In my Weight Watchers meeting last week we talked about small ways to treat yourself. This could be when you reach your goal weight or a mini goal such as upping your excercise or drinking more water. Or simply because you deserve it! Of course these were mostly non food related but it got me thinking of ways I could treat myself, because it’s completely OK to do so, and…

My indoor plant collection
One of the things I miss about living in my own place is having my own garden to play with. It may sound strange but I love garden centres and used to enjoy planting new purchases in my garden, and decorating it with garden ornaments. Since living back with my parents I have more of an indoor plant collection to take care of, but of course I also enjoy helping…

Sightseeing in Bristol ft. Paper Bag Co *
GIFTED | Living in The Cotswolds I have my fair share of cities to choose from for a shopping trip or a bit of sightseeing. From Bath to Oxford and Bristol to Cardiff, I really am spoilt choice. So when I heard the creators of The Selfie Bag (Cotton Bag Co / Paper Bag Co) had created a local bag range, I jumped at the chance to sample one. The…

Favourite things to do in Leeds | Guest Post
As the weather gets warmer I find myself taking more day trips and, in the Summer months, weekends away. I enjoy staycations and exploring my “own back yard”, especially places in the UK I haven’t visited yet. There’s so much to see and do from big cities to small seaside towns. Today the lovely Jess is talking about her favourite things to do in her hometown of Leeds. Jess is…

Day Hiking Essentials
If you had told me five years ago that I’d enjoy hiking, I wouldn’t have believed you. I was never an outdoorsy type, sure I enjoyed short walks around my home town and the surrounding villages, but longer walks or hiking didn’t seem appealing to me. That was until my first mountain hike, it was tough(!) but the feeling I had once we all reached the top was amazing. Since…
