There’s something about walking that has quietly h There’s something about walking that has quietly held me together this past year.

When life threw its challenges my way, my anxiety went into overdrive. I lost clarity, my head was foggy, and the overwhelm shut me down. But walking, one step in front of the other, slowly moved me in the right direction.

We all know walking is good for the body, but it’s also one of the most powerful tools for the mind. Moving helps process stuck emotions, those steady steps soothe racing thoughts, and the changing scenery opens up fresh ways of thinking. Being in nature grounds you. And the best part is, it’s free.

Whenever I’m preparing a new vision for my year or any creative project, I always start with a long solo walk. I take my journal, let the thoughts tumble out, and begin to find a clarity and direction again. Next step is to use my creativity to create a powerful vision board full of images that resonate with how I want to feel and who I want to be. Less of a to do list, more of an emotional reset. This works for me as it brings in the light, and more importantly keeps me inspired and motivated.

If you’re ready to gently clear the fog and get clear on what you want more of, my ‘Life in Colour Vision Board Masterclass’ is now on sale. I’m hosting on the 21st January, 7pm GMT (with a recorded replay available). Comment VB26 below and I’ll send you all the details. 

Can’t wait to see what we can create together this year!
If you want to create a reality, you first need a If you want to create a reality, you first need a vision of what that reality feels and looks like. And a vision board is a tool that’s backed by real science and powerful psychology.

Our brains process images up to 60,000 times faster than words, which means they land instantly. It’s called the ‘picture superiority effect’. Pictures are remembered more easily because they speak directly to emotion and imagination. They help us feel something deeper, which is why images move us in a way that words or lists never can.

When you fill your board with images of your hopes and dreams, your brain starts getting to work:

💡 You activate the same neural pathways that light up when you’re actually living that experience, so your brain begins to believe it’s possible.
💡 Your Reticular Activating System (RAS) filters the world around you, spotting anything that helps bring that vision to life.
💡 And you connect emotionally with your goals, which keeps you inspired long after the January motivation fades.

Every image you choose is a tiny declaration of intent. A signal to your brain about what matters and where you want to go next. So vision boards are literally neuroscience in action.

Join me for my Vision Board Masterclass Webinar on 21st January at 7pm GMT, and I’ll show you how I create a board that doesn’t just look beautiful, but genuinely helps shape the year ahead.

Marrakech. Go for the interiors. Come home with a Marrakech. Go for the interiors. Come home with a whole new wardrobe.

Marrakech’s design scene is having a serious moment and alongside the riot of interiors, the fashion just keeps getting better. So much of it draws on Morocco’s extraordinary textile and artisanal heritage, then gives it a contemporary twist that feels fresh and joyfully colourful.

My first stop is always the @elfennmarrakech boutique. Creative director @yannrehaan has an impeccable eye and that rare talent for mixing bold colour, riotous pattern and beautiful textures in a way that feels effortless but considered. It is all with the celebration of the handmade, bohemian and yet quietly glamorous. Everything I love about this city in one beautifully curated space.

I like to visit in the cooler winter months. Fewer crowds, softer light and the perfect temperatures for mooching through souks and markets without wilting by lunchtime.

Style here is all about layering and not taking it all too seriously. Think Adidas track pants under a pretty cotton dress or a pair of sandals picked up from the souk with a flowing silk gown for the evening. Anything goes, as long as it makes you feel relaxed and a little fabulous.

I love Marrakech for this special bohemian air, not to mention the colour, and always leave slightly more flamboyant than when I arrived. Honestly, how could you not.

This weekend I’m heading out to @elfennmarrakech to host our Interior Design Retreat, but just know that the dressing up is all part of the experience!

Happy New Year! Let’s do 2026 in full colour! Mar Happy New Year! Let’s do 2026 in full colour!

Marrakech interior design retreat at @elfennmarrakech next week, with more inspiring retreats and creative workshops coming soon.

My new Spring Summer @dunelmuk homewares collection has just gone live, with more launches ahead.

