How I did it: I finally got the chance to do this last month, in one of the best places imaginable, with the best company imaginable! That is, in the magical Norwegian forest with my love. The preparation didn't take long; we got together some clothes, the tent, a sleeping bag, sleeping mats, a few bottles of water, vacuum packed food, a gas stove, pot for boiling water and most importantly (for us, at least) chocolate! We were only going for one … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I didn't think my keyboard was that dirty, it just looked like the fronts of the keys were a little grey. To clean it, I usually just tip it upside down now and then to let the crumbs and dust fall out, and give it a little wipe over with a cloth.....a few days ago, however, I spilt some yogurt on it, so I took off the few keys it landed on to clean it up. I noticed it was quite dirty underneath, so ended up taking all the keys off....and… Read how I did it…
How I did it: My aim was to travel more, and seeing as I'm fitting in as much travel as the working year allows me, I think I've achieved this!I looked for the cheapest airline to travel with, and booked flight tickets in advance, as the price seems to rise in time.

Rather, I should say stop over plucking. I’ve been letting them grow and only now and then taking away some of the more isolated hairs, to neaten it all up. I’m much happier with how they look now, and suppose I can say this goal has been completed….although it’ll be ongoing.
I don’t want to jinx myself, because it seems whenever I say things seem to be improving, they tend to go back the other way. But I feel quite confident with my progression in this goal. For a couple of months now, I can’t think of a moment where I’ve gotten overly angry and annoyed.
I’ve been training my head to think positively and to realise how silly it is to get irritated by small things. There are much bigger things to worry about.

When I first smelt this tea, I was overcome with the incredibly strong smoky scent. I thought this would make the tea unbearable to drink, but surprisingly, the taste was quite mild. A tea I would like to drink on camping trips and out in the nature.
