Happy Friday Links

As you, perhaps, take stock of your life after the flurry of summer or winter (if you're reading in the Southern Hemisphere) here's some guidance and inspiration to ease that transition. Autumn/spring are great seasons for recalibrating our souls, our homes and our bodies so let's make some time for simplicity, health and happiness. 

• the only (ayurvedic) sleep advice you need to follow from Sarah Wilson. The benefits of sticking to a prescribed bed time each night.
• A shed of one's own: how women are reclaiming the garden via The Guardian. A peek inside the sheds of some female entrepreneurs. I'd love a visit to Laura's Lodge beauty salon in Glastonbury, how about you?
• winter clutter by Practising Simplicity. Jodi describes her preparations for the new season and encourages us to embrace new routines.
• What does eating well actually mean? by Anna Jones via The Pool. Anna shares her pragmatic views on eating well and also a great resource - scroll down to the bottom of her post for a fabulous pick n mix salad chart. No excuses for boring salads now!
• My Houzz: Stylish Small Space Living on a Barge Awash with Smart Ideas via Houzz. Looking at this beautifully simple boat brings me instant calm.

I hope you enjoy these reads. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments about A Year of Less Spending. I'm delighted to hear that I'm not alone in wanting to step back from mindless consuming. I'll update you soon xo
