I’ve always loved playing video games ever since I was little, and fondly remember spinning Sonic the Hedgehog through Green Hill Zone, as a child. I also loved “catching ’em all” on Pokémon Yellow, for my Gameboy Colour. Needless to say my love of video games hasn’t changed much! Thankfully Aaron likes gaming as much as me, so he understands when I get lost in a game, and we often…

Small ways to treat yourself
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…

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…

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…

The Pokemon Tag
Today is Pokémon Day, an annual celebration commemorating the launch of the first Pokémon games in 1996, and to celebrate all things Pokémon. It happens every year on February 27th and various events are put on around the world to celebrate it. I first heard of Pokémon Day when my Pokémon Go game set up their latest community day event, where Pokémon from the Kanto region (where the first games…
