This past weekend my parents, Aaron and I headed down to the Bovington Tank Museum (near Weymouth), for their annual Tank Fest event, where we had the great opportunity to learn a little more about military history. With a day full of displays, armoured vehicles and reenactments. If there’s one thing Tank Fest excels at it’s the arena displays which are always the highlight of the day for me. Even…

Getting your tragus pierced
I’ve had my tragus pierced since I was 19 (so roughly 11 years ago now), and I still have people ask questions about it. Especially this time of year when I wear my hair up or pulled back so my ears are showing! They’ll ask when I got it done and where, whether it hurt and how to take care of it., so I thought I’d talk about my experience…

Party planning for any occassion *
AD | At my 9-5 job I’m part of an associate engagement team, and one of our main responsibilities is planning social events for our staff. But to be honest, that’s not where my love of party planning first began. Credit has to go to my dad here for all the Halloween party planning we did when I was little.

Decluttering your home before a move

I had to make some decisions – what to keep, what to donate and what to put into storage. Decluttering your home (especially before a move) can be overwhelming so I started with the items I…

Tips for a Good Night’s Sleep | Guest Post
AD | I’ve been working more and more on my evening routines over the years and, although it’s not perfect yet, I feel I’ve made significant progress. Having also implemented some self-care practices, such as my weekly Wednesday bubble baths. So when Clara emailed me asking if she could write a guest post on getting a better night’s sleep, which is something I really struggle with, I was more than…

Spending 48 hours in London
After a busy few days in Plymouth, and only one day actually spent at home(!), Aaron and I decided to hop on the National Express coach to spend a couple of days in London. There’s so much to see and do in the city, which is just one of the reasons why it’s one of my favourites to visit in the UK. I never fail to find something new every…
