Inspired Memories – Mick Image by Love, Katie & Sarah.

As the cool weather moves in, there’s a crispness in the air that makes me want to rug up in front of a log fire with a nice glass of red. But who really needs an excuse!? The change in seasons also brings with it the air of change, and doesn’t the adage go that change is as good as a holiday (unless you’re heading on your honeymoon – then a holiday wins hands down!).  So maybe it’s that time of year to check where you’re at and make any changes to your routine that could boost your happiness moving into Winter. Then you can face the cold head on – and enjoy the warmth that comes from being content!

To boost your happiness today, we’ve got a lovely Friday Roundup just for you! Full of prettiness, events and offers, it’ll kick start your morning. Enjoy!
