This is the time of year when people are making resolutions and trying to revolutionise their lives - myself included - but that can be overwhelming and easily ditched once January really kicks in. One habit that could be useful is to use Finch, a self-care app that has an adorable and gamified approach to keeping you on track. At heart, the app is a wellness manager, trying to help …

We're a week into October already, so I'm a bit late to share this, but I recently stumbled on the Optimistic October calendar produced by Action for Happiness, and I love it. It's just a simple idea each day to try and feel a bit happier and why not? It's been a while since I did a 30 day challenge but this one seems a worthy contender. A couple of …

Lydia West seems to have a knack for picking incredible TV shows to appear in - Years and Years was terrifying, brutal and brilliant. It's a Sin broke me so badly I still struggle to think about it.

You are tasked with logging three good things for each day, with the aim of stringing together streaks of days and generally making your world a little bit of a happier place. The things don’t have to be life-changing, and they don’t have to be complex. You’re only given 100 characters …

Isn't it weird how everything can change around in one day? Not even a day, just an hour. Mine has been doing that so much recently, you'd think I'd be used to it, but I'm still not.
