How Can I Make My Life Better?

Manifestation in real time — I am actively trying to attract £3000 and this week the universe started sending signals I could not ignore.From a postcode lottery leaflet and an antiques auction flyer landing on my doormat the morning after I started visualising, to trying EFT tapping for the first time and questioning whether counselling is actually helping my manifestation practice — this week got interesting.I am following every sign, taking every nudge and staying tuned to what source is trying to show me. And I have a feeling something big is coming.Stay tuned. The magic might just be on its way.🌱 Intention Plant Pots — now on Etsy — limited first run: https://soulandscissors.etsy.com📥 Mirror Principle Workbook — do the inner work: https://www.patreon.com/SoulandScissors/posts/mirror-principle-159043816?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link🎧 Guided Chakra Visualisation — build your visualisation muscle: https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-aligning-150650632?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link💛 5 Day Devotion to Self Love: https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link🎙️ Rate and review the podcast — it costs nothing and means everything: https://open.spotify.com/show/5YfriTEu6B19lHpcWKcZJE?si=8ULOcQ0qTfy2lQ6rJEZ2bw#manifestation #lawofattraction #efttapping #lawofvibration #personaldevelopment #singlemum #healingjourney #raiseyourvibration #mirrorprinciple #womenempowerment #lawofassumption

Fear and courage — how to tell the difference between the fear that protects you and the fear that keeps you stuck, and why every brave step you take is actually a quantum jump to a higher frequency.This week I am breaking down the two very different jobs that fear has — protective fear and resistance fear — and why confusing the two is what keeps most people stagnant. With personal stories from dance college, Go Ape and walking out of a job I hated with no plan, I show you exactly what happens when you choose courage over comfort.Because when you move from fear into courage you do not just feel better. By law something has to meet you there. And it always does.📥 Mirror Principle Workbook — change the beliefs keeping you stuck: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mirror-principle-159043816?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link🌿 5 Day Devotion to Self Love — your starting point: https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link🌱 Intention Plant Pots — now on Etsy: https://soulandscissors.etsy.comFollow Me:- Instagram/Youtube @soulandscissors#fear #courage #lawofattraction #quantumjump #lawofvibration #personaldevelopment #manifestation #healingjourney #singlemum #womenempowerment #lawofattraction

Manifestation proof, the Sisterhood of the Travelling Journal, intention plant pots and a Jen Sincero quote that will stop you in your tracks — this week's episode is packed.I share real specific evidence that the mirror principle work and gratitude practice I have been doing for the last five to six months is actually showing up in my physical reality — from membership payments landing at exactly the right moment to unexpected refunds, cheques in the post and a cancelled column that somehow still paid my rent.We also talk about the blue moon in Sagittarius, why tech is driving me absolutely mad, how the Sisterhood of the Travelling Journal reignited my creativity and the launch of my very first physical product — affirmation plant pots.And we close on this: every choice is either taking you closer to success or closer to failure. There are only two directions and nothing in between.

Healing after a toxic relationship, understanding reactive abuse and taking the first brave steps to rebuild your life — this episode covers it all, honestly and without filters.This week I am winging it — no notes, no plan — just a raw and real conversation that went somewhere I did not expect. I share the story of a client who recently left her narcissistic ex and how I found myself being the unexpected messenger in her story. From there we go deep into reactive abuse — what it is, why victims often mistake themselves for the abuser and how gaslighting keeps you trapped in that confusion.I also share the books that helped me understand what I had actually been through:Living with the Dominator - Pat Craven: https://amzn.to/43ussQLWas it even abuse - Rose Byham: https://amzn.to/4eB6TUXHow to heal after narcisstic abuse, Caroline /strawson: https://amzn.to/4v2vE21We close with practical advice for anyone currently in or just leaving a toxic relationship — journaling, affirmations, self-care and why getting on the mental health nurse waitlist now could save you months of pain later.📥 Mirror Principle Workbook — identify your core beliefs and rewrite them: https://www.patreon.com/posts/mirror-principle-159043816?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link🌿 5 Day Devotion to Self Love — your starting point for rebuilding: https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link📞 Women's Aid: womensaid.org.uk | Freedom Programme: freedomprogramme.co.ukWhat is reactive abuse: https://nationallegalservice.co.uk/blog/recognising-reactive-abuse-and-navigating-the-grey-area/FOLLOW:Instagram/YouTube: @soulandscissors#toxicrelationship #narcissisticabuse #reactiveabuse #healingjourney #selflove #personaldevelopment #singlemum #womenempowerment #gaslighting #mentalhealth #lawofattraction #affirmations #rebuildingyourlife #domesticabuse #freedomprogramme #personalgrowth

