It really was a sorry situation with such results and even though I am not from the US I have family there that are absolutely devastated. For moments like this the one thing that I can always guarantee to cheer myself up is a trip to Columbia Rd followed by breakfast (avo and eggs!) and a day of lounging reading, commenting on blogs and watching movies. I am currently trying to amp up my Hygge game and snuggle most days that I am off too!

However this coming weekend I have 'Self cared' by arranging first the twins to go off to spend time with grandparents and I will have a meal with friends, a whole uninterrupted nights sleep, and read a book with some candles I hope.

Learning a new job, whilst studying for a degree and just keeping up with life in general (oh chores and washing I loathe you) has been exhausting. For Sunday I have a good Roast dinner planned, The Crown on Netflix and the biggest bath filled with Lush products and my favourite candle burning. <br />I really hope you're feeling better now after your self-love day. I hope I will too after Sunday. <br /><br />Love Rachel x<br /><br />www.Rachel-Emily.comRachel Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777924121776230640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743876470050160495.post-18160101699923706432016-11-15T21:28:58.719+00:002016-11-15T21:28:58.719+00:00I took 3 days out to rest and recuperate after the...I took 3 days out to rest and recuperate after the death of my father at the end of October.

We've been unable to take a self care day in a little while due to travel at weekends and I'm really feeling it. This weekend we're visiting friends in Birmingham and I'm determined to carve out some self care time inamongst the visiting! As an introvert that probably means a little potter around a gallery, or watching trashy hotel TV for a bit.

Honestly, I...Last week certainly has not been easy. Honestly, I feared that would be the outcome of the elections from the very beginning, when everyone was just laughing at the ridiculous "wall" speaches. However, the hope kept me going till the last minute, and I was left very very disappointed. My immediate response was anger and hatred, but I also soon realized it's not the way to go, so in return I actually wish him (as much as I dislike him and his team) all the success. Because if he fails, our country fails, and that's the last thing I want. No matter what, I do hope everyone finds strength to heal and move forward. <br /><br />On a brighter note, this week I FINALLY went back to fitness. I vowed to engage in some sort of physical activity 5 times a week. It will mainly be a combination of weightlifting, yoga and running, depending on my mood and strength level that day. xoxo, nano | www.travelwithnanob.comNano @ #TravelWithNanoBhttp://www.travelwithnanob.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743876470050160495.post-76186418434081956162016-11-14T23:25:24.681+00:002016-11-14T23:25:24.681+00:00Something very simple but...I've been going to...Something very simple but...I've been going to bed an hour earlier each day and sitting in bed reading.

I've been wearing my warmest coats and sweaters, indulging in comfort food (may have inhaled a large bowl of pierogies), and some restorative yoga. It feels weird not to be pushing myself on the yoga mat and rather, just basically laying there, but I feel like it could be nothing but beneficial for the body. I looove candles + this one looks just lovely for the upcoming season. That EatFirst company sounds good - makes me wish I lived in a bigger city with more options like this!Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11446312405129969191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743876470050160495.post-43764791118585206692016-11-14T16:27:11.662+00:002016-11-14T16:27:11.662+00:00I'm amazed at everyone's awesome self-care...I'm amazed at everyone's awesome self-care skills!
