ABOUT

LIFESTYLE YORKSHIRE is a lifestyle blog written by me, Olivia featuring my LOVES in life, mostly from the very beautiful place we live, Yorkshire.

The photographs I take and posts I write are places and things I’ve discovered and am genuinely excited about.  Born and raised in Yorkshire, UK this blog naturally features places close to HOME but whatever the post, it always showcases things close to my HEART.

It is bold, it is vivacious and it loves LIFE!

…

Thanks for stopping by; I’d love to hear from you, what kinds of features you’d like to read etc so just leave a little message below and let’s connect!

We wait all year for evening light like this✨. Uploaded a first video to IGTV today. I will be using the platform for purpose so that every time you choose to watch, you are getting value for following A Place Within. Balance Bytes will include exercise videos, scenery to breathe in (today’s), mentor posts, possibly some foody ones and then some for pure fun. I’ve really enjoyed getting some graphics together over the weekend and look forward to sharing more with you. Let me know your thoughts, things you enjoy or would love to see included. Have a great evening. Olivia 💐✨. . . . #home #placewithin #mentoring #soul #personaldevelopment #balance #styleithappy #realhomes #atmine #apartmenttherapy #styling #instahome #designsponge #farrowandball #homestyling #myeclecticmix #interiorinspo #pocketofmyhome #interiorstyling #homedecor #cornerofmyhome #ivy #star #weekend
These beauties have been stunning and were responsible for me having the thought “pink actually looks great in this room”! These days I’m open to embracing more and more of whatever the soul leans toward... I certainly won’t be doing anything drastic but I like the options that become available when we defend our preferences with less rigidity. Here’s to a great weekend, today I learned that a yellow helicopter = an air ambulance… If you’ve seen my stories, you’ll know what I’m talking about and why this home is one of laughter 😅. . . . #ihopeeveyonesok #home #placewithin #mentoring #soul #personaldevelopment #balance #styleithappy #realhomes #atmine #apartmenttherapy #styling #instahome #designsponge #farrowandball #homestyling #myeclecticmix #interiorinspo #pocketofmyhome #interiorstyling #homedecor #cornerofmyhome #peonies #filey #bar #gin #drinks #weekend
Happy first day of Summer! I wonder what colour Mother Nature will pull out the bag tonight. For those who haven’t seen ‘stories’, this was last night’s zero filter sunset, absolutely stunning to watch whilst listening to the birds knocking out another hit record 🎶. Have a beautiful evening people 🙏🏻. . . . . #eveningsun #sunset #soulfood #balance #gratitude #slowliving #photography #outdoors #countryside #scenery #potd #wellbeing #love #Yorkshire #trees #silhouette #clouds
Work day lunch date (bottom right): cuddles on the rocks with a less-than-well 3 yr old nephew who came out with his Mama for some stone-bashing which never happened. All he wanted to do was sleep. We drank coffee, snacked, shared life and watched the heron who fished the whole time. Rarely have I seen the river this low! . Pauses like this create balance which makes life such that you don’t feel you need a holiday from it. . . . . #soulfood #balance #pause #mentor #lifementor #gratitude #sun #slowliving #photography #outdoors #countryside #scenery #potd #spring #wellbeing #love #Yorkshire #Ilkley
Because life’s to short to give a damn about being too much ✨ . I spied this sequinned skirt at the top of the stairway @dunnesstores. It hung there glistening. Though I wasn’t even in the running for a skirt, once we’d perused the upper floor, at the last minute before descending the stairs, I whipped it off the rail announcing I would try it on “for a laugh”. . It fit like a glove, it came home with me. I’ve never worn anything that sparked so many conversations with strangers as it did that night in Dublin. I’m SO glad I made the purchase - it’s such a fun piece and was worn again last Tuesday when P and I went out for my birthday supper. Week 1 into 40’s has been characterised by COLOUR in so many ways. I’m offering no resistance 🌈 . . . . . #birthday #forty #style #sequins #sparkle #balance #grateful #slowliving #wellbeing #gratitude #love #Yorkshire #mentor
This weekend Iooked the opposite of what goes as normal for me - every once in a while it does you good! Out last night for more 40th shenanigans, bed 3am after getting in at 1am talking, laughing and dancing till we noticed it getting light outside ✨ Today the house was full of good energy as the tribe came for Fathers Day lunch. Now it’s just Miss P and I. Once she’s in bed I’ll spend the evening reading in total silence, balancing out the weekend nicely 😊. . Much to be thankful for, I count it a privilege to have a an amazing Father who is committed to doing later life so well. Many daughters never get that opportunity in life for whatever reason, so it’s not anything I take lightly. Have a great rest of your weekend, I’ll see you in Monday 🙏🏻 . . . #countryside #tractor #soulfood #balance #gratitude #slowliving #photography #outdoors #countryside #scenery #potd #wellbeing #love #Yorkshire #trees #clouds #fathersday
Ever seen a blue whale in Yorkshire? I did, sky swimming at sunset last night! 🐋 Just look at those colours, amazing perfection ✨ Have a great Saturday ✨ . . . #eveningsun #sunset #soulfood #balance #gratitude #slowliving #photography #outdoors #countryside #scenery #potd #wellbeing #love #Yorkshire #trees #whale #silhouette #clouds
My first bunch of the year, given to me for my 40th on Tuesday. To say I am enjoying them is an understatement. Don’t you think you appreciate certain things more when they exist inside a short season? Wishing you all a fantastic weekend. Recharge well, whatever that looks like for you 💐. . . . . . #home #placewithin #mentoring #soul #personaldevelopment #balance #styleithappy #realhomes #atmine #womenwhowok #apartmenttherapy #styling #instahome #designsponge #farrowandball #homestyling #myeclecticmix #interiorinspo #pocketofmyhome #interiorstyling #homedecor #cornerofmyhome #peonies ##birthday filey #bar #gin #drinks #weekend
🌈How fantastic is this Aer Lingus terminal walkway! There’s a NEW BLOG POST up about how I helped a lady beside herself with fear of flying last weekend. . • You too can use the same strategy in any situation where you need to get a result IN THE MOMENT with someone who is fixated on their problem! (As a parent, it’s worked 99% of the time for me over the years😉). • Link in profile to read. . . . #balance #travel #dublin fear #breakthrough #rainbow #slowliving #photography #wellbeing #airport #flying #Yorkshire #mentor #personaldevelopment
