Extreme Day Trip: Paris Edition
At the end of February, just a couple of days after my birthday, I finally ticked something off my list that I’ve been talking about for years. A day trip to Paris. We took the Eurostar, which was a first for me. I had built it up in my head as something that might be…

Extreme Day Trip: Milan Edition
On Wednesday I flew to Milan for the day with a friend. Admittedly, day-trips via plane aren’t the most environmentally friendly, but it had been 14 years since I last flew, so I like to think my carbon footprint is fairly low. In any case, the day turned out brilliant. I was up at 4:30 am…

Making 2026 Birthday Year!
February is going to be a big month for me, I’m turning 40. And rather than treating it as just another birthday, I’ve decided to make this a proper Birthday Year. Let’s be honest: girls don’t just have a birthday, they have a birthday week, or even a birthday month. Drag it out for as…

Wilderness Reserve

Book Review: Piece of My Heart by Penelope Tree
If I’m picking up a book you can pretty much guarantee that it will be a thriller. However I love high fashion and I have to say I was intrigued by the semi-autobiographical nature of Piece of My Heart. I devoured the book in no time at all and found myself wondering who each character…

Should Cancel Culture Be Cancelled?
Cancel culture seems to have been around for a while now. Cancelling someone, or cancel culture, is essentially boycotting a person or brand that has said or done something questionable or controversial. You may also hear the phrase to “callout” a person for the same reasons. Does It Work? Generally I think that cancel culture should…

2020: The Year Of Change
I wasn’t sure whether to write this post or not, particularly as so many people have bigger problems. However, everyone’s feelings are valid. We should be able to talk about what we’re feeling and experiencing without judgement. I’m sure I’m not the only one that has mixed feelings about 2020. For me 2020 was going…

Should Influencers Be Posting Hauls During Isolation?
I feel like this might be a bit of a controversial topic. Obviously we are all very aware that we are currently isolating to prevent the spread of Covid-19. I won’t go into any detail about it because I’m not an expert, and that isn’t why you’re here. I keep seeing all over social media,…

Feeling appreciative during lockdown is a sponsored post with Three Counties. I have been isolating for over four weeks now and to be honest I’m actually quite enjoying myself. You would think that as someone who lives alone (aside from Missy the cat) I would hate it but I don’t feel lonely at all. I…
