Welcome to a whole new blog series! Eating on a budget. As it happens I’ve taken a huge leap of faith and have just agreed a 12 month let on a property in London, started an internship and left my student days behind me. This is all such exciting news, but with no more student loan, and the bank of mum and dad drying up it’s time to tighten the belt and start saving for the important things in life.Read More
Today was the first day of my internship. An internship that I so hope will turn into my career. I awoke with butterflies in my stomach, so eager to make a good impression and fearful that I wouldn’t live up to all that my employers had hoped for. As I set out across Tufnell Park for the bus stop I noticed a golden glint from amongst the grass. There laid between the daisies was a pound coin. “see a pennyRead More
Short city breaks are gaining popularity and Madrid is the perfect city to visit. Just a short plane ride from the UK you can be here in 2 hours, leaving you plenty of time to see the sites, soak up the ambience and enjoy the food! Arriving in Madrid Aiport is easy as pie, the new terminal buildings make it one of the most futuristic airports I’ve ever visited, with beautiful wooden ceilings and baggage carousels that look as thoughRead More
Nestled next to the Prado Museum is this beautiful area of tranquillity, a welcome break from the bustling city, the dappled shade providing the perfect environment to escape the midday heat. With over 8 hectares to explore you can spend hours here, bring a book and relax on one of the many benches, or a picnic to enjoy in the shade of the wonderful trees. The paths are clearly signposted to help you get around, and the two main greenhousesRead More
I know, the title seems like a pretty rich statement coming from a blogger who spends a vast proportion of their time on the internet. However, even the most internet obsessed among us can benefit from taking some time away from the ‘world wide web’ and here’s why. A few days ago I flew back from a wonderful week in Mexico, the first few days I tried to get my camera out, pester my boyfriend to take pictures of me to showRead More
I’ll start off by saying that this isn’t a sponsored post, I just have a serious love affair with ASOS that keeps me coming back again and again and has pretty much replaced my high street shopping in favour of the online world. Free Returns – this is at the top of my list and is something I wish every brand could get with. It honestly is probably my biggest deciding factor when I’m choosing to purchase something, especially spontaneously.Read More
I’ve never considered myself to be a fashionista, I’ll take comfy over stylish any day and look at some of the ‘fashion’ trends with a sense of bemusement (transparent plastic clothing I’m looking right at you!). The off the shoulder Bardot trend, however, is one that I have whole heartedly been adoring. Exposing the shoulders and collar bones adds instant femininity, highlighting the gentle contours of the upper body, often hidden under raised necklines and thick straps. Choosing a Bardot withRead More
This is a re-post because now I’ve got a code for you all! I finally gave in. I’ve seen these beautiful marble creations on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter for a while now and have visited the Coconut Lane website on numerous occasions but Mr Bank Balance has always said no. However, when a recent promotion popped up on my screen offering 50% off the entire range, I could no longer resist. Despite there being so many items that could easilyRead More
