There’s a word I hear all the time and always with a “not” in front of it and it’s “I’m not photogenic”. I hear it on the phone before we’ve even booked, then again at the studio. It’s become the default opening line, one I got used to hearing, but it also made me stop...
Personally, I don’t take many selfies, but when I do, it’s usually one of two things. In my studio, phone up for a quick Instagram story to say here I am, this is where I’m working or what I’m doing today. The only purpose of this is simple and straightforward self-promotion, and I don’t mind...
When Pantone announced Cloud Dancer as the Pantone Colour of the Year 2026, the internet erupted. Critics called it boring, safe, even tone deaf. Some questioned whether white could even be considered a colour at all. Others felt it was a missed opportunity, a retreat into blandness when the world needs bold statements and vibrant...

So, I’ve been wrestling with this whole phone addiction habit thing lately. It’s like this magical device that sucks us in, right? Endless scrolling, reading, learning, and even games—it’s a real time-sucker! But hey, I’m on a mission to break free from the phone trap and get stuff done. Where did all this awareness start?...
This morning, I decided to break away from my usual walking routine and take a mindful walk. I live near the Richmond Lock so I went along the beautiful and peaceful path along the river. Armed with just my phone (not my trusty professional camera), I embraced the opportunity to be fully present and appreciate...
Scrolling is one my bad habits. I need to reduce my scrolling time. Thank you for sharing this article.
I know, it was my main time waster. Even if for work I have to use it, it’s so distracting! Thanks for reading.
I completely understand the struggle with phone addiction. Your tips from ‘Atomic Habits’ are spot-on. I also keep my phone in another room at night and silence notifications for better sleep. It’s small changes like these that add up. Thanks for sharing your insights!