My Vision Board live webinar is on the 21 January. Join me to discover how i find Clarity, Creativity and Motivation that carries  me through the year with momentum.

You’ll also find me on Substack, ‘A Life in Colour’, and I’m exploring creating a Facebook group as a hang out for colour lovers. What do you think?

If you’re ready to design your life and home with confidence, joy and creativity, you’re in the right place.  Tell me what you’re excited about this year?!

You can find links to everything i’ve talked about above up in my bio 👆
How I transformed my health and fitness with the h How I transformed my health and fitness with the help of the powerhouse that is @teamyo_weight_training . In this Live I ask Yo everything you need to know about losing weight, gaining muscle and developing a healthy mindset around your body and health goals at midlife. Yo specialises training women over 40 and I’ve found her programs to be truly transformational. I’ve never felt better,
and I’m so blessed to have found the support of Yo and her community of women, all dedicated to living their best lives. ❤️🙌🌱 For more information head on over to the link in @teamyo_weight_training  bio
With the Christmas decorations down, the house sud With the Christmas decorations down, the house suddenly feels lighter, fresher and calmer. You can feel the sense of space again, and there’s that lovely sense of order returning.

I always find it mirrors how I feel inside too. A bit clearer and ready to reset. Wanting to bring back new colour and creativity, but with a calmer head and a clearer sense of direction.

Just like decorating a room, designing your life starts with clarity. What feels good? What needs more energy and focus? What can you let go of?

That’s exactly what we explore in my Life In Colour Vision Board Masterclass on 21 January. It’s a creative, confidence-boosting session that helps you plan your year the way you’d design your dream home: with purpose, joy and plenty of creativity.

If you’re ready to live boldly, confidently and without compromise, you’ll find all the details at the link in my bio or comment VB26 and I’ll DM you details
Before I start manifesting wildly fabulous things, Before I start manifesting wildly fabulous things, I start with something far less glamorous.

Gratitude.

This year has been… a lot. And yes, I could make a very convincing list of what didn’t work, what went wrong and what felt frankly unfair. But I’m a big believer in manifesting, and I’ve learned the magic doesn’t start with asking the universe for more stuff, or to fix what’s not working.

It starts with noticing what already showed up.

The friends who carried me.
The home that held me.
The ‘pure grit’ and ‘patience of a saint’ package I didn’t order, but apparently received anyway.

This time of year we all start thinking about what we want more of. New energy, new adventures, new possibilities. But before charging ahead with vision boards and big plans, I always pause to say thank you for what I already have.

Not in a smug, everything’s perfect way. More in a “bloody hell, I’ve come a long way” sort of way.

And from there, the next chapter tends to land a little more gracefully ✨

Aer you ready for 2026? i’m getting there!

If you’d like to know how I manifest my best life, comment VB26 and I’ll send you details of my Vision board master class that I’m hosting at the end of the month. Until then, what can you feel grateful for in this moment?
This might be a hot take, but copying other people This might be a hot take, but copying other people’s style is the fastest way to lose your own.

Easy to do though right. Have you fallen into this trap? Saved Pinterest boards, scrolled endlessly for inspiration when all you really needed was the confidence to design for yourself. Your home is the perfect opportunity to explore your own sense of style, unleash your creativity and lean in on personal taste. Because when you get that right, you feel unshakeable and your home becomes your haven. 

I’m so passionate about this process that I set up a whole online design school to help you do just that. Guiding you to design a home you love gives you the confidence to pick the perfect colours for you, curate the objects you’ve collected, and bring it all togther in a way that reflect the beautiful uniqueness of you!

Right now you can grab my Ultimate Interiors Bundle; three brilliant online courses designed to guide you through every step of creating a home that feels authentically you, by following a process that will help you make confident, creative decisions that feel right for you at every stage.

Buy the course bundle today, and save a massive 60%, and then start when you’re ready, as access is for life.

Your dream home doesn’t start with copying. It starts with you. Comment ULTIMATE and I’ll send you the link.
