2020 Booklist

Hi angels..

I hope you're safe and well! I am struggling but ticking along with the gorgeous sunshine and support of those around me. (As well as Easter choccies to get me through!)

I have this week off work so I'm going to do lots more self-care, have fun family time and take a breather for my mental health.

Let me know how you're doing too, I'd love to know what you're up to and how you're spending your time.

I have so many books that I keep buying and neglecting - it's my aim this year to get through a small handful of them and enjoy reading and learning.

I have four books on my list and they are as follows:

A Little Bit of Auras

By Cassandra Eason

This introductory book was given as a gift at Christmas, (thanks Santa!). It was super thoughtful as auras interest me a lot and I can't wait to learn more. I know we all have auras which reflect our feelings. I want to learn more about using auras to spread more positivity and diminish negative energies. Especially during this time of uncertainty and lack of control. I will be making notes from this book for my new home to ensure the space is cleansed and peaceful.

I will so a post once I have read this book to let you know what I have learnt and how I will bring my learnings into daily life.

The House Witch.

By Arinn Murphy-Hiscock

I took a while to read this book I'm not going to lie. It was high useful for me in anticipation of moving into a new home and making sure the energy was right for me when I arrived. This book is to inspire and prepare me for the creation of my partners and I's spiritual space. For love and tranquility in the home.

It's super interesting to learn the history of culture and spirituality around the world. There was so much to  learn and take on within the book that I wrote notes and underlined things I thought would be super useful to me.

I will 100% be going over the notes I made once our house completion date is secured.

The Invisible Man

By H G Wells

I bought this book when the film came out a couple of months ago in the cinema.When film adaptations come out, I like the idea of reading the book before watching a film due to the initial creativity and descriptions. Like Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train, which are two of my favourite books that turned into adaptations. Both were equally amazing books that had me hooked! The films didn't disappoint either.
Babbling over... I went to see The Invisible Man waaaay back before iso. I saw the film before getting a chance to read the book. The film had some fab parts but for me it wasn't the best as I expected a different storyline.
I'm super interested to read the book, it seems it has a different storyline which I am excited to get into. H G Wells is highly influential in the book world, so I am excited to get into his novel.
I will keep you guys in the loop after I read this book, I am intrigued to see what I think in comparison with the film.
(Note: This review of the book may take a hot second as I am currently reading Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine - this was on my 2019 booklist, which obviously went really well lol)

Everything is Figure-outable.

By Marie Forleo
This was another gift to me, which was again super kind. This book is perfect for those wanting to make a positive change. No matter what it is that you want to change, sometimes that can be super hard. Marie helps us to make the changes without being too hard on ourselves and using our own belief.
This is perfect for me! I am forever making dreams that can come true with no clue how to begin. I'll share what I learn with you guys so we can all achieve and believe.

Let me know what you thought of these books if you've read them without giving me spoilers. I'd love to know your thoughts.

Take care of yourselves guys and stay safe.

Speak soon,
George

Pink Super Moon - Reflections

Now then, I hope you are all safe and well.

 I am back again, twice in one week you lucky angels!

I hope you all rested well last night and managed to charge both yourselves and crystals within the light of the beautiful Pink Super Moon.

I use Nikki Strange's Luna Diary as my planner which gives e lovely prompts throughout the month for each phase of the moon cycle.

This Full Moon I reflect well on the strength of my relationships with loved ones. During this difficult time everyone has come together and it shows how strong my relationships are with those around me. I am so so so grateful.

Each New and Full Moon the journals note pages for reflection and gratitude.

I am grateful for my own strength.
I accept that every day is not easy and this too shall pass.

I am listening to meditative music to calm, relax and inspire my work.
I am grateful for the sunshine, spring and all the smells that come with the bloom.

I reach for Fluorite to balance my emotional well-being and my concentration.

I look to Amethyst for clearing my aura and encouraging peace in my daily activities.

I am grateful for Rose Quartz for enhancing my creativity and soothing my heart in these difficult times.

