My Top 5 Reality Shows

22 March 2016

Eldwick, Bingley, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
I have a guilty pleasure. It’s low-brow and I’m not proud of it, but I love cheesy reality shows. The cheesier the better. They’re good, cheap entertainment and a good distraction on a lazy day at home. Whenever I’m unwell, my instinct is to download as many shows as possible to binge-watch throughout the day. The list could be endless, and some shows such as House of DVF, Geordie Shore, Vanderpump Rules and Eric & Jessie: Game On are also some favourites but didn’t quite make the cut. Over the past few months, I’ve found more and more shows to get into, and realised I enjoy them so much, I would share my top five on Anika May.

How I Stay Focused (and Extra Sparkly)

16 March 2016

Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire
Staying focused as a blogger can be really difficult. I often find I'm trying to work hard but really can't focus (or stay extra sparkly) when I need to. Through spending time in different jobs, working from home and blogging full-time, I've figured out a few ways I can stay focused and complete a task in good time.

It's Still Wellie Season

12 March 2016

Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire
So technically, it's spring. Honestly, there's been very little snow and I'm quite disappointed as 2015/2016 was expected to have one of the worst winters ever. Actually, there's only been two days of traffic-stopping snow in West Yorkshire, and the enormous floods did way more damage than the snow has. Either way, I'm still saying it's wellie season. 

Six Ways to Make Your Lunch Break More Exciting

9 March 2016

Lunch could easily be described as the best part of a working day. There's no stress and there's food - what else do you need? However, a lunch break can be boring if there isn't much to do. I've read articles on making the most of the lunch time we have, or managing motivation levels to be most productive during lunch - but none of them really made much sense to me. There's a certain mental attitude that will make lunch better, but there are also physical tasks that can be done to create an entertaining environment. I see my lunch as a break away from my job, so the last thing I want to be doing is... my job. There are only so many to-do lists that can be written and windows to stare out of. For some, a lunch break can drag on for way too long; but I have several methods of making that magical hour a lot more exciting.
