Amazing Series I am watching this month

December 27, 2021 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , 2 Comments

It took me a minute to decide on the title for this blog post. I initially thought of using “What I am watching on TV this month” but I am not really watching the TV. I do Amazon Prime, Netflix, and YouTube, and I have recently started watching a very interesting series on an App, but regular TV is not something I watch.

Moving on, here are some cool series I am watching this month:

The Chosen

I am currently watching The Chosen series on The Chosen App. It is an amazing series all about the life of Jesus Christ and his teachings. The series is completely free to watch once you download the App.

You can also watch the series on YouTube if you don’t mind the ads. There are two seasons; we are still watching the first season and I am already so into it.

The Wheel of Time

This is another amazing series I just finished watching some days ago. It is based on the book series by Robert Jordan and it is all about five young men and women with magical powers that can defeat a ‘dark one’ and save the world.

If you are into fantasy, adventure, drama, and action, you would love The Wheel of Time. The full first season is available to watch on Amazon Prime.

The Handmaid’s Tale

This is another Amazon Prime series I have recently finished. We binged watch all four seasons within a few weeks because they were that good.

The Handmaid’s Tale is all about June, a fertile woman in Gilead, living (against her will) with a commander and his wife as a concubine, in a country suffering from infertility due to sexually transmitted diseases and environmental pollution. It is definitely worth watching if you are into stories like this.

Blogging Tip: Take time off

August 25, 2021 By in Blogging Tips Tags: , , , , 3 Comments

Hey below bloggers! I have not written a blogging tip post in a bit. A lot of juggling has been going on behind the scenes for me, but I am working on a new blogging routine and it looks like I am settling into a new way of running Fashion and Style Police. So do expect regular blog posts from now on. The plan is to go back to blogging more often and so far my new blogging schedule is working really well.

This brings me to the theme of today’s post. I have been blogging for almost 9 years now, and it has been a learning journey all the way. I have gone from blogging a few times a week, to blogging everyday and back again. The learning experience is forever ongoing. Blogging is not something to learn and you stop learning. The big wide web keeps changing and so does your blog, which means forever twerking, learning and relearning things to keep your blog active.

Blogging Tip: Take time off

One thing I have had to learn this past year is that it is ok to take time off. Like most things in life, taking time off is important to keep your ideas fresh and to stay healthy mentally and physically. Being self employed and relying heavily on my blog income made me struggle with taking time off. I must confess, I used to panic whenever I took a couple of days off, but I am pleased to say that is no longer the case.

Since the start of the pandemic, I take as many days off as required and I feel no panic or guilt. The irony of it all is that my views have increased massively even though I now blog less. The panic and fear were just the ego part of me trying to control everything which usually leads to less productivity.

Days off are important for any job especially when you are self employed and running your own business. You are your blog and you cannot afford to break down, and this is why taking time off is important.

The only blogging tip I have for you is to take a break every now and again, so you can come back ready buzzing with fresh ideas that create amazing blog posts. Also, remember to feel no guilt or fear when you do this. Your blog will be fine, your views will rise and your blog readers will understand. You are more than your blog. Stay safe.

Charity of the Month: Manchester Women’s Aid

March 12, 2021 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , Leave a comment

The charity of the month is Manchester Women’s Aid. This charity is focused on helping domestic abuse survivors by providing safe and confidential temporary accommodation, play services, advice and support, dedicated case workers and support groups. It was created in 2014 and it is currently the largest specialist provider of domestic abuse services in Manchester. I have done a lot of research into their work and what they are doing to help women and children fleeing domestic violence situations. It is lovely to see great charities like Manchester Women’s Aid working tirelessly to save vulnerable women in the city.

Manchester Women’s Aid Mission
  • To promote the equality of women
  • To protect women and their dependants through promoting the mental and physical health of such beneficiaries; advancing the education of such beneficiaries; relieving need, hardship and distress among such beneficiaries and advancing the education of the general public in relation to issues of women’s equality and domestic abuse.
Manchester Women’s Aid Refuge (Emerge)

The charity provides temporary emergency housing for domestic violence victims. It currently has five refuges across Manchester catering for up to 30 families in crisis. Many of the refuges offer full disabled access. The refuges are a mixture of self-contained units and communal homes. The charity also helps facilitate the move to a more permanent accommodation.

Manchester Women’s Aid also provides interpreters for women who do not speak English and they also assign a support worker to every woman who walks into their refuges.

I think this charity is amazing and I am glad to know these services are available to those who desperately need it. If you or someone you know is experiencing any form of domestic violence, please speak out and get help. There are many support services like Manchester Women’s Aid set up to help you get out of such toxic environments.

Donate

You can click here to donate to Manchester Women’s Aid. You can give as little or as much as you like – £10 could provide a welcome pack for a woman or family arriving at one of our refuges, with essential toiletries and other basics.
