A bit of a late update this month unfortunately, I've just not had a chance to sit down with the laptop and get this post written. But better late than never, so here we are! February was an absolute stellar month for me in terms of what I was reading - I loved literally every single book I got through and I 100% recommend you all give them a go because I devoured every last word of[...]
That right there is my best friend, Rachael, and she is a superhero. If you follow me on social media you'll have seen her popping up from time to time so she won't be a stranger to you, but when Boots contacted me and asked if I would like to write a post about an amazing mother in my life in time for Mother’s Day later this month (22nd March - don’t forget!), I knew instantly t[...]
Can you believe it? After January feeling like it was never going to end, suddenly it's the 1st March and February has been and gone. It really felt like a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of month. I'm feeling pretty smug with myself, writing a blog post on time for perhaps the first time ever - could this be a sign that I've finally got my shizz together? I'm not going to hold my brea[...]
2020 for me is all about living my best life and part of that is spending more time doing things that make me happy and don't involve me looking at a screen. So, one of the 2020 Goals I set myself was a Goodreads target of completing 40 books this year and, so far, I'm not doing too badly! I'm quite lucky (or unlucky, depending how you look at it) to spend about 2-hours a day sitting on a[...]
I got my cats back in 2006 and, to this day, they’re still the best decision I ever made. At the time I was in the process of refurbishing a house with my ex and my pleas for a puppy were hitting a brick wall, so I took another angle and suggested perhaps we could get a kitten and, as they say, the rest is history. I first saw my boys when they were 1 day old. They’d been b[...]
I'm trying to type this blog post with a cat butt in my face. Devon has decided that after I've spent this morning doing all those little life admin jobs, it's time I looked at him instead of the laptop. So, I best keep this short and sweet and get myself on that sofa for cuddles ASAP! My god I'm grateful to have my pets in my life. So, January has been and gone after seeming to la[...]
Happy New Year! 2020... it feels so futuristic! I'm fairly sure we all thought we'd be zipping around on hoverboards and driving flying cars by now! That said, although we aren't all speaking to each other as holograms and teleporting to work and back every day, it does feel to me that there's magic in the air this year and I'm so excited for the next 12 months! As we got nearer to t[...]
So here we are, the last day of 2019! Half of me wants to say "that flew by" and the other half feels like the beginning of the year was a lifetime away, but there's one thing I'm definite on and that's that 2019 has been a really important year for me in a very low-key way. 2017 was a year of sadness, 2018 was a year of happiness and celebrating life, and 2019 has turned out to be a year[...]
It’s not often you’ll find me posting fashion-focussed posts - I’ve never been particularly comfortable in front of a camera lens and clothing has always been something I use as a barrier; a shield to cover me up and let me blend in with my surroundings. I’ve fought for years not to be seen. So, today’s post is far outside my comfort zone, but I’m doing it! I’m here to show[...]
There's something special about Sundays. A lazy lie-in, reading the news whilst tucked up under the duvet, a cuppa with some breakfast, and the rest of the day ahead to do as much or as little as you want. For me, the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon is a stroll in the fresh air, then stopping off in a little pub somewhere for a meal I haven't had to cook. Bliss! A cou[...]
