How did we get to the third month of the year already? Your challenge for this month is all about honesty. For the next 30 days be honest about your thoughts and feelings.

Shine a light on.. Body Image
Grace Read | 19th January 2018
We all have a body. And everybody’s body is different. This is a BRILLIANT thing. A truly wonderful thing. We are all different, which means we cannot be compared to each other. We are incomparable! Woohoooooo! And yet…and yet! Somehow, we feel as though we should conform, as though we should fit in. Be a bit more this or that. Have a bit more hair

Book review Go to sleep: Peaceful thoughts for active minds by Sarah Planter Sleep is rarely one of those things I struggle with, I tend to be someone who has the problem of either sleeping too much, or sleeping but still feeling overly tired when I’ve woken up.

FUN FUN FUN
Sasha Austin-Seade | 11th August 2017
Summer is here, the moment we’ve all been waiting for… I think someone may need to tell that to the sun. Sometimes we build our lives waiting for that perfect moment to do something we like or enjoy but why can’t that day be TODAY. How about making the most of today and creating the moment instead of just expecting the moment to happen someday. We
