What is better w/ flavour?
Realistically, everything; food tastes better and life feels better. Could you imagine pasta without salt and life without laughter? It would be unbearable.
Put simply, this blog’s sole focus isn’t on grandiose recipes (although several will be included, don’t worry!). The underlying message behind the name is that our day-to-day routines become much more enjoyable once we supply them with passion.Â
From my own experience, a fulfilling life gives way to happiness, yet happiness is derived from passion. So, for myself, the progression is simple - strive to reach happiness by feeding your passions and a sense of fulfillment will follow. For all the skeptics out there, you can direct them to this article by Psychology Today that explores this concept further.Â
As a health & wellness resource, this page is all about ‘spicing up your life’. It is intended as your personal guide in discovering the life that makes you feel the happiest, each and every day. So, on the days where coffee just isn’t enough, Bw/F aims to inspire you to get the most out of your day with tips on:
Healthy eating (on a budget - I am a student after all)
Looking for the good in those around you
Staying organized & motivated
With that being said, welcome to Bw/F!
BTSÂ - not the band, sorry
A quick look behind the scenes of this blog would only show myself, sitting at my desk following a long day of classes, assignments, working out, cooking, cleaning, and trying to have a social life (‘trying’ being the key word).Â
My interest in creating Bw/F came after I reached my lowest point during my first year of university. Not to bore you with the details, but I realized it was simply because I wasn’t caring for myself or filling my day with enough of what makes me happy.Â
I began looking to established h&w gurus for inspiration; my go-to was always Well + Good, which you can check out here!Â
If these websites tend to overwhelm you, you aren’t alone. I was pretty intimidated by their wealth of knowledge and golden standards that felt unachievable.Â
To save you stumbling in the beginning like I did, Bw/F curates a more approachable collection of lessons and helpful tips I’ve amassed since and am continuing to learn every day. Why not join me?Â
Blogs and social media invariably go hand-in-hand. However, over recent years, young women in particular have become vulnerable to unrealistic standards propagated by influencers. I know full well the effect this can have, since it played a significant hand in my ‘low point’.Â
One of my hopes for this page is to leverage social media in spreading positivity over insecurity. Perhaps my favourite example of this is the @any.body_co initiative to encourage young women’s confidence.Â
Check out Gymshark’s ‘Train for Life’ series with Jazmine Garcia for your first dose of inspiration! This girl knows how to live her best life, and she’s thriving because of it.Â
