Let's talk about our furry friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is no doubt that dogs bring so many amazing benefits into our lives. Aside from the obvious joys, it is scientifically proven that dogs provide amazing health benefits - from changing your mood dramatically to providing you with a companion for life!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meet Lenny my 2.5 year-old long-haired Jack Russell, I can assure you there is never a dull moment with this guy!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As humans we can spend hours looking for the right products that are natural and eco-friendly, so why shouldn't we do the same for our furry friends. I was thrilled when I discovered Henrietta beautiful gift boxes filled with dog shampoo (irritation-free!), healthy and sustainable dog treats and even quirky candles for humans which are safe for pets.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Excited by these bundles it was only fitting to Meet the Creator: Cider & Basil! Head over to our bio and learn about how they evolved and how this lovely business idea lead her to meeting her now partner.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"Never give from the depths of your well but from

"Never give from the depths of your well but from your overflow " - Rumi⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In today’s fast-paced and instant gratification world, it seems as though the need to say "no" is absent in most people.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No...⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two letters, making a simple yet powerful word - that many of us struggle to use because it is often associated with being rude or selfish. Some prefer not to say "no" because they don't want to receive pressure, judgment, guilt or fear of upsetting the individual. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In reality, saying “no” actually means you know your value and respect yourself enough to stand up for your mental health or beliefs. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's okay to say "no" and the key to learning this is to balance kindness and courteousness without sacrificing your own sense of self-worth.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is just a friendly reminder that it is okay to say no to after-work drinks, no to that party you are not interested in, no to people you don't like, no to things that make you uncomfortable and not a better version of yourself. This isn't to say you shouldn't push yourself but to ensure you make a decision that you are happy with. Life moves on and your world will not crumple by saying "no".⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what is something you have said 'yes' to lately that you wish you had said 'no' to?⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Coffee is not just a delicious hot drink - coffee

Coffee is not just a delicious hot drink - coffee is a global phenomenon which differs in each country and to think multiple people have tried to ban coffee! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
First back in 1511, leaders in Mecca believed it stimulated radical thinking and outlawed the drink. Then in the 16th-century, by Italian clergymen believing it to be "satanic" - thankfully for us, it got overturned.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For those coffee drinkers: in the world without coffee what would you find your replacement would be? ⁣
