Spring Cleaning: What to Do With Your Unwanted Items
There is something super therapeutic about spring cleaning your home, cupboards and wardrobes… Not only that but decluttering, whether in the Spring or any other time of year for that matter, is good for the soul- we’re convinced of it.
The Art of Enjoying to Say No
Saying no to someone can sometimes be a difficult and awkward encounter. Be it a friend, family member or co-worker, it’s facing the fear of potentially sounding selfish or rude, or just wanting to be a full-time people pleaser. It’s tough to admit we can’t do it all, but even tougher to keep up with a constantly jam-packed calendar. Not giving ourselves the grace of boundaries quickly leads to burn-out and adverse impacts when juggling multiple work or social commitments.

The Positives Of Long Distance Relationships
Everyone talks about the negatives of being in a long distance relationship, how they are destined to fail, but not many people talk about the positive sides.
Long distance relationships have definitely become more common after the pandemic separated many couples and with the rise of social media making it easier to communicate with people across the globe. But they’ve definitely been an integral part of many relationships for hundreds of years.
Before facetiming and phone calls were a thing, those in long distance relationships sent out handwritten letters to each other. Victorian poets Elizabeth and Robert Browning were known to send lyrical letters to one another throughout the 1800’s when distance kept them apart. But who said the letter had to be all poetic – James Joyce wrote to his partner “Goodnight, my little farting Nora, my dirty little fuckbird!”
Just because we have easy access to smartphones, doesn’t mean that a handwritten letter or a small ‘just because’ gift in the mail won’t brighten up their day, especially if differing time zones make it more challenging to communicate in real time.
Long distance relationships can come in many forms from meeting someone online who lives elsewhere, to your married partner getting a job in a different city for a while, to those who are actively in the military. And while these can bring about their own challenges, they can also be highly positive for all parties involved.
