A few days ago I followed a shared link on Facebook, to an article someone had written about social media and the impact it has on people wanting to portray perfect lives. If you want to read it, the original article is here. It’s really well written and the woman who wrote it is smart and […]

Something really amazing has happened overnight, guys. Little Grey Box has reached 10,000 subscribers! I had seen the subscriber numbers climbing and knew we were getting close to 10,000 but it wasn’t until I saw it on the home-page this morning that it really sunk in. I felt a bit emotional. As I’m writing this we […]

I think I was about 22 or 23 when I first had the thought that I had missed my life calling. I remember the feeling of that moment pretty well, Matt had asked me a question about what I wanted to do with my life/what I wanted to be. I shook my head, embarrassed because […]

I have a bad habit of over-thinking things. I can lose hours dissecting, assessing and evaluating moments, conversations, ideas and memories. It’s funny, because all my over-thinking rarely solves anything. All the extra noise and clutter I let in my mind doesn’t help me at all. It’s only when I clear all of that out […]

I used to be really wrapped up in having things. Nice things, new things, beautiful things, things that people noticed and recognised, that impressed them and told them I was great. All the things that checked the boxes to indicate success. For the longest time, I was chasing things and the trouble with that is […]

There are few things more frustrating than being in a position you don’t want to be in, knowing you’re unhappy but feeling like you cannot do anything about it. No, I’m not talking about getting a wedgie in a public place and just having to deal with it. I’m talking about more serious situations, guys. I’ve […]

How much time do you spend doing things for other people? Running around for them, going out even when you feel tired, pushing yourself that little bit further because it’s what you feel you should do? I’ve been guilty of doing ALL of those things. Saying yes when I didn’t want to, going out when […]

A few weeks ago I was interviewed by the lovely Lauren from The Multi-Coloured Collar. Lauren asked me questions about Little Grey Box and how moved from where I was in my old career, to where I am now, working my dream job.

When we’re growing up, our parents make nearly all our decisions for us. What to wear, what to eat, where to go, when to sleep, what to read and so on.
