Procrastination is Still Procrastination Even if you’re Being Productive

Procrastination gets us all at one time or another, doesn’t it. Even if you’re the most studious in whatever you’re doing, there will be moments when you hit a wall and don’t want to do anything. Or, want to do everything but what you need to do. It may feel good to get another task done, and […]

Why I Don’t Care if my House Looks Messy, Anymore

Our home. Is there anything so wonderful and comfortable? The feeling of throwing yourself on your own bed with your own comfy blankets and pillows after travelling is one of the best feelings in the world. Sitting on the couch, snuggled in a nest of blankets and pillows (perhaps there’s a theme here at my […]

Welcome to Juniper and Daisies

Hi, everyone! I’m so excited you found my page. I’m Michelle Lee-Ann, and boy, have I got some stories to share. I’ve had blogs throughout the years, going from travel niche to a lifestyle blog (The LT Edit), but neither felt 100% right. While I love travel, loved writing about it (still do!), and loved […]
