Sue Paxman – the inspiration behind the life-changing Paxman scalp cooler

Revamping my morning routine

Author: Beth Brown In preparation for this blog post I (shock horror) actually did some research before blurting my nonsensical ramblings over the keyboard. According to an article featured in Forbes, when you start your morning with intention, you can bring your morning ‘wins’ into the rest of the day. I guess it does make sense. By setting small, manageable goals that I can complete each morning, I feel like I’m taking responsibility for my own positivity. The day could throw whatever it wis

Skin care tips

Leaves are crunching under our feet, the days have shortened and pumpkin-picking posts are popping up all over social media feeds, autumn is firmly here. And whilst you might be thrilled to be donning your knitwear or planning your Halloween costume, your skin might be feeling less pleased about the changing of the seasons. The shift to cooler climates with the contrast of increased central heating can leave the skin feeling dry, dehydrated and with winter looming, the worst is yet to come. Tod

Picking up on the little signs

Author: Beth Brown. In the midst of a challenging week, I was lacking both inspiration and motivation and found myself in some sort of stress-induced writer’s malaise. That is until I saw a number 22 bus and I knew that everything would be alright. I’m going to have to explain the context of why a bus awarded me so much comfort without being the one I was waiting for. I know that you’re probably thinking: “yeah, ok Beth. Like that’s completely normal…” The truth is, I wholehearted believe in

Giving it up: A year without alcohol

This title is probably a little too optimistic (so far it’s been months), but I’m trying to manifest myself some willpower and you know what they say: go big or go home. To be honest, it’s not willpower to stay sober that I struggle with, it’s the willpower to go against the ‘norm’ that’s the problem. Sometimes having a drink seems like the easier option when it comes to the disbelieving laughs and the chorus of ‘oh come on, don’t be boring’s that usually accompany a 22 year old’s admission of

Leeds prison worker launches new business in lockdown

When a prison worker from Armley, who is a qualified personal trainer, was put on furlough, she decided to use her skills to help others stay fit whilst at home in lockdown. Katy Padam, 37, ran a series of free Instagram live workouts each week from the attic of her home which she shares with three generations of her family. She said: “I’d gone from working inside the locked doors of the prison where I loved being a personal development coach to finding myself without a job to go to and having

She was homeless for years, now Laura is climbing career ladder

After being homeless for six years, Laura Fieber is in a career, about to buy a house and get married - thanks to the Sheffield charity Nomad Open Doors. “I was one of the hidden homeless,” said Laura, now 27 and a housing officer with the charity. “I was constantly on the move. Only the kindness of friends who offered me their sofas kept me from sleeping on the streets. I wouldn’t have dared to dream about the life I have now.” Laura, who now lives in Hoyland Common, Barnsley, had an unhappy

Embracing the rain

Author: Beth Brown I woke up this morning, glanced at my rain-soaked window and immediately felt a little down. Yesterday had been full of sunshine and, as many of you will probably be able to relate to, the sun brings the happy factor. But, as the nights grow longer and the rain becomes heavier, I have vowed to romanticise the (insert expletive) out of autumn and winter. You may think that I’m being extremely premature in preparing for Autumn, because yes, I am aware that it is still the only

The six month challenge

Beth Brown, Girl on Pause I went for a walk with my mum today in one of my favourite places. It’s a little lake just outside of York surrounded by pine trees and muddy puddles; the only sound for miles is the occasional flutter of the resident swan’s wings on the water’s surface. As we put the world to right under the intermittent flashes of sunshine, the peaceful morning got me thinking. I hadn’t been there in a while, not since winter and, though the trails were the same, I felt like a very d
