Helping people to live life in an unordinary way and tick off their bucket list items, WITHOUT havin
A little something for the weekend
If this year has taught us anything, it's that we should live our lives to the fullest. And while, we're still in various levels of restrictions throughout the UK, it doesn't mean we can't plan. Surrey-based lifestyle producer Holly Patrick has this advice.
With everything going on in this crazy world right now keeping in touch, socialising and spending quality time with friends is now more important than ever. People are spread across different locations, stuck inside and feeling a bit odd about the world around them.
Hen dos are always a fun, bonding experience but also, almost always, a drama to organise and adding drama to anything at the moment is to be avoided at all costs.

POSITIVE POST ALERT
Want something a bit different and distinctly personalised for your Mum this year, but you're busy with working or are having to stay inside and can't get out to the shops...
OR
Maybe your friend is having to self isolate or your colleagues are having to all work from home, and you're worried about morale and want to set up a 'home working employee of the month' incentive.
I can help by planning and delivering them a personalised package filled with good vibes and light relief.
THE IDEA: You brief me and I get to know the nuances of the person you are buying for and make this package distinctly personalised.
WHAT’S INSIDE: Wines to try, new music to listen to, healthy cocktail recipes and the ingredients, a good book, some seeds to plant in the garden, a personalised playlist, their favourite beauty and personal care products (nail polish, face mask etc) a gift card for a local business to help support in the current climate etc. Each one is different.
WHO’S IT FOR: Those in need of cheering up in a lighthearted way and to know that they are loved and valued.
Jump on a call with me, send over an email or send me a message, I'd love to help make this crazy time a little bit more fun.

Found this letter from 1937 while looking through some old family documents with my Mum and in light of yesterday’s news I wanted to share.
I want to highlight the importance of brilliant theatres like and what they were set up to do, to give and to share with the people of London and of the world. They need us now.
So grateful and honoured to be part of the Ashton family and have a connection in some way to Lilian Baylis and the impact that she had on the theatre world and want to encourage people to do what they can to help this amazing place.
With all the maddens in the world right now... don’t give in to panic. Talk about things with friends. Oh and don’t forget to have fun.
The idea of creating a bucket list is often misrepresented. It should be about taking the time to stop what you’re doing and focus on what makes you happy.
To think about the exciting things that you want to do in your life, the things that will make you feel alive. The stories that you want to tell your friends. And those once-in-a-lifetime experience that seems impossible, but that you want to dream and push for anyway.
There are so many ways to create a bucket list and I've shared my top 5 tips with British Style Society...
There are so many ways to create a bucket list, and Holly Patrick, Lifestyle Producer of heyyholly shares her top tips on taking your dreams to the next level.

Standing on stage at the is something that I have always wanted to do.
I never thought it would actually be possible as there is the fairly problematic issue that I am not a trained or reputable actor, BUT with a bit of faith and some creative thinking anything can be done right?!
George wanted to treat Helen to a 'party to remember' for her milestone birthday. A party that the guests would never forget, something that they would talk about for years to come and make amazing memories with old friends.
George wanted to treat Helen to a party of a lifetime and ensure that every single detail was considered, personal and memorable, and he chose heyyholly to make it happen...

“Life is always worth it.”
Yesterday I watched a TED talk from 2015 on the ‘Harvard Study of Adult Development’.
The study is considered one of the world’s longest studies of adult life, having started in 1938 during the Great Depression.
The men followed stated at the beginning – fame and wealth and high achievement are what they felt they had to go after. But the results showed that the people who faired the best were the people who leaned into relationships with family, friends, community - sharing meaningful moments with them.
My challenge to you – plan something for a loved one this weekend – do something new to help rekindle and old friendship, reinvigorate a stale relationship or show a family member how much they mean to you.
Who are you planning your surprise for and what are you going to do?
I'll start - I'm going to spend time with my two favourite things (pictured below) and make sure I hug them and tell them I love them.
I have also been planning a surprise 50th birthday for my sister-in-law on Saturday night, so I get to see loads of people I love this weekend.

Put together a bucket list of life-long dreams. And then actually start living. Here's some inspiration from lifestyle producer, Holly Patrick from heyyholly, to get you started.
It was my lovely client Natasha's birthday this week so in light of that I thought I would share her story with you for some bucket list inspiration...
Natasha and Dan had ‘get married somewhere quirky’ on their Bucket List but hadn’t yet planned it due thinking that they needed to save money for the future and that a wedding would be too expensive.
They had been scanning wedding blogs looking for money saving tips, speaking to budget experts, searching for venue deals to no avail. They were at their wits end and feeling really downtrodden.
I helped encourage and inspire them to go for it. I helped bring the pieces of the puzzle together with some creative thinking and simple solves that allowed Natasha and Dan to have the wedding that they didn’t think would be possible.

