Sabrina Has 6 Ways to Improve your Well Being

Today On The Blog I Am Discussing Ways to Improve your Well Being.

It’s actually easier than you think to improve your well being. I began to do these things last year and am happy to say that I achieve most of these most weeks still.

✩ Stay Active
✩ Read More
✩ Eat Well And Proportionally
✩ Remember To Climb Those Stairs
✩ Try Something New Once In A While
✩ Do Something You Love Every Day And Enjoy Yourself

✩ Staying active is easy providing you stick to what you’re able to do. Even a ten minute walk is better than not walking at all. Other easy exercise includes gentle swimming and cycling. However if you’re generally a healthy person you might want to take up a new hobby this summer, walking outdoors is often free to do. You can make it fun for children by playing Spotting or Eye Spy games.

✩ Reading more is something I’m passionate about myself and I aim to increase mine even further. Whether you read the news, a book, a magazine, you are still working your brain by reading the words, and looking up words you don’t know is also beneficial. But more than that you are exercising your brain and taking in knowledge, despite what you read, a physical book or on a screen, it’s still reading.

✩ Eating well is so important anyway for your health, but portion sizes and proportion is vital. You need a good ratio of the main elements of food types as well as the right sizes of these types. Your 5 fruit and vegetables a day is also a key element in keeping your body healthy.

✩ Climbing a couple more staircases every day rather than taking the easy routes of lifts and escalators is something to consider. Your heart rate increases when you climb inclines or stairs, this is classed as exercise, even if it only takes you one minute to do the task. Stairs are also good for using muscles in your legs.

✩ Your mind needs to remain healthy too, and one way you can accomplish this is by trying something new. Whether it’s a hobby or activity, playing a board game or simply going somewhere new. New things stimulate your brain.

✩ No matter what kind of day you have, a busy day, a slow day, a stressful day or a day of fun! You should do one thing that you love each day. This is more for a sanity reason, but we all get busy and chores and work come ahead of what we want to do or love to do. For example, I love to play games, so I allocate twenty minutes in an afternoon or evening where I play Scrabble on my mobile phone. It’s not just something I enjoy but it also stimulates my brain by getting me to think.


Sabrina’s Top Tip!

Don’t try and accomplish all of the sections above in the same go! Perhaps do one a week and then see if you can achieve it again the following week. Also my tip is to pick the one you believe is most achievable to you!

Thank you for visiting Severn Wishes for this lifestyle post today, I hope that you have enjoyed it. Leave me a comment if you want to, I would love to hear what you think about it.

Review of the KeriKit Thor Backpack and Changing Bag

The KeriKit Thor Backpack and Baby Changing Bag

I was so lucky to have won this backpack last Autumn, and I was ecstatic about the quality and the size. I can go out for the day with one bag for all things. I am able to fit a huge amount in this bag, and I will list the items below for those who are interested.

This bag was Oxblood coloured Genuine Leather and features two main compartments accompanied by several pockets that are zip protected. All the space and different areas to store items help with the general organisation of the bag itself.

Oxblood Thor Leather Baby Changing Backpack. RRP £275.

Features of the Thor Baby Changing Backpack

This leather bag has been award winning for Kerikit and is not just great for busy parents but anyone who likes a quality leather bag with tons of space. The one I was lucky to win was Oxblood but they currently supply a Nude or Tan shade of leather Thor bag.

The Thor features two large internal pockets that are separate. The main one has fabric divided into five sections so it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. It has fabric inside it that is waterproof and the outer leather is easy to wipe clean and maintain.

Two long leather straps at the back allow the bag to be carried on ones back, or you could place it in the bottom of a pram, or even use the hooks situated either side to hook on to pram hooks at the handle bar.

The back pocket section of the bag has a keys ring and luggage hook so they won’t get lost in the depths of the backpack.

The fabric itself has a stylish pattern on it and its colour makes it easy to see things when looking inside the bag.

In addition to the main part of the bag there are four zipped pockets, one horizontal compartment either side and one secret pocket at the back part situated vertically. These are all good sizes and add to the bags surprising versatility. Finally you will the fourth inside the main compartment, ideal for small medicines or valuables.

Bag Details
Weight 1.5 kg
Dimensions 30 × 18 × 40 cm
You also receive a baby changing mat and separate washable and waterproof lined food bag.
Me out and about with the backpack in use.

