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.…

Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail
If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I recently visited the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail. A four and a half mile walk through the woods sculpture spotting. Thankfully the weather held up and we only had a very short sprinkle of rain. As this was a spur of the moment decision we hadn’t packed lunch or water but luckily there is a cafe adjacent to the carpark. Unfortunately…

Everyday beauty essentials
I’m not a beauty blogger by any means but I do spend a lot of my reading time on beauty blogs and I admire the work they put into their posts. One thing I have noticed however is a lot of beauty bloggers don’t talk about the everyday items. The beauty essentials that you use on a regular basis, you’re favourites you purchase over and over again. Today I’m going…

A week in Paphos, Cyprus
Paphos was the first time I travelled on a plane; my family and I spent a week in the city and it’s still one of my favourite holidays to date., so I thought I’d talk about about my experience, from dealing with the heat to flying for the first time and home sickness. A week in Pahpos, Cyprus We travelled from London to Paphos back in October of 2005 during…

Vegan & Beauty treats Ft Glow Steady
Back in September I entered Glow Steady’s first year favourites giveaway, and I won! 😊 This is the first giveaway I’ve won so I was pretty excited when Sophie contacted me for my address. My prize arrived at the end of November full of vegan and beauty treats that I wanted to share with you. I love how Sophie packed the individual items in white starry paper. It was like…
