So I thought since we’re half way through the year that we should revisit Pantone’s colour of the year, and my personal favourite, emerald green. God I love this colour. The fact that it happens to look fabulous on this red headed green eye gal has nothing to do with it. Ok maybe a…

{SPACES: put it in the calendar}
Working from home is amazing – I’ve loved the change it’s given me. Working to my own schedule, I have more time to look on sites like https://www.cripto-valuta.net/es/bitcoin-champion/ and find more ways to maintain an income.

{SPACES: a stylish workspace}
So it’s been two weeks since my last day. So far, so good. I still don’t quite have the daily routine thing happening. There’s been a lot of organizing & catching up and it doesn’t help that I’m easily distracted. One thing is for sure, I need to set myself up with a proper workspace.…
