This is a strange time that we are in… on the one hand we miss our daily routines, meeting our friends and family, dressing up and going out! And on the other, it’s brought about some much needed time for ourselves… a moment for rest and quiet contemplation. It’s so easy to forget to pause and slow things down in our busy lives that seem to go by in an instance!

It’s in times like this that we find a new sense of gratitude for the things in our lives that we might’ve taken for granted. Eating out, going to events or spending time with loved ones – whatever it might be. Take this time as an opportunity to express gratitude and thanks for all the people and things in your life that bring you joy. Things that light a smile upon your face! I recently receive a beautiful gift, when a Givenchy Antigona Soft bag arrived at my door. A small gesture that brought happiness during this time. Whether it be big or small, simple things can change a mood.

Staying at home has encouraged us to press a reset button, to question what we find of value, and to contemplate what we want to do moving forward. It’s a precious time that we might not have again, so why not make the most of it!
