While minimalism has been doing the decor trends for a while, maximalism has been hot on its heels for the last few years and, with Ikea stating that 2022 is the year for a trend that they’ve termed ‘cluttercore’, the tides are finally turning against the less-is-more decor mindset.
This is great news for those of us who could never quite strip our belongings back to a level Marie Kondo would be proud of, but it does pose some technical issues of its own. After all, as much as it might make our lives easier, maximalism doesn’t mean handing our homes over to an avalanche of belongings. Instead, it means a gentle approach to redecorating your home in the following ways.

Knowing your budget is the first place to start when it comes to trying to save any money. You need to know how much money you *can* save first. Simply jot down all your incomings and then take away all of your definite bills and you’ve got your disposable income that you can save, spend and invest.

Autumn doesn’t officially arrive for a couple of days but I’m definitely feeling the crunchy leaves and pumpkin spice latte vibes coming. I always love an autumnal walk paired with Sunday pub lunches including cosy pints and sticky toffee pudding and cuddling up in knitwear. I’ve got a few ideas for lovely autumnal dates now that we’re able to get out and about, travelling the UK at least – let me know what you think in the comments.

Gift buying can often be tricky. Whether you are buying for a significant other, family member or friend, it can be tricky to find a present that they not only love but is also meaningful.
Finding and giving a gift should be an enjoyable process. Giving someone a gift is an opportunity to surprise someone with something that hopefully they will keep for a lifetime.

The brand new ‘crazy golf for adults’ venue in George Street, Hockley is 100% LadBible fodder, a prime stag event venue and perfect for student Instagram accounts. Glory Holes is very try hard and badly done. The staff are all out there to ‘shock’, including the security staff playing down their Covid rules and the manager wearing his mask around his chin whilst saying ‘grab a ball from my sack’. I’m eye-rolling even writing this.

One thing’s for certain, we’ve all had to switch and jiggle the way we do special events and celebrations over the past year. Last Mother’s Day was just before major lockdown 1 and we managed to get out for a nice big walk (before even that became illegal) with L’s mum. My mum, on the other hand lives 160 miles away and I’ve only seen her once in the past year, which massively sucks so it’s been all about the postman delivering her each and every treat, card and birthday surprise.

Keeping your home organised and tidy can be a super tedious task. However, innovative storage solutions can significantly improve the look of any clutter and then the feel of your home. I know, when my home is tidier I definitely feel calmer. The key is to adapt your storage solutions around your lifestyle and make it practical for you. There’s no point having tonnes of storage crates if your most used things are kept at the bottom, right?

(If you want to!)
It is a fact that a lot of us ended up putting our self-improvement goals on hold during 2020, as the Coronavirus pandemic and a string of lockdowns meant that we were mostly focused on getting by, instead of taking big steps forward. However, with the past year firmly in our rear-view mirrors, it’s time to get back in the driving seat and think about how you can reach those goals in 2021. Here are a few simple steps to help you get started – even if the year does look pretty bleak at the moment.

AD – Collaboration with TestCard
The gift of time. Who wouldn’t like a few more hours in the day? We all could use that. Sometimes when we’re so busy, our health, wellbeing and self care can slip to the side just because of the effort that it can sometimes take to get small health issues sorted. You don’t want to bother anyone with your suspected ailment, the doctors are understandably very busy so you just avoid it until it goes away, right? So, what if you could check out this at home before you start to sit on hold and wait for an appointment?