For my development in my art I am looking at nature and animals. I look to nature that is around me: cats, birds, etc. Though I take images from the web, I use the inspiration from my window and what I see outside.

Reflections:
We are healthy and safe.
People are so supportive of me, whether old friends or new.
I can make it through difficult times, I will be positive in my thoughts.

Mantra:
I am healthy, I am loved.

How have you reflected in this Full Super Moon? I'd love to know.

Stay safe and well!

Speak soon,
George

Blog Goals

Hi everyone,

I hope you're safe and well!

As I seem to keep banging on about, I want to increase my blogging motivation. At the moment, my motivation is mad! I have so much in me that I want to share and do I could explode! In any free time, I'm writing blog notes, sketching, and coming up with ideas that I  want to share with you.

I want to have this space to share content that I'm actually interested in. I want to know that if I saw one of my posts on Bloglovin', I'd stop and take a look. I want my blog to be like the good old days, lots of care but not 100% as professional as we would all like. I mean I am no photography professional. I want to keep everything so relaxed and fun.

I have only made 3 main blog goals, for the foreseeable future. Nothing extreme, they are super manageable as well, so not to overwhelm me. I think this is the best way for me to keep enjoying what I love to do.

Goals:

(1) Post on GeorgeFeas at least once every two weeks, or a couple more if the creative juices flow!

(2) Post content that I'm chuffed with and would actually be interested in reading. Get inspiration from those I follow and content excites me.

(3) To keep telling myself that it is not the end of the world if I don't do something I planned. Like a blog post or sketch. Chill out man, and you what you do!

Honestly, I know these goals are a given to some of you, but actually, it's nice to write them down and look at often. To keep your head screwed on and keep doing what you enjoy.

Let's see how well this goes, ey!

Stay safe guys and speak soon,

George

April Bullet Journal

Hi guys and dolls,

I hope you're all super well and coping in this time of isolation. I'm doing my best to make a positive out of this negative. Time at home, when I'm not working, has given me the motivation to blog again. I'm honestly so inspired at the moment and want to share a millions and one things with you.

I even set time aside to prep my bullet journal for April. I mean, if you saw my February set up you'd understand this achievement! I'm going back to m favourite planner days and using stickers again which I love. They make a spread pop without much time and energy put in which is great!

(If I had the patience to draw all the boxes out like others do, I 100% would. But I have zero attention span for draw many boxes.. I'll leave that to the experts!)

As you should have seen by my last post, I am starting to draw and be arty again. I thought I would input this into my April bujo spread. I am chuffed with the result but I know there is still plenty to practise and improve on. I didn't throw this away despite the mistakes. I thought I would draw something similar in a few months and see the improvement.

I used watercolour as a base and then some colour pencils. Nothing I used was dead fancy. Just what I've had in my cupboards for a long while.

My journal is the Leuchtturm 1917 and I LOVE it.

I drew a Robin and Blue Tit as I'm seeing so many in the garden now.

The stickers I used are from various shops - I will like them in my Instagram post for you all if you're interested!

I kept to a pink and blue colour scheme - it's a bit jumbled but it's clear enough for my notes that I will make next month.

I hope you're enjoying the posts so far. Stay safe and sound everyone!

Speak soon,

George

March Sketchbook

Hi everyone,

I hope you're well and staying safe.

I've been so inspired lately by artists I follow. For months now, I've been wanting to get back into my art but I have been too scared to. I continuously compare myself when I know I shouldn't - everyone is different, I know & preach this! In the end (after a few really dud doodles), I'm pretty chuffed with what I've done so far. I've taken inspiration from flowers (due to their beautiful colours) and I have used Pinterest for images of animals to sketch. Being happy with my work so far has really spurred me on to do more and more. Even small amounts during breaks at work.. I have no idea where all of this has come from but I hope it's here to stay! I want to create more and more to share with you guys and create a nice community here.

Fingers crossed (!!!) that I continue it to develop my skills, create more content, and do something I love for you all in this little corner of the world. For years now I've tried to do various posts on my blog and I decided a while ago that I need to stay true to what I enjoy and what inspires me (which honestly is a little bit of everything!) and I hope you guys all enjoy too!

