This is our first blog post, and my, first, ever, blog post! I’ll start by introducing myself, a little.
I’m Karen, the owner and founder of The Smile Parcel, I’m 36 years young, married, with 2 slightly crazy (and lovely) Schnauzers, and we live in Leicestershire, in the UK.
Before The Smile Parcel, we ran a successful home accessories and gifts business online, and then in 2016, we decided it was time to do something different, and something personal.
The Smile Parcel is still a very young business – we’ve just sent out our second parcels, but we’re grateful for the lovely feedback we’ve already received, it means so much.
I’m going to post more about why we’re here, and what The Smile Parcel is all about, over the next few weeks, along with mental health tips, and mindfulness techniques that I’ve learnt from therapists…and numerous self-help books!
I’m hoping to use this blog to get people talking as much as possible about mental health, as we all have mental health after all, and do my bit to help knock down the silly taboo surrounding it.
