Before moving out of my flat I knew I needed to declutter my belongings; one because I was moving from a flat to a single bedroom, and two because I find owning less ‘stuff’ makes me feel less anxious or overwhelmed. Does anyone else find that or is it just me? So after decluttering and organising my jewellery collection, I decided the next item should be my makeup collection, especially…

Thames and Severn Canal Path, Sapperton
There’s nothing I love more than a long walk in the countryside; I find it’s a great way for me to clear my mind while getting some excercise. I’ve already been on a hike this year and for plenty of walks around Arboretums and gardens, which is something I hope to do more of as the weather gets warmer. Thankfully Aaron shares my love of nature walks, so last weekend…

Unconventional movies to watch this Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone or, if you don’t celebrate it, Happy Thursday! One day closer to the weekend. 😊 Personally it’s never been a holiday I’ve put much time into, but when Aaron suggested we have a movie night in watching horror movies, I couldn’t say no. I’ll find any excuse to watch a horror movie to be honest, haha. So without further ado, here’s my list of unconventional movies…

Ideas to help improve mental health
In last month’s #beechat, guest hosted by the lovely Duncan of Tales of a Bearded Man, we talked about the January Blues and how we try to combat them. There were many great ideas to help improve your mental health brought up and it got me thinking about my own mental wellbeing. I think it’s safe to say we all have bad days, however for those who struggle with their…

Favourite TV shows to binge watch
A cosy night in with Netflix or Sky box sets, and some snacks (can’t forget snacks!), is one of my favourite ways to unwind after a stressful day. Whether that’s discovering a new TV show or watching one of my favourites (Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my go to when I need cheering up). I love getting invested in the lives and storylines of various characters. Maybe a little too…

Weekly Self Care Routine
At the end of last year I wrote about how I wanted to go into 2019 focusing more on myself, to discover who I am again and be more open about how I’m feeling and my mental health. My main goal this past month has been introducing more self care into my daily and weekly routines, which I’d like to share with you. 😊 First, what is self care? To…

Favourite things to do on a snowy day
The first snow fall of the season always seems so magical to me. It reminds of childhood snow days where we’d build snowmen, make snow angels and have a snowball fight with our friends. Even as an adult I enjoy watching the snowfall from my office window and feeling childlike excitement when it settles on the ground. I don’t like it so much when I have to drive home in…

The Ultimate Harry Potter tag
With ITV playing all the Harry Potter movies recently it’s definitely rekindled my love of the franchise, and all things magical. So much so that I hunted down a Harry Potter tag to answer. 😅 The one I found was The Ultimate Harry Potter tag on fellwo Ravenclaw Michelle’s blog A Geek Girls Guide (you can read her answers here). The questions are varied which is great and I discovered…

Westonbirt Arboretum
Today Aaron and I took a walk around Westonbirt Arboretum, which is one of my favourite places to go for a nature walk, and that’s not just because it’s a short, 20 minute drive away. The Arboretum is a nature lovers dream with a wide range of trees and shrubbery, from most corners of the globe. I’ve been lucky enough to see the Giant Redwood (USA) and the Japanese maple.…