From art to spirituality, from makeup to reading - there'll be plenty to choose from here, I'm sure!

Stop me from rambling.. Below, I have my sketchbook journey so far, just a couple of images to show my growth in a few days. Feel free to giggle at the shocking, childlike attempts I started with. I'm so happy to see my growth in the short period of time and work on my strengths.

I mean - what did I think I was doing here?! 

I mean - there are a few which I haven't shared but that's to save my embarrassment! They were just too bad!! Here's to continuing my motivation and I'll keep up with you guys on how I get on.

Stay safe everyone and speak soon,

George

Moving Home

Hi everyone,

I hope you're well!

Long time no inspiration but here we go again! I have an update and hopefully this will then become a little series..

I'm jumping on that property ladder this year and buying my own home with my other half. I'm far more excited than I could ever imagine, I tell you. It's been non-stop Pinterest searching from the moment we put the offer down.

Everything is taking it's time but running fairly smoothly I'd say. Everyone has been super helpful to us; we have a few bits and pieces already filling our current homes. I never knew I'd be so excited about crockery!

We have planned to decorate each room, to put our personal touch on the place. It's going to be so cosy and welcoming to us and any guest we invite along. I'm doing as much reading I can, (look out for my booklist post coming soon!), so that I can create a peaceful and loving environment with a little bit of magic.

Like I mentioned, I will probably do a mini series on here about each room. Inspiration, colours, themes, etc. We have a million and one ideas going through our heads so I'm excited to have the end result soon.

It's a cute and cosy home with enough space for me and the other half. We're honestly obsessed and talk about it non-stop.

If you want to follow me on Pinterest to have a sneak peak at our ideas then I'll pop a link below for you guys! I love looking at home improvements and house inspiration around the web; so, I'm hoping to create a little bit of sunshine and creativeness in my corner of the world.

Whilst waiting for the big move, I'm hoping to continue with my creative streak. I'm proper back into my art again, which is amazing. I'm also doing cross stitch and other creative bits to keep my mind at ease.

I'm also trying, (as you can see in this post) to get back into blogging and my social space. In this time of confusion and mild panic, it's fab to have a space where I can stay positive, creative and motivated. That's something I will continue (hopefully!) to do, as I sure love being creative in more ways than one.

Stay safe guys, and speak soon,

George

Hello 2020 !!

Holy Smokes.. what a gap it’s been in between posts.

I do get super into posting then go off on one weeks later. Does that happen to you? When I've got that surge of creativity I set myself for too much! I believe an audience enjoys content when it is stress free. (I do anyway!)

I’m not sure what’s gone on in the past few weeks but I’ve received a few follows on this little blog - thank you so much if you have! I do appreciate it. Really I do!

It was one of my intentions in 2020 to start up my content again. Both here, on YouTube and other sites I enjoy like Patreon. It’s not a resolution. I don’t believe they work for me.. I need to do things in my own time, as I’m sure many of you will agree. If I set myself small targets each month I will more than likely be able to achieve them.

I want to post different content on different pages. But keep the same running theme of love, magic and sparkle. That’s all I need in the world!

Welcome to my little corner! Let’s see how well I do this time with posting, ey! I’m not committing to anything; I’m not going to force anything as I know it will happen organically. That’s the easiest way! I'm going to brainstorm ideas and put time aside to be creative and do my own thing. I think that's super important.

I hope you all had fabulous New Years and 2020 has been kind to you so far - I know it has to me! This is the year of amazing changes for me, I'm so excited you wouldn't believe. I have set personal intentions to help me grow inside and out.

It's the Wolf Moon on Friday. I'm going to set time aside to review my intentions and reflect on the month so far. This Moon in Cancer encourages us to delve into plenty of self-care as well as looking after those around us. There's plenty of information out there if you want to take a read up on the Wolf Moon.

Take care you gorgeous souls.

Speak soon.

Love, George
