I am by no means a health and fitness guru, I dislike feeling out of breath, love eating and am partial to a glass (or 3) of wine and so it was no surprise that after a summer of pure indulgence I found myself feeling lethargic, unhappy and the most out of shape that I had ever been. I was moving back to London and decided that something desperately needed to change, I felt myself to be on a very slipperyRead More
I can’t quite believe that November is over! I blinked and nearly missed it, but here are my top favourites from this month (Links to all items in the end pictures) 1. Golden Elephant Teapot I love this little guy, he fits 2-3 large cups of tea inside him and looks pretty as a picture on my kitchen shelf or windowsill. Having wanted a new teapot for a whileRead More
Holidays for me have always been about going abroad, laying on a sun lounger and doing as little as possible. A little over a year ago my boyfriend and I took a gamble and booked our only holiday of the year in England, with the intention of getting a very different kind of relaxation. Living on the South coast of the UK meant an extremely long and tedious drive but at least it was done in good company. Looking back IRead More
It isn’t very often that I get this excited about a beauty product. I have suffered from smudgy mascara for as long as I’ve been wearing it. Following beauty guru’s advice, I have purchased countless mascaras from Rimmel to Dior all with the promise of being un-smudgeable whilst still providing length and volume. Each and every time I am let down with transfer from my lashes to my lids and a ‘panda effect’ beneath. I have actually never been brave enoughRead More
My boyfriend is appalling at buying presents. I found this out relatively early into our relationship when he took me to buy my own Christmas presents a week before the big day, as it was just all too confusing for him (despite me having written a very specific list on his request). As a result, I purchased myself some glittery Lush bath bombs and some intensely dark chocolate from Hotel Chocolat and left feeling a bit cheated out of the magicRead More
There are certain recipes that I read and think to myself “that would kill me”, such as macaroni cheese and butter shortbread. When my dad requested that we make parkin cake for our bonfire celebrations I had one of those moments. Not one to be beaten I decided to treat this recipe as though I had a normal digestive system, simply substituting in my usual Vitalite for butter and gluten free versions of the flour and oats. I have to say thatRead More
At this beautiful autumnal time of year, nothing beats the smell of apples and cinnamon. Coming home to the countryside from London left me in no doubt that this was one of my favourite times of the year, as the train sped from city to open pasture I watched as the countryside seemed to change before my eyes into a red and golden paradise. Pulling up at my childhood home the first thing to greet me was my bouncing ball of tawnyRead More
Earlier this year I became one of many to purchase an instant camera, specifically the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 (review soon). They were everywhere! For the first time at festivals along with iPhones in the air, there was also the unmistakable click and whirr of the instant camera, taking Instagram to a whole new level. I love my instant camera but I didn’t love the cost of the film or my poor ability to capture a great shot. I’d say that aroundRead More