Overall I am so happy that I won this beautiful backpack, and I adore the colour too. It has now been up and down the country with us and it still fits everything inside it that we need, despite my son now being 8 months of age and us needing to take more things with us.

What I usually carry inside the bag on a day out includes a change of outfit for baby, his bottle of cooled boiled water, a bottle of water for myself, sweets and snacks for longer days out, 4 nappies (minimum), a packet of baby wipes, two creams, nappy sacks, 2 bibs, spare socks, a packet of tissues, 2 muslin cloths, spare top for myself and breast pads, one of his toys if not two, and finally a plastic bag for placing dirty items.

I can fit in the bag additionally items you would usually find in a ladies handbag, such as wallet, lip salve, toiletries etc, as sometimes I don’t want to carry more than one item. This does make the bag quite full up but it still closes due to the nature of the drawstring and magnetic stud.

My final review scores for the item are;
Quality 5/5
Design Practicality 5/5
Design Fashion 5/5
Value for Money 5/5

The 3 outer zipped pockets are really handy, especially this one situated at the back of the bag. The leather is beautiful too.

My Jewellery Box UK Favourite Bracelets – A Style for Everyone & Review of New Purchases

Jewellery Box UK New Purchases Review & My Custom Pieces

I always buy my earrings from Jewellery Box UK but lately I have been looking at some of their other items. Some I had previously bought and have now considered getting them as gifts for others, due to their excellent quality but also their affordable prices.


2. Sterling Silver 3mm curb cable bracelet (Left).
3. Sterling Silver floating heart charm (Right).

When purchasing a gift recently I came across a Heart Charm that I adored, but I had no necklace to put it inside. Then I had the great idea of sliding the charm on to a bracelet I already had. These are the two items and what the bracelet looks like with my idea completed.

Top – My Custom Bracelet Designed By Me
Bottom – The sterling silver beaded diamond cut star bracelet
Model – Severn Sabrina

My Jewellery Box UK Fave bracelets for everyone’s style!
They have Infinity, Circles, Hearts, Stars and even Geometric pieces that all look more expensive than they are.

What I love the most about all of these bracelets is how they look expensive but are very affordable. They are delicate yet well made, their quality is apparent in the products shine and with the 925 hallmark stamps.

I cannot pick a favourite but I love how I have created my own piece using two of the Jewellery Box UK best sellers.

Here is a little more information about the bracelets you can see in my images and the charm I used to customise one of them too. I will also include website links if you wish to purchase anything yourself.

March 2019 Treatbox Reveal

Hello and Welcome to the March 2019 Treatbox Reveal
with Sabrina of Severn Wishes Blog.

Happy Treat Box Day! It’s the first of March 2019! I’m so happy to be able to bring you this Reveal on the first day of the new month. March is also my birthday which is next week! So this feels like an extra gift and present from myself to… well, me!

I open the box and the little sticker reads “Chin Up Buttercup” and this month the tissue paper is a Light Blue colour.

I think of March as Spring, the weather should be improving and flowers start blooming. I wonder if any of those themes will appear in the box this time.

So here are all of the contents of this months Treatbox…

This month there are 6 items, plus A5 Print and Calendar Print.

Calendar Print for March 2019
Designed by Treatbox – A Colour by Numbers Print A5
Bee Good – Plump and Firm Moisturiser 15ml Made in UK.
A Set of 4 Ditsy Garden Nail Files
Metal Bird on Rope – Hanging Decoration – Sass & Belle
Baby Pineapple Snack Bag (25g)
Squirrel Sisters Raspberry Ripple Energy Bars 2 x 20g (Contains Nuts, Vegan, GF) Made in the UK.

A Packet of Lavender Seeds for us to grow and nurture

Here are some images of the items within the March box…

My Thoughts on the March Box

I really liked the theme of Spring and Flowers. The box was well executed with the items combining well together, something to eat, something to use, something to do and something to look at.
Over all the box has several items that are good quality, either made using British products or made within the United Kingdom.
It’s nice to have something for the home that is really useful, the tea towel is especially nice, very Spring worthy, with bright colours and a nice happy pattern.
I like the idea of the colour by numbers print this month. I also really like the idea of growing the Lavender. Hopefully it will work as it’s one of my favourite flowers and I would love to plant the seedlings in my garden once they’ve grown large enough.
I will make some images of my progress using these Treatbox items on my social media, as always.

Check out my previous posts in this unique category of my website called ‘Treatbox’ especially for these box reviews and reveals – Severn Wishes Treatbox.