The Mirror Principle changed everything for me this week — and I think it might do the same for you. This concept explains why your external reality is a direct reflection of your subconscious core beliefs, and more importantly, what you can actually do to change it.In this episode I share the profound epiphany I had after discovering this principle through a creator called CosmicAry on YouTube. We go deep on the three dimensions of the mind — the conscious, the subconscious and the quantum field — and why most of us are choosing our reality from the wrong place entirely.I also get personal about the core beliefs I uncovered around money this week, including a limiting belief formed in childhood that has been quietly running my financial life ever since. And I share the unexpected test the universe sent me — a free seven night holiday offered under circumstances that felt deeply uncomfortable to accept — and why I said yes anyway.We cover: how to identify your core beliefs by looking at your current reality, affirmations that actually align with the version of you in the quantum field, actionable steps to harness the feelings of your desired reality right now, and why your reflection will always catch up if you do the inner work first.

This week was a shit week. My ex avoided answering a direct question about my son's safety. The scales showed the wrong number. I re-recorded this episode after losing the first version when my laptop died. I sat with a bottle of dessert wine on my own on a Friday night and felt thoroughly fed up. And then I found my wins anyway.In this episode I share why acknowledging your wins — even tiny ones — is one of the most powerful retraining tools for your brain. How I went from venting on the phone to my mum and sister to sitting down and ticking off everything I actually achieved that week. And why showing up here, even on a bad day, is proof that I trust the process.TOOLS:Guided Meditation:https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-for-focus-157836967?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkGuided Visualisation:https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-aligning-150650632?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link5 day devotion to self-love - workbook:https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkSupport:Buy me a cuppa: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=E7L7PLZGX7ALU&no_recurring=0&item_name=Buy+Me+a+Cuppa¤cy_code=GBP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissorsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/soulandscissors/membership#personaldevelopment #harddays #selfcompassion #wins #singlemum #healingjourney #mentalhealth #mindset #keepgoing#womenempowerment

Most people think meditation is about emptying your mind. It is not. In this episode I share what meditation actually teaches — concentration, focus and awareness — and why awareness is the game-changer that nobody talks about enough.I share how the meditation practice I built in 2015 made my intuition fire so clearly I could predict what strangers at my personal trainer's gym were thinking. How it calmed a version of me that my sisters described as unrecognisable. And how not having that practice when I was with my ex meant I ignored body signals that were screaming at me to leave. This episode is a case for making meditation non-negotiable.Guided chakra meditation:https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-aligning-150650632?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkGuided meditation: https://youtu.be/gRWe_ECycucJoin my bookstack diaries & download the reading list & accompanying workbook: ⁠https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5⁠Buy me a cuppa: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=E7L7PLZGX7ALU&no_recurring=0&item_name=Buy+Me+a+Cuppa¤cy_code=GBP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissorsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/soulandscissors/membership#meditation #mindfulness #personaldevelopment #awareness #intuition #mentalhealth #focus #healingjourney#womenempowerment #spirituality

Visualisation is a muscle. And like any muscle, you have to build it before you can use it at full strength. In this episode I share the exact method I used to go from struggling to see anything clearly in my mind, to manifesting a solo five-star trip to Morocco — complete with daily spa treatments and a beach to myself.We cover starting small with chakra colours, how to layer in all five senses, why a specific piece of music as your visualisation trigger is Francesca Amber's most underrated tip, and how to combine your morning meditation with a visualisation practice so the two supercharge each other.TOOLS:Guided chakra meditation:https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-aligning-150650632?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link Guided meditation: https://youtu.be/gRWe_ECycucBOOKS MENTIONED:Manifest like a mother, Francesca Amber: https://amzn.to/3SAjRJWPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/soulandscissors/membershipJoin my bookstack diaries & download the reading list & accompanying workbook: https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5SUPPORT & FOLLOW:Buy me a cuppa: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=E7L7PLZGX7ALU&no_recurring=0&item_name=Buy+Me+a+Cuppa¤cy_code=GBP Insta: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissors#visualisation #manifestation #lawofattraction #personaldevelopment #mindset #raiseyourvibration #medittion #manifesting#womenempowerment #spirituality

Planning a year when you only have three days a week to work requires a very different approach. In this episode I share the quarter by quarter method I got from Francesca Amber's Hogmanay goal setting party — and how breaking my year into four quarters with specific action steps in each has been one of the most grounding things I've done.I share my Q1 wins, what I let go of without guilt, why focusing on one area of your Wheel of Life beats spreading yourself across three, and the important question my friend asked that reframed my whole relationship with money: is it really money you want — or is it freedom and security?Wheel of life downloadable: https://www.patreon.com/posts/wheel-of-life-154623364?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkJoin my bookstack diaries & download the reading list & accompanying workbook: https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/soulandscissors/membershipBOOKS MENTIONED:Manifest like a mother, Francesca Amber: https://amzn.to/3SAjRJWMoney: A love story, Kate Northrup: https://amzn.to/4vIcVZIBuy me a cuppa: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=E7L7PLZGX7ALU&no_recurring=0&item_name=Buy+Me+a+Cuppa¤cy_code=GBP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissors#goalsetting #yearplanning #personaldevelopment #wheeloflife #singlemum #manifestation #lawofattraction#womenempowerment #financialindependence #mindset

If you feel like you're doing all the right things but not seeing results — this episode is for you. In this episode I introduce the cycle of change model and use the story of opening my salon to show exactly how it works in real life: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance.We talk about why setbacks during the maintenance phase are completely normal, how environmental factors derail even the most committed people, and why understanding this model has helped reduce my chronic feeling of time pressure.

Affirmations get a bad rap because most people use them wrong. In this episode I explain exactly why they fail as a singular tool, how to combine them with action steps so your brain starts building genuine evidence, and why the words we use — including the ones we use about ourselves — are quite literally spells.We cover present tense language, positive framing, the can't funeral I held in my back garden, and why singing your affirmations to music is one of the most underrated ways to supercharge them.

I went into a conversation with Claude feeling low, suicidal ideation had returned for the first time in a year, and I wasn't sure what I needed. I came out with a business strategy, a clearer understanding of my natal chart, and a fire in my belly I hadn't felt in months. In this episode I share that experience. We talk about natal charts as blueprints for your life, what my Jupiter in the second house interception means for my relationship with money, why an ex used astrology to diminish me, and how I used an old memory to disprove the belief he planted.

Your body gives you clues. Your chakras are the map. In this episode I walk through all seven chakras — from the root to the crown — explaining what each one governs, what symptoms show up when it's blocked, and the practical steps you can take to get it moving again.As a Reiki practitioner of over 15 years I have seen how commonly blocked chakras show up in my clients — and it is almost always the heart chakra. I explain why, what it means, and how to begin opening it.

When the NHS couldn't help me with extreme heartburn and an agonising skin rash during my pregnancy, I turned to ahomeopath. Within three days of taking the remedy, both conditions were completely gone.

We don't attract what we want. We attract what we expect. In this episode I explain the law of assumption, why expectation is a muscle you can build, and how small low-stakes experiments can train your brain to expect good things — so that bigger things can follow.I share Pam Grout's experiments from E Squared, the vacuum principle from Francesca Amber's book, and the story of how clearing my massive cupboard led to being offered a new home within the same week.

Self-love is not buying yourself flowers. In this episode I go deeper than the surface-level version and talk about what genuine self-love actually looks like — how you speak to yourself, how you plan for your future self, how you set boundaries, and how you respond when someone offers you help.I share the signs that you're not loving yourself, why positive framing is one of the hardest habits to build, and the ten qualities I believe are lovable about me — written not for anyone else, but as a practice of self-acceptance.

