writings on the wall

if you caught the sam smith reference, good on you. but this isn't about the british crooner, unfortunately.

instead, it's about a collaboration with actseed.co, a local startup business which focuses on minimalist stationery and lifestyle products. they've sent me three three handwritten prints, so here's my take on styling them! it's been a while since i've busted out my flatlay moves becos of work, but curating the first set was so much fun.

these prints definitely came at the right time. just when i was feeling like i've hit my mid-life crisis (lol), i received these in the mail. putting them on display where i can see them everyday serves as a daily reminder to stop and smell the roses, and also to be kind to myself. i think we are our worst critics, so it's important to take a break from time to time before we all get burnt out. i'm working hard on that at the moment becos i personally find it hard to relax, but it's okay – baby steps, baby steps.

if you'd like to gift a loved one an inspirational pick-me-up, or if you're simply looking to spruce up your home with a little something, actseed would be perfect for that. they've also very kindly extended a discount code to all my followers! you can now take 10% off your total order with the code 'RACHEL10', valid until 31st july 2016.
