Today is International Women's day which is a day that woman unite across the world to fight for equality! I can't tell you how sad it makes me that in 2018, women are still campaigning for equal rights - a movement started by the Suffragettes in the early 1900's.  Those brave ladies started this fight for us and over 100 years later, despite the vast improvements to women's rights, we still aren't equal in all areas of society.It really is time to #PressforProgress and do what we can to finish what the Suffragettes started!I wanted to share this post with you today because it … [Read more...]

Today I'm sharing five ways to beat Blue Monday at its own game!Did you even know it was Blue Monday today?
