In a world where scents and perfume often dominate, there’s a quiet revolution happening with fragrance-free products now. Having been FF-free for over a decade, I’ve been discovering new fragrance-free cleaning products all the time, and now it appears there’s tons more brands on the market.
Nothing beats watching a good film. Throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic- in all three of the lockdowns I can probably speak for most of us when I say I’ve been watching A LOT of films and series.
This third lockdown has been REALLY hard physically and mentally for the entire country. Have you found that too?
We’re all staying in to keep the world safe right now so thank goodness for Netflix and Amazon Prime Video (don’t worry it’s not an affilite link – wish it was I bet they pay well!?! it’s just linking out to help with SEO). It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Always something new to watch.

Films that have been getting me through 2020 and 2021 include some old movies and new ones really, so I’m sharing my list in case you’ve run out of stuff to watch.
Okay, well I might just as well share my all time list of favourite film quotes and my most favourite actors/actresses include, in priority order:
Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Leonardo Di Caprio, Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock.

Want to improve the way you feel quickly? Riding the wave of the Covid-19 situation has been tough on us all so I though I’d put some tips together on what’s worked for me.
Endless scrolling on social media doesn’t help either – I’ve tried that. Unless it’s really funny memes and reels.
Things that have helped during lockdowns include:
