Mum of two, Francesca, was getting increasingly frustrated at the constant press stories highlighting the increase in mental health problems in young people. She became fascinated by the research being done into happiness and the simple habits like gratitude, mindfulness and kindness that have a meaningful impact on our wellbeing. As a keen journaler herself, she wanted to bring all this together into a beautiful product that her own children would enjoying using every day and so the HappySelf Journal was born.
