Time For A Short Break

Friday, 13 March 2015

Every once in a while, I think it's important to switch off, let yourself off a few of your usual commitments, and take a break from your daily routine in order to gain a bit of perspective on your passions and remember why it is that you do what you do. I have by no means fallen out of love with Follow Your Sunshine - quite the opposite, I'm enjoying it more than ever, but in the short term I have so many other commitments that I don't feel I'm able to give it (or myself come to mention it!) the time and attention it deserves.

I'm therefore taking a very short break to concentrate on some wedding planning, some career-related things and some exciting blogging-related projects (watch this space!). I'm looking forward to returning with renewed vigour in a week or two to continue my Dubai tales, to tell you about a very special restaurant and to share the story of another exciting 'staycation' which is happening this weekend.

In the meantime, I am continuing with my guest post series - I am so excited about the next few bloggers I have lined up! And of course I will still be chatting away on Twitter,  Instagram and Facebook if you fancy joining me there.

I'll leave you with a picture from last night with some friends of ours at Hakkasan, Doha.


I urge every one of you, whether you're in London or Doha, to get yourself to this restaurant at some point. It's a real corker.

See you soon. I'm off for a bit of me-time.

    Enjoy your hiatus, Polly! Always prioritize what's important to you first, that's what I've learned! xo

    I love your quote at the end! I totally agree -- sometimes you need a break to just recharge and take some time for yourself. I think that that a blogging break can end up making you a better blogger because you get to clear your head and come back recharged and ready to be creative. Can't wait to hear all about your saycation when you get back!

      I love the quote too! Simple yet motivating. You are so right, I haven't written a word for the blog for almost a week now and I'm already missing it and excited about returning to it. Absence makes the heart grow fonder ;-) Looking forward to writing about the staycation!! :-)
