lazy sunday

Oh what a lovely Sunday, oh what a beautiful day.  It was such a nice Sunday!  We went down to the beachy bit at Kasai Rinkai Park and walked around.  There were a lot of people in the actual park bit but not so many on the beach which was nice as I’m not a huge fan of crowded places.  ‘Why do you live in Tokyo then?’  you might ask and the answer is, I don’t know.  Anyway, enjoy the pictures and make sure to visit if you haven’t already.

You can see Disney off in the distance.  The ...

organising my life

hangers

A new year means a need to get organised!  Above are the hangers where the hanging clothes live.

The food cupboards, I sorted all the stuff and made it easy to find.  Must also clean and sort fridge.

nightwear

It felt so good to sort out all our clothes.  I have also gotten rid of some items that I have been desperately clinging onto despite never wearing.  It made me feel sad I had wasted money on them but also good that I was finally able to say goodbye.  I did say goodbye and ...

so much to do

suitcases

This is a short post.  Yesterday, we moved and the shot above is a picture of all our suitcases. Incredible, right?  This is coming from someone who wants/is trying to be a minimalist.  Not going very well, is it?  I am going to try so hard though, I promise.  I intend to sort out as I unpack, but really, I should have done that before.  As I write my posts a day in advance, this is coming to you when all our stuff has already been taken to the new place and I am just about to set off there ...

reducing stress

nature

I like to think I don’t get stressed too easily, but I fear the opposite is true. One of the things that really stresses me out is a full inbox.

emails

I invariably sign up to newsletters that I think will be interesting to me or sometimes I don’t even realise I am signing up to something.  Then my inbox gets flooded.  I hate this, it really stresses me out because I feel like I have lots to do and I don’t know where to start.  I don’t want to just do a mass delete because there might be something ...
