You know when you have all your pretty notebooks you don’t want to use because you just want up admire them and keep them fresh…
So you get yourself a boring notebook and it just doesn’t scream use me so just gets pushed to one side.
I thought why not use that lonely book and make it look simple but pretty at the same time so here is what I decided to go with.
A piece of pink card, some double sided adhesive tape, some sticker paper, a quote and there you have it. A couple of hearts drawn on for good measure.
You don’t have to be good at crafts, just use your imagination a bit.
Go as crazy as you like…
If you decide to do it and share it on Instagram tag me @holzieloves or use #HLDIY
Happy Thursday 😘

Dating Disaster
Have you ever been on a date and the person you thought you been talking to was just your type.
Whether you met them on a drunken night out and have arranged a first date via text or you have been online dating.
Then you meet up with them and they are nothing like you remember and or look nothing like their picture.
You get there and they are sat there smiling and you walk in like….
When you match with someone online or their profile seems appealing, so messages are exchanged and you start to find out about this person who is very easy on the eye.
Thing is, when you eventually pluck up courage to meet them it really doesn’t match up they don’t look like their photos and they were telling you a load of bull just to get a date…
I myself have been in some situations just like these and you just wanna run back out the door.
Some of you do and don’t look back, most of us would just sit down and feel so awkward for the duration.
I tell you if it was me I’d order my food and when it came out I’d have to do this to him
Dating can be so hard, and not knowing what you are letting yourself get into is kind of scary.
So my advice is… If you are going to date online or you’re just exchanging texts only tell them minimal details, don’t open your heart too much as you know it’ll get hurt. If you do want to meet them… Please take a friend and make sure they are in sight so you can leave swiftly if you feel really uncomfortable.

25. Nobody has their shit together 100% of the time
26. It’s never too late to learn a new skill
27. It’s best to have a handful of great friends than lots of half ass friends

Take a seat I’m going to tell you a story.
So I’m nearly 34 and I’ll tell you something… Even though I am not where I expected to be or dreamt of being… I have been on one hell of a journey…and it has made me the person I am today.
❤️
I have suffered abuse/bullying its made me be more aware.
❤️
I’ve had my heart broken it’s taught me it mends within time.
♥️
I have stumbled into poor health, it makes me stronger and fight harder.
❤️
I had a crush on someone of the same sex. It taught me that gender doesn’t matter.
❤️
I have accomplished things in life which shows me to never give up on something you want.
♥️
I have witnessed divorce with my parents it’s taught me that love doesn’t always last forever.
❤️
I’ve met people from all walks of life and it’s made me realise that everyone has a story and no two stories will ever be the same.

My Blogger Essentials
As a blogger there are always the essentials you need other than WiFi 🙈
So first of all I get my whiteboard out, think about which category I want to touch on, and then I mind map and see what I can come up with.
I have my notepad handy for list-making, researching and just taking note of things I want to go into a blog post. Of course there are doodles when my mind just goes blank but it’s always good to have a notepad handy.
My laptop of course is when I have my Blogger head on and don’t just want to do it from my phone. It’s always good to see what the bigger picture looks like if you get me.
My diary is where I can schedule in my blog posts and also keep an eye on how many I’ve done. I tend to not write too much in advance unless I know I won’t be able to write for a while.
The cute pen just makes me feel productive. Plus how could I walk past a fluffy pen…It gave me 90s vibes.

Nyxie from Nyxies Nook
I’m a mental health blogger who focuses on eating disorder recovery, depression, anxiety and general wellness of the self. The blog was started in March 2019 in a bid to raise awareness for mental illness such as Anorexia Nervosa and Anxiety, two such disorders I suffer from. However, what started out as a hobby, quickly turned into something much, much more!
Nyxie’s Nook has become a place to talk about all mental health issues and the struggles that come along with recovery. I cover a variety of subjects ranging from general wellness right up to more specific recovery-related content. I not only aim to cater to those in recovery but to people in all walks of life.
