    Home and Style Finds: A Few Birthday Picks

    I always feel guilty shopping for myself. I’m not sure if that’s an adult thing? But when there’s money that could be spent on joint things for the house, holidays or put in to savings, money spent on & Other Stories loveliness or a new notebook seems a bit of a frivolity. It’s nonsense really, we all deserve the odd…

    At Home: Bedroom Updates with JYSK

    Collaborative Post – all products listed at the bottom of the blog post I don’t know about you, but when the flurry of Christmas comes to a close and a new year begins I immediately want to spring clean, and spoil the house to a few new treats. I prefer the latter mind you, spring cleaning always takes WAY longer…

    Looking Forward to February

    Outfit Details: Cardigan c/o Damart | Black Jeans from New Look (old) | Black top from Gap (old) | Boots from Lotus Shoes (old) The tired face emoji (????) has been my preferred method of response to all types of communication this month. I don’t usually opt into the ‘January is the hardest month of the year’ camp; the weather…

    Walk + Eat: Peanut Butter & Oat Cookies

    This is my version of a healthy snack. Nevermind the chocolate, it has oats in it! And besides, the beauty of the Walk + Eat recipes is that I get to walk off these indulgences. These cookies are great for an early morning treat to give you energy for walks. I sometimes switch the chocolate for nuts for added texture…

    Whistle-Stop: London

    Ah, London. I could write a thousand whistle-stop blog posts on this city and still not have experienced everything that this great capital has to offer. But if you find yourself visiting for a short amount of time, and are feeling a little overwhelmed with what to see and do, here’s some suggestions/tips for a 24 hour whistle-stop trip.

    Good Vibes: January

    After last week’s LONGEST WEEK IN HISTORY I thought there was no better time than to list the small victories that have happened during the first week back at work. I’m usually better at January, seeing it as a time to get stuck into projects and starting a fresh, but this year I felt I really needed more time to…

    The 2018 Happy List

    Collaboration with AO.com My aim for 2018 is to do MORE of the things that actually make ME happy. I’ve highlighted ME because when we think of resolutions/goals/intentions (whatever you want to call them) somewhere along the line we end up wanting to do things that others make us feel we need or want.

    The final flurry

    We made it! Another working year done and the holidays await. I might have had a nap as soon as I finished work yesterday! I have to admit it’s been a tad chaotic these last few days so I’m really happy to be finally resting at home knowing our plans for the near future involve walking, eating, napping and watching…

    Walk + Eat: Festive Tiffin

    It may be slightly cheeky to call this recipe ‘festive’ as I’ve merely added fragrant ginger (in the form of biscuits!) and cranberries to the tiffin. But this girl needs something simple, quick and tasty for all the December walking adventures, and ginger and cranberries sprung to mind! The texture of tiffin wins me over every single time. These would…

    20 Ways to Slow Down this Christmas

    It happens at the same time every single year. I get myself in a tizz over everything; the amount of work that needs to be done before the holidays, fitting in meetup’s with friends and family (I’ve already double booked myself twice), buying gifts, juggling pennies, sorting food, and everything else in between. Frantic comes to mind, and we don’t even…

    Gift Ideas for Outdoorsy Folk

    Anyone else waiting on another payday before Christmas? I can’t be the only one who still has the majority of their Christmas presents to buy, surely? I’m not feeling stressed about it though (honest) as I know what I will be buying for people and I know that any online purchases will be delivered in time (my bank will probably stop…
