Review Wednesday | Puzzling Issues.

I’ve heard of that! All good things, all good things……

Ok, so today, I’m going to discuss something that has been taking up a lot of my time. Something that has cost me very little in money but has cost me so much in time.

A puzzle.

A puzzle?!?

Yes, a 1000 piece world map puzzle. £1.50, it cost me.

Don’t snigger, or laugh at me, I have no shame in staying up until 2am puzzling away. I find it soothing.

Actually, it’s been proven that doing jigsaws have got many benefits. Including improved concentration, increased creativity and even helps expanding visual skills. Everyone should do puzzles.

A very good friend had told me all of this, so I did some research, and found a great little something on this website that is inspiring me to maybe do some more puzzles in the future.

You get immense and long lasting benefits out of doing puzzles on daily basis. It not only sharpens your memory, improves your brain function, but the clarity of mind and thought helps you clear out the clutter in your mind and the cobwebs accumulating over years. You then begin to see things around you in new light are able to appreciate your life a lot better. You not only start finding solutions to your problems, but also begin to look forward to everyday in your life.

This is how much I’ve done so far:

literally the sea left……so difficult and soul-destroying. But in a nice way! Oh and it is massive!!! You can see it’s taking over the whole of my desk!!!

See you tomorrow! 😀

Beauty Tuesday | Watching the World

Mia, I loved those tunes you posted yesterday! I don’t often branch out and listen to new musical songs so thank you for introducing them into my life. They will both be there to stay!

When it dawned on me yesterday that my day was Beauty Tuesday, I had a little panic about what to write about. Not out of the lack of choice on what to write, but more like I’ve been enjoying so many things in my life recently I didn’t know which to choose.

So I decided to pick one, my new watch. As one who’s day is practically routined down to the minute, it was a pure wonder how I did not already own a personal clock for my very own wrist. One day, I was sat down in the refectory, scrolling my way through Pinterest (how a vast amount of my time is now spent….), and this beautifully ornate watch made an appearance. Brown leather strap, vintage looking, large face, gold hands, and a very detailed artwork of the world as the background.

(I had to use my ipad as a camera….that’s why it’s a little blurry. Sozzles)

As an avid traveller and a lover of all things worldly and mappy, I immediately needed this in my life. I clicked on the link, and found it was from Urban Outfitters! So, naturally, I hot-footed it down to my nearest store and bought it. Not too bad for £26 (and a 10% student discount….)

I didn’t realise that I needed a watch until I bought one, and I’m very happy with this one. You can find out more here.

See you on Thursday!
