Living in London has opened up a whole new world to me, a world of endless exploration, culture and life. I have long loved my home in the country surrounded by rolling fields, sheep and winding lanes but as I’ve grown I have felt a longing for something more, something new and exciting. I’ve been fortunate enough to live in a beautiful part of North London, just a stop on the tube away from the vibrant Camden Town. Worlds apart fromRead More
I’ve always envied the runner, breezing past me on a packed London pavement, their rucksack bouncing upon their back, breath heavy, lycra sweaty. What an exhilarating way to travel, to see the world and not to mention keep the heart healthy. In comparison I’ve always felt somewhat heavy like my legs don’t move in that way, my lungs burn after only the shortest of distance and I’m left gasping, cursing my long stubborn limbs, convinced I’m just not the body typeRead More
I wouldn’t say that I’m your traditional twenty-something student, I’ve never found night clubs entertaining, can think of nothing worse than drinking myself paralytic on a weekly basis and just don’t seem to fit the party animal stereotype that so often describes my generation. Instead, of an evening, you’ll find me baking with a glass of red in hand or enjoying an early night snuggled in a bed full of pillows. For days out I’m bowled over by beautiful gardens,Read More
I still remember the feeling of getting my first car, a little old Ford KA, I sat in it playing CD’s, pretending to be cruising down our winding country lanes with my window down and hair blowing in the wind. A fair few years have passed since then and I’ve learnt a lot of lessons along the way, one of the most important ones was taught to me by my dad, the day I passed my test. Before he’d letRead More
When I first started my blog I had no idea of the welcoming community that awaited me and it has been an absolute breath of fresh air. I’ve been nominated for this award by the amazing Lucy Connolly over at Skinny Vanilla so be sure to check her out if you’re looking for some engaging content! Now I’m not pretending that I’m winning any big gold trophy here, this award is for recognising, discovering and interacting with other members of theRead More
There’s something about the sea, the raw power of it, the way the waves break against the shore and the sun reflects off of the oscillating surface. I fall in love with it again and again and I think that I will do forever. As April had brought with it the warming rays of the sun there was no better place for a Sunday walk than the cliffs in Eastbourne. Parking my car at the base of the hill I hikedRead More
As someone who is dairy free I’ve really struggled to find protein powders that are both free from dairy AND stevia. ‘But what’s wrong with stevia?’ I hear you say, well for some reason my body doesn’t like it and I get the most horrendous headaches and then stomach pains. The majority of natural plant based protein powders out there use stevia as a sweetener as it is classed as a healthier alternative to sugar. Whilst searching for my mythicalRead More
I love a bath. Like, really love a bath so whenever lush has a new seasonal range I do my little happy dance and head on down for a bit of retail therapy. I’m fortunate enough to have the Oxford Street store as my local, and as soon as I step through those heavenly scented doors I’m like a kid in a candy shop. I could have done some serious damage but decided to restrain myself to four products andRead More
