I’ve been working on my daily routines this past year including improve my sleep schedule and morning routine. I have also been making an effort to eat healthier and exercise more. In the Summer months I threw on my work out gear and went for a run around our neighbourhood or made use of outdoor gyms. I also completed my first 5km race and a muddy obstacle race for charity.…

Edinburgh & The Castle on the Hill
After our trip to Alnwick, Ryan and I continued our road trip up to Scotland and our next destination – Edinburgh. We spent 1 and a half days in the city and another at Edinburgh Zoo (post on that to follow!). I got very excited when I saw the “border crossing” layby and insisted we pull over to take some photos. There’s also a layby the other side for those…

The Halloween Tag
Happy Halloween! Tonight I’m celebrating by doing the Halloween tag while donning some Ghostbusters pyjama bottoms and watching some Halloween themed films with my family (and likely some horror films too). I’m hoping we’ll see some trick or treaters as well. If you didn’t know by now Halloween is my favourite holiday, seconded by Christmas. When we were little my sister and I went trick or treating around our village…

Alnwick Castle and Gardens
Ryan and I have just gotten home from our road trip through part of England and Scotland. It was a long drive but I’m happy we did it instead of using public transport, we came across some picturesque towns and villages. Our holiday started with a 6 and a half hour drive up the Fosseway, an old Roman road connecting Exeter to Lincoln . According to our Google Map route…

Relax and Unwind | Adult colouring ft Lady Lucas *
How do you like to relax and unwind? Personally I love to relax and unwind with an adult colouring book or by doing some oragami. Both are very theraputic and with the nights getting longer it’s the perfect time to do more indoor activities like these. Not only are they relaxing and theraputic I also get to be creative. 🎨 So when Ashley of Lady Lucas contacted me to review…

Enter the workplace “toolkit”, a handful of bits and bobs – desk drawer essentials – that will help you tackle those everyday annoyances at the office. Enabling you to tackle your day but also help out your colleagues as well. Call me over prepared but I’d rather have these items sitting in my desk drawer than not having them when…

Halloween decorations for every budget
Halloween is on its way! 🎃💛 Which, if you didn’t know already, is my favourite holiday. I love when the shops start putting their Halloween ranges out! Even more so if they do it before putting out their Christmas ranges. 😉 Haha. We always decorate the house for Halloween, ever since my sister and I were children. We had both indoor and outdoor decorations, a carved pumpkin (of course) and…

Morning routines and becoming an early riser 🐦
Last month I talked about working on my evening and bedtime routines to help with my sleeping patterns and get a better nights sleep. One of the things I mentioned was getting up at the same time each day and developing a morning routine, it’s been hard going, especially after last weekend’s Monster Race! My muscles are so sore! I am definitely not a morning person but I am taking…

Post Race Thoughts From My First Monster Race
“If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl. If you can’t crawl, find someone to carry you”. – Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly. In July I signed up for the Winter Monster Race in Wiltshire with some of my colleagues, where we raised money for a local children’s charity: Cirencester Opportunity Group who support children with physical and learning disabilities (you can sponsor us here, if you want to).…
