AD - PR Gift 🌞 Happy Saturday!⁣
⁣
Putting the instant in Instagram as I’m spending my morning drinking @saintscoffee_ seasonal blend coffee in my dressing gown about to watch Drag Race ☕️ this Saints Coffee blend is defintley my slow morning weekend coffee as I love how this blend has lovely hints of chocolate to it! 😍⁣
⁣
I have my @passionplanner next to me as I’m gonna start planning my week (and will most likely play with all my stickers) and I am eagerly waiting for my Apple Pencil delivery so I can finally play with Procreate on my iPad 🤩⁣
⁣
Defintley taking it easy this morning and surrounding myself with things that make me happy before we make most of this glorious sunshine and go for a countrywide walk - Northamptonshire has some great spots! 👌🏼⁣
⁣

Spring is in the air, I have a pep in my step and one thing that makes my heart and eyes lift with happiness is having a bunch of beautifully arranged flowers from an independent florist in my home 😍⁣⁣

With several occasions always round the corner like birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and Mother & Father’s Day, I thought this would be handy! Here’s some I’ve included (so far):⁣⁣

ONE YEAR AGO! ⏪ Are you feeling optimistic about navigating the roadmap ahead? ⁣
⁣
Now England’s roadmap has been announced, I am ~finally~ starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel - but I know there’s still a lot we need to do in order for us to have the taste of normality again! Let’s just keep everything crossed as I’m sure like me, you wanna be able to hug and visit your family and friends again 🥺⁣
⁣
This time last year, we never could had predicted what was going to happen in a few weeks time. I remember this day so well! I had the day off work, I went to @tenhandscafe with my friend to enjoy coffee & brunch before our evening pantomime performance 😍 it was such a great day and I can’t wait to make more memories like this again with family & friends 🥰 ⁣
⁣
Tell me what you’re looking forward to doing again, or where you can’t wait to visit again? I obviously can’t wait to start navigating Northamptonshire again!!! 😂 sending my thoughts to anyone who has felt uneasy today! ⁣

AD - Paid Partnership with @localgrocers 🍎 Happy Sunday! Are you thinking about doing the dreaded food shop ahead this week? Why not do it all online shop local too!⁣

I have a NEW blog post that explains everything you need to know about Local Grocers, how it works, what you can order and where they deliver too as it’s not just for Northamptonshire folk - you can order if you’re based in Leicestershire and Warwickshire too! 🙌🏻⁣

Do you agree with me? 👀 ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I LOVE that so many more people are starting to see the benefits of supporting local & independent businesses! It’s what I encourage people to do on my channels and it gives me a warm glow whenever I see my favourites thrive, especially during these unprecedented times 🥰⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But here’s the thing: I can’t help but wonder whether the whole “supporting small & local businesses” thing has become a lockdown/pandemic trend!? 🥴⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
DON’T make it a trend like a TikTok dance craze! Make it a lifestyle choice and let’s continue this! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
When this pandemic ends, let’s continue to support our small businesses like they’ve supported us: our farm shops, coffee shops, Etsy sellers and many more! ⁣
⁣
Let’s not forget about the little guys who have struggled and survived throughout all this and have supported us during the lockdowns! ❤️⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
What do you think? Be honest with me. Have you always been a small business supporter or do you think this pandemic has shown you just how important it is? I’d be keen to hear your thoughts ☺️⁣⁣⁣
