My New Wardrobe Staples From Femme Luxe

{AD-GIFTED}

Femme Luxe A Penny For Them

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[...]

Meat-Free Sunday Lunch at Potters Arms Cookhouse and Pub, Harlow Essex

{AD-REVIEW}

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[...]

My First Escape Room – Poppa Plock’s Wonky Workshop by Handmade Mysteries {AD-REVIEW}

I've watched a lot of horror films - three of which have been about Escape Rooms. All of those began with a random invitation to the main character, asking them to come down and try their skills against the games master. So, when I opened my email a few weeks ago to find a random invitation to try out an Escape Room, for a moment my brain stuttered as fiction collided with reality. Then, I[...]

Guess Who’s Back, Back Again…

(it’s me)

Well, hello there, hi, howdy! I'm back! I'll be honest, when I wrote my last post saying I was going to be taking a break from blogging to focus on my offline life for a little while, I wasn't 100% sure if I would be back. In fact, I was definitely leaning more towards the never-coming-back side of things. But, the time away has done me the world of good and I'm so excited to pi[...]

Dear Diary…

A Short Break (We’re Moving House!)

It's been a couple of months since my last "Dear Diary..." life update post and, somehow, things have been simultaneously quite quiet and really eventful at the same time. I think, realistically, I'm not going to be able to blog much in the next month or so as my free time is going to spent focussing on things that need to be done offline. Namely, we have to pack up our entire house and mo[...]

Celebrating Shakespeare Day (& Pushing My Boundaries) With Viking {AD-GIFTED}

This post contains gifted items Happy Shakespeare Day everyone! Without a doubt one of the most important figures in both British history and in worldwide literary history, on the 23rd April every year he's celebrated, and today I'm working with Viking to celebrate him in my very own way. I have some really strong memories attached to Shakespeare, all in very different ways. I can still[...]

Kitting Out The Boyf: High Quality & Low Prices With Samuel Windsor {AD}

This is a sponsored post. Contains gifted items.   There has been a lot going on in my life recently. Actually, there's been a lot going on in my life for the past 2 years or so - I feel like I need my very own cliff-hanger score, like the duff-duff-duffs at the end of Eastenders. Sometimes it has felt like I've been stumbling from one stress to the next, with barely a moment to b[...]

My Recent Reads

January & February 2019

This post includes affiliate links As I’ve mentioned in a few of my posts recently, at the beginning of the year I decided that I wanted to take more time out for reading. It’s such a good way of switching off and clearing the mind, and I wanted to stop wasting so much time online scrolling social media endlessly. So, I set myself a Goodreads challenge - albeit a slightly ambitious one[...]

Dear Diary… February 2019: Recovery, Mindfulness and An Anniversary

Happy March everyone! Spring doesn’t arrive for another few weeks but with the way the weather has been recently you would think it was already here! (Not that I’ve any idea what the weather is like as I’m still stuck indoors). That said, as lovely as it is to have clear blue skies, a gentle breeze and the temperature in the high-teens and early-twenties, I can’t help but be slight[...]

Smashing Preconceptions & Getting Kitted Out With Jacamo {AD-GIFTED}

Jacamo very kindly sent us these items free of charge in return for our thoughts. All opinions are, as always, 100% honest and our own.   Isn’t it strange how you can sometimes find yourself with a preconception of what a brand, place or event is and then find out that you had it wrong all along? Well, that’s exactly what’s happened to me, having had the opportunity to colla[...]
