Reading… ‘Why Not Me?’ by Mindy Kaling. I’m not far into it but so far it’s living up to her first book ‘Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?’. The woman is a comical genius.

Watching… 2 completely different things. The first is Fortitude. I’m a little behind as I’m only a little more than half way through season 1. The second is the total opposite end of the spectrum with Grey’s Anatomy. I need something light and fun to balance out the seriousness of Fortitude.

Listening to… Elise Cripe’s podcast ‘Elise Gets Crafty’. It’s my favourite and I have a good few to catch up on so I’m listening to them on the drive to and from work.

Pinning… gel nail inspo and healthy(ish) food ideas.

Drinking… a lot more tea than I used to…

Scrapping… nothing and feeling guilty about it.

Enjoying… a slightly quieter February after a pretty chaotic January.

Cooking… a lot of easy dinners like turkey burgers and sweet potatoes

Focusing on… saving more and spending less. It’s not going too badly but I could still watch my spending a little more.

Taking… a mindfulness meditation class. I’m enjoying it but I don’t think 5 weeks is enough. where do I sign up for life?

Looking forward to… a trip to Budapest in early March!!

One Little Word – 2017

So I may have gone totally AWOL on my word for 2016. It was a total mess. I exercised balance alright, but in two halves not as a whole throughout the year. For that reason, I’ll be carrying Balance over into 2017 with me. I still wanted to have a new word for this year too so I considered a few but one word has continued to jump out to me since early January. So my word for 2017 is Focus.

Usually it takes me a while to decide on my word but this year it has seemed pretty clear from the get go what it would be. I usually look up dictionary definitions of the words and searched for quotes on it on Pinterest. I wasn’t blown away by the dictionary definition but I didn’t let that put me off.

 {FOCUS; (noun) an act of concentrating interest or activity on something}

Last year I  signed up to Ali Edwards’ One Little Word workshop. I really stuck to it for the few months but then it seemed to trail off.  I haven’t signed up again this year but I do plan to go back over some of the lessons from last year that really stood out to me. Other than that I plan to record my progress a little bit here and on my Pinterest and Instagram account. The thing I love most about OLW is that you can use it and document it however you like.

Are you taking part in One Little Word this year? What’s your word for 2017?
