You can spend your entire week checking things off lists, answering emails, showing up to meetings, and still get to Sunday evening with absolutely no idea what you actually accomplished. Busy, yes. Productive? Not even close.

Sometimes what we’re really after is a little lazy girl luxury. Except it isn’t lazy, it’s strategic. It's knowing our own 80/20 and saying no to anything that doesn't align with that. Because beauty and burn out don't go in the same sentence, and effort without return is just a bad investment.

We get you, life is busyyyy. From work, the gym, eating clean, getting great sleep, maintaining some sort of relationships and social life, staying on top of life tasks and enjoying some hobbies, it's a hectic list from start to finish.

Are we still in January? Why yes we are, and although this feels like the longest month of the year with approximately 127 days in it, we actually kinda like it.

It turns out that our parents were right when they rolled out the familiar childhood line, “money doesn’t grow on trees you know.” and unless you managed to find yourself a very generous sugar daddy, most of us eventually come to the same unfortunate conclusion

We have expensive taste, and we're betting that you do too otherwise you wouldn't be here. And whilst we are very much of the view of invest in our homes and buy quality over quantity, sometimes we need to take a more chill approach to our budget.

We love a Shakshuka (who doesn’t) and this herby green shakshuka is built on leeks, greens, jammy eggs and a generous handful of herbs. It's a simple pan cooked dish that swaps out the heavier tomato based flavours for one that is jam packed of plants and vitamins.

Most New Year's resolutions feel a bit negative with a lot of "I'm going to cut out sugar, alcohol, and junk food" and "I'm going to spend less" and don't forget the "I'm going to stop wasting my gym membership and get in shape".

We're sure by this point in the year, everything is feeling a little... frazzled. Sure it's been magical but now you'd like to stop cooking, entertaining, tidying and quite possibly talking for the foreseeable future.
