After finishing the Journal With Me series on Instagram Live this April, I wanted to keep the fire we started together burning so I’ve compiled the prompts we used along with some journal books and other tools to help you continue writing. Whether you’re just testing the waters or you and your trusted journal go way back, the resources I collected can help dive deeper into introspection and self-discovery.
A blooming afternoon
I’m always looking for something alternative to do and I love discovering new activities in Cyprus. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, something fresh pops up. This felt like one of those moments. A series of flower workshops in Nicosia teaching different arrangement techniques. Exciting or what? During one of my Facebook scrolls looking for events for work, I came across this different kind of activity. The event’s cover photo caught my eye first. Colourful flowers spread out on a table and five brown-haired women creating bouquets. I love flowers and the idea of a series of workshops teaching different arrangement techniques sounded exciting!
Staycation: a summer state of mind
Ah the staycation. Who would have known that this would be the summer 2020 trend? For those that don’t know what it means, a staycation is when you holiday in your country or close to home. For many of us in Cyprus, that meant long weekends in Protaras, excursions to Paphos or even just being at home, as I found myself doing towards the end of the season and surprisingly it was something I was in dire need of.
