EFD1_9_7_6

As ever, this month as passed in a daze, lots has happened! I’ve also been a bit neglectful of the blog, but sometimes life gets in the way.

Days habit missed: Hardly any

Ease of doing daily: Easy

Equipment required: Wardrobe

Is it something I’ll continue? Yes

I’d love to tell you that over the last 12 months, my mornings have evolved into a zen like space of calm and tranquillity, but we both know that would be a big, fat lie.