Today I had a couple of major knock backs that made me feel really down and disheartened. I am usually really good at picking myself back up again and focussing on the positive, but this time I wasn’t.
Tough times in my business make me feel vulnerable, exposed and sometimes like I want to give up.
I needed to stop and analyse why I was feeling like this. Figure out what I needed to do to pull myself through it, change the outcome and focus on the right beliefs to help me through this patch and stay focussed on my mission.
I needed to remember my purpose and the reason I am doing this – I want passion, excitement and beautiful moments in my life and I want that for everyone else too. My passionate aim is to bring peoples bucket list dreams to life by making them happen and by taking the pain away from planning.
I want to inspire others to never give up on a dream and that you only get one life and you need to live not just exist.
If any of you feel like giving up on a dream I want to be the reason why you don’t.
Let me help you make them happen and help me to live my dream while you live yours book a call in with me now and let’s get the ball rolling: https://www.heyyholly.com/bookacall
The shocking truth about a bucket list is that most people are too scared to even START working through theirs.
Almost all of us have a bucket list, but very VERY few people ever actually turn their dreams into reality, because they're worried about the cost ... Or their responsibilities ... Or asking for time off work ... Or they convince themselves they're not the 'adventurous type.'
And it breaks my heart, because these incredible people end up missing out on so much, and sacrifice making amazing memories because they didn't grab the chance when they had it.
Do you want to go from feeling suffocated by your routine, to living your Bucket List dreams, without having to spend hours researching, planning and trying to make the impossible happen?
Do you want to start doing EVERYTHING you've dreamed of - whether that’s performing a stand-up comedy gig to an enthusiastic crowd, watching the most beautiful sunset in the world, or hosting the best party of their life - without sacrificing your career, your family, or your financial security?
Well you can with just 5 simple steps.

I read something harrowing on LinkedIn yesterday that made me feel passionately about sharing with you. Being a platform for work based information something so raw and personal took me by surprise and I was intrigued.
A Senior Strategist at a well known marketing agency was expressing her pain at being diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer, with no hope of treatment.
She wanted to share her story to raise awareness of the flaws in HPV smear screenings but what she also did was state that she wanted to spend her last few months doing what she loved and spending time with those she loved.
The story got me thinking what if it was me or someone I loved? Would I use the same excuses that so many of us use to stop ourselves living moments that we want now?
“I don’t have the money.” “I can’t justify taking the time off work at the moment.” “I have to save money for a mortgage.” “It won’t be possible to do.”
Would these excuses still be the case if terminal cancer was the verdict? No. So don’t let them rule you now.
Life is too f*cking short and precious to waste. Remember how lucky you are to have yours in the palm of your hand. Live it, do the things you love and laugh like you’ve never laughed. Don’t let darkness win.
If you want to stand up and take action and actually live something on your bucket list now then let me research, plan and organise it all for you in the best possible way. All you have to do is live it.

Something sad that I see around me a lot is people being uninspired by the life they are living and yearning for more but are unsure of what to do about it.
Instead of seeking the answers they procrastinate and wait for that day that never seems to come.
They feel that their routine is suffocating them, that their relationship and family life restricts them from living life in the way that they truly want.
They dread coming home so they stay late at the office then go out with and drink to excess to find escapism from dealing with their problem. They end up damaging their health, pushing their family away and end up being alone and lonely, wishing that they had done things differently.
Don’t let this be you. Life is too short to waste feeling unfulfilled, uninspired or unhappy.
You are in control and you can change this. You don’t have to do this alone I am here to help you.
I want passion, excitement and beautiful moments in my life and I want that for you too.
I set up my business with the passionate aim to help stressed-out, busy professionals tick off their bucket list items, no matter how mad the idea, without having to dedicate any time to the planning, so that they can live rather than just exist.
I understand the importance of one-on-one support.
I treat my clients like friends, I am there with them every step of the way and there to help make them feel brave, excited and to ensure that whatever their bucket list item is, it happens in the best possible way.
An old colleague of mine Nikki can sum up what it’s like to work with me…
“During my time working with Holly, she has proven to be a woman who’s not shy of hard work. There is no task too big or small and she approaches all with enthusiasm and attention to detail. Holly has bundles of energy and brings laughter and a positive attitude.”

'Life’s a Bitch'. I hear this statement said a lot. Granted life can throw curve balls at you, but you are an active participant in your own life and you need to take control and get creating the one that you want.
What feelings do you want to feel? Excitement, passion, joy?
Any countries, places or locations that you want to visit?
Anything that you want to see in person while you can?
Any childhood passions that have fallen to the wayside that you still want to pursue?
What if I told you that you could achieve your bucket list goals and didn’t need to dedicate any time to the planning…
Didn’t need to worry that something you want is impossible or can’t happen…
And that you didn’t have to sacrifice any responsibilities in making these things happen…

So many Black Friday & Cyber Monday communications everywhere!! Instead of being brainwashed by retailers into spend fast money on things you don’t need, use that same urgency to spend it on something amazing.
Something that you've been thinking about doing but still haven’t….
Living your life the way that you want isn't easy. Why else would there be so many people who don’t?
Standing up, taking notice and actually taking action to do something about it takes guts. You need to be brave. Be accountable. Be unapologetic.
You also need to be ok with the fact that not everyone will approve of the life you live but know that living rather than just existing is the most important thing.
