Five great hobbies to try this year

26th March 2021 Be first to comment

Pin It

One of the best things to come out of the pandemic and all of the lockdowns are the people saying that they will be starting a new hobby. Finding something new to be passionate about outside of family and friends, work and exercise is exciting. It’s a good way to blow off some steam and those who want to do something for themselves will find their passion in their hobby.

Right now, it’s possible that you’re still stuck at home and trying to find things to do, and whether you fall in love with online slots or you find an online needlepoint class, you have to figure out a way to stay busy. There’s no need to feel stuck where you are when there are a myriad of things to do out there in the world. Nothing needs to be hard, either, as any hobby you are talking about trying is going to be nailed by you with the right attention to detail. The good news is that you don’t have to be bored anymore; we’ve got five new hobby ideas for you to road test!

  • Sewing. We talked about needlepoint, but really you should think about taking a sewing class or two. Sewing is a skill everyone needs to have and you should try to find an online class that will teach you everything that you need to know. Whether you sew by hand or by machine, you’ll find something out there to help you to learn
  • Yoga. Some days, the pressure of the world just becomes a little much and you really have to learn how to relax your mind. You don’t have to be some kind of guru genius to do that, but it would help you to be able to relax and breathe properly. Yoga brings stretching and meditation together and enables you to take a moment to just pause and breathe. You don’t even need any equipment; just a mat, a video and you
  • Game. Buying yourself the latest and greatest gaming consoles may not have occured to you but gaming is a hobby everyone should enjoy at least once. Whether you love online casinos, XBox or PS5, you can get online and enjoy games that suit you. Gaming doesn’t have to take over your life either, no matter what people think! It can give you a chance to just enjoy yourself and take a moment to relax in another world
  • Play. Have you ever learned how to play an instrument before? If not, then now is the time to do it! you can choose any instrument you like and do Zoom lessons with others online to figure out how to play properly. You won’t be a pro any time soon, but you will be able to learn how to play and just enjoy the learning for a while
  • Cook. You can cook whatever you want if you give yourself the time for it. Patience is a virtue when it comes to learning to cook, though, and whether you want to lay on a huge dinner party when you’re out of lockdown or you want to figure out how to make a gnocchi from scratch, you should learn how to cook while you have the time at home to do it.

Thank you for reading. I hope you are feeling inspired to start a new hobby!

Stay wonderful!

One of my favourite feel good outfits from March 🥰 It was chilly but sunny so I took the opportunity to pop on a lovely @sheinofficial polka dot dress and @nastygal glitter jumper with my all time fave cardigan also from Nasty Gal! 

I've definitely noticed the power of colour recently and the positive impact clothing has on us when we use them right. 

When I say 'use them right' I mean:

* Wearing clothes that make us feel good

* Using clothing to set the mood for the day for example; A work day, a night out, date night or a cosy day in

* Using colours to help our minds - There is something psychological about colour which I find fascinating!

* Wearing clothes that we don't feel insecure in. Creating a wardrobe where everything fits how we like and we don't have any anxiety about 'losing weight to fit into it'

Fashion is like makeup. It gives us the freedom to express ourselves and embrace our bodies and personalities! 

Some of my fave fashionistas:

@meganellaby 
@inthefrow 
@molliemunroquirk 
@bykatieeve 
@plussizeabi 
@imlaurengreen 
@poppyadams 
@chloeincurve_ 

So many more but I'll save them for another day 🌻

Just a friendly reminder that we all have messy ha Just a friendly reminder that we all have messy hair and slow mornings most days!

Let your natural hair flow, your natural skin shine and your mind go through it's emotions without self judgement.

Take the day as slow or fast as you need. 

Take a non uniform day and get cosy with your feet up on the sofa

Take a day without makeup if you like

Binge on your fave TV shows or dive into a good book for one chapter (or two or three or four...or five)

You're human. Not everything has to be perfect and straight. Do what you gotta do.

Happiness, Lifestyle and all things wonderful.
I always say that the most important thing in life is happiness, therefore that is what I'd like to share.
I'm an honest, kind and happy person who loves sharing my experiences and real stories to help others like me realise they are not alone in this huge world.
I'm a huge supporter of mental health and body positivity and believe we can change the way society is about these topics together.
Just a small girl in a big world trying to be happy!

This is a very difficult experience for me. I have a qualification in professional music and was in a band gigging and singing professionally. It was and is my life but when my mental health went down hill, so did my confidence in myself. I stopped singing publicly and lost faith in rekindling my love for it but now here I am. 

I'm a little rusty and out of practise but here it is. My first singing video.
