Why Stopping Matters
THIS is why the internet rules.
THIS is why I love social media and Twitter (found through a random retweet).
THIS is also why we need to refocus, unplug and understand what really is important.
Decluttering My Life In 100 Hours
Over the past few months I’ve been getting more and more into the ideas and philosophy behind minimalism. Blogs such as Far Beyond The Stars, Exile Lifestyle and Minimal (to name but a few) have spurred me into action with my very own Decluttering My Life In 100 Hours project.
“100 hours devoted to decluttering my life in pursuit of a minimalistic lifestyle. Simple as.”
Join me for the journey…

Batman vs Superman
My butty thinks Batman is better than Superman—I think they’re wrong…
Even though Batman is well cool, got the better gadgets (because he hasn’t got any real powers), the funkier costume, the more charismatic villians to defeat… however, after all said and done he’s just a man in a bat costume.
Maybe that makes him all the more incredible although I’m not convinced.
Superman by his very nature is super. Has an array of special powers, is the man of steel, from another planet (literally) and can fly (not just glide).
I know, I should get out more—what do you think?