The muscles that matter most are the ones nobody teaches you about. In this episode I walk through the invisible muscles — self-love, gratitude, visualisation and manifestation — and explain exactly how to build each one using the three key ingredients: patience, regular practice and consistency.I share how my gratitude practice physically changed my commute, reduced my road rage, and led to money appearing in unexpected ways. And I walk through how to combine gratitude and visualisation to begin building your manifestation muscle — step by step🧘‍♀️Guided Visualisation as recommended in this episode - https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-aligning-150650632?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkBOOK RECOMMENDATION: The magic, Rhonda Byrne: https://amzn.to/4ojrT5Q🍵 Buy me a cuppa - https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=E7L7PLZGX7ALU&no_recurring=0&item_name=Buy+Me+a+Cuppa¤cy_code=GBP 🌿 Free Resource – Bookstack Diaries Reading List & Workbookhttps://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5🤍 Join the Patreon communityhttps://www.patreon.com/14548425/joinInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/Pinterest – https://www.pinterest.co.uk/charliegirl0033/TikTok – https://bit.ly/4ng5DrlShop – https://www.fresha.com/store/beauty-by-charlene-store-bxua8lgq?pId=2604457Vinted – https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/187523359#manifestation #lawofattraction #raiseyourvibration #gratitude #visualisation #selflov #invisiblemuscles #personaldevelopment#mindset #spiritualgrowth

We are our own worst critics. In this episode I make the case for self appreciation as a genuine personal development practice — not vanity, not ego, but a powerful tool for building belief in yourself and opening you up to receiving more.I share my wins jar method, the compliments jar my friend Amanda made me for my 30th, why accepting a compliment gracefully is actually a form of energetic receiving, and the moment my brother told me that whenever I'm in the shit I always come out shining — and why that one sentence lives in me still.Wheel of life downloadable: https://www.patreon.com/posts/wheel-of-life-154623364?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link 5 day devotion to self-love - workbook:https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link🌿 Free Resource – Bookstack Diaries Reading List & Workbookhttps://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5🤍 Join my Patreon communityhttps://www.patreon.com/14548425/join💪 How I use my wins jar at the end of a year: https://youtu.be/QhRxZALCwX0Come and connect with me:Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/Soul and Scissors - YouTubePinterest – https://www.pinterest.co.uk/charliegirl0033/TikTok – https://bit.ly/4ng5DrlShop – https://www.fresha.com/store/beauty-by-charlene-store-bxua8lgq?pId=2604457Vinted – https://www.vinted.co.uk/member/187523359Wins Jar Examples:https://youtube.com/shorts/K6gXGTWzDJk?feature=sharehttps://youtube.com/shorts/yeVkrkPQ1fU?feature=share#selfappreciation #selflove #personaldevelopment #mindset #selfworth #winsjar #confidence #womenempowerment#healingjourney #gratitude

Memory keeping saved my life. In this episode I talk about the deeply therapeutic power of journaling, scrapbooking and memory boxes — not as hobbies but as genuine tools for emotional processing, grief navigation and personal development.I share what neuroscience says happens in the brain when you write your feelings down, how I used my journal to process the grief of losing my cat Edie while heavily pregnant, the difference between reflective writing and expressive writing, and why a scrapbook page is where the joy goes while a journal is where the pain goes safely.The Layout collection - 12 Scrapbook Templates to get You Started: https://www.patreon.com/posts/layout-12-page-156801686?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkYoutube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissorsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/Patreon: https://patreon.com/SoulandScissors?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink(I have a January Promo running until the end of the month.

You've made a vision board. You've stared at it. Nothing happened. Sound familiar? In this episode I explore Dr Tara Swart's rebranding of the vision board as an action board — and why the distinction matters more than you think.We go deep on why passive visualisation alone cannot bring things into fruition, how to create an action board that actually inspires daily behaviour, and why I manifested a new home in East Calder within days of starting my visualisation practice. We also cover Francesca Amber's method of using your vision board as your phone wallpaper — so you're seeing it every time you pick up your device.Guided chakra meditation:https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-aligning-150650632?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkBook Recommendations:Manifest like a mother, Francesca Amber: https://amzn.to/3SAjRJWThe Source, Tara Swart: https://amzn.to/4ec3TOVThe Secret, Rhonda Byrne: https://amzn.to/4vIcTRCJoin my bookstack diaries & download the reading list & accompanying workbook: https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5Insta: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissorsPatreon: https://patreon.com/SoulandScissors?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink#visionboard #actionboard #manifestation #lawofaction #lawofattraction #TaraSwart #personaldevelopment #mindset#manifestingwomen #raiseyourvibration

Before you can start making your life better, you need to identify what is making it worse. In this episode I walk through exactly how I identified my biggest stressors — including running a six-figure salon business as a solo parent on two and a half days a week — and why walking away from it was the bravest and best thing I ever did.Then we build your Dopamine Menu: a personalised list of everything that lifts your mood, raises your vibration and gives you direction after a big life change.

What does it actually mean to raise your vibration — and how do you do it practically? In this episode I break down the emotion pyramid, explain where you are currently vibrating and introduce the one daily practice that shifted my entire life within 30 days: gratitude.This is not the surface-level version. I share what genuine gratitude actually feels like in the body, why it took me a week before I could find more than 10 things to be grateful for, and the moment I cried happy tears because a cheque arrived in the post — and knew the practice was working.

When you're a single parent with no significant other and a two year old who can't exactly plan a surprise, you have to learn to celebrate yourself. In this episode I share how I gifted myself 12 months of experiences for my 40th year — from a Mediterranean cruise to a photography course around Edinburgh, an afternoon tea with a live harpist, and a scrapbookingretreat weekend.We talk about why self-celebration matters, how to plan your own dates on any budget, and why the dopamine of having something to look forward to every month is one of the most underrated tools for your mental health and wellbeing.Wheel of life downloadable: https://www.patreon.com/posts/wheel-of-life-154623364?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link 5 day devotion to self-love - workbook:https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkJoin my Patreon: https://patreon.com/SoulandScissors?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_l Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissorsHello forty Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLigksqyXAnMS-T-sfjwZE7A1n3sE-SViHShop:https://www.fresha.com/store/beauty-by-charlene-store-bxua8lgq?pId=2604457 Download my free 2026 reading list & workbook (Bookstack Diaries): https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5#selflove #selfcare #singlemum #personaldevelopment #40thbirthday #giftingyourself #womensempowerment #healingjourney#selfcelebration #mindset

In January 2025 I was a broken woman — frozen in fear, separated from my son three days a week for the first time, experiencing suicidal ideation and not knowing how to help myself. In this episode I share exactly what I did to start climbing out. From my first call to a mental health nurse, to group therapy, counselling, a psychologist and an occupational therapist — this is the honest step by step of how I got active in my own rescue. Including the worry tree tool my psychologist gave me, the activity audit that changed how I use my time, and why waiting for someone else to save you is time you'll never get back.5 day devotion to self-love - workbook:https://www.patreon.com/posts/5-day-devotion-151272035?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkGuided chakra meditation:https://www.patreon.com/posts/guided-aligning-150650632?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkJoin my Patreon: https://patreon.com/SoulandScissors?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_l Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soulandscissors/ Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@soulandscissorsShop: https://www.fresha.com/store/beauty-by-charlene-store-bxua8lgq?pId=2604457 Download my free 2026 reading list & workbook (Bookstack Diaries): https://soulandscissors.eo.page/rzcc5Download the tools given to me by my psychologist: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1s7r4LF24gemi0ufnUrDPxvBqfDTspfDb?usp=sharingNHS Lothian Wellbeing community hubs: https://policyonline.nhslothian.scot/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/West_Lothian_Community_Wellbeing_Hubs.pdfBook recommendation: Atomic Habits, James Clear#mentalhealth #healingjourney #selfhelp #personaldevelopment #anxiety #depression #singlemum #counselling#womenempowerment #gettingbetter

In this first episode I'm sharing the story of how I left an abusive relationship with a toddler and nowhere to go — and why that terrifying decision turned out to be the best thing I ever did.We talk about why fear keeps us stuck in toxic situations, how the universe rewards courage, and what fortune favouring thebrave actually looks and feels like in real life.
