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…

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…

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Ft The Selfie Bag *
Over Christmas break and into the New Year we’ve been busy decluttering and organising the spare bedroom. It’s a slow process but we’re hoping to have it ready by the end of the month. 😊 I’m sure I’ll write a before and after post once it’s all finished. During any decluttering session at home, I’m always mindful about any household waste that may come from it. I make sure to…

Reflecting on 2018
I’d like to take the time to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope you have a lovely start to 2019… I’m currently getting over the flu that I caught after Boxing Day. 🙁 But, before the clock strikes midnight, I wanted to reflect on the year I’ve had, both the good and the bad. Side note: I wasn’t sure whether to publish this post when I first started…

Christmas Day 2018
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! This year we spent Christmas Day at my sister’s flat, her fiance cooked us a lovely turkey dinner and I ate too many roast potatoes! 😅 Well, they were put on the plate directly in front of me lol. Dinner was followed by a music themed board game, that I ended up winning(!) and The Jungle Book on TV. It was a good…
