In lockdown 3.0, we've gone for comfort. My days now consist of cosy loungewear and don't think I could tell you the last time I wore a proper underwired bra. I'm all in favour of a bralette, which have come a long way since their introduction. What used to be reserved for smaller chested ladies, [...]
The sun came out this weekend and you could've taken your jacket off from the first time since September and it was a welcome reminder for all that brighter days are coming - hopefully figuratively and literally. If you're in to skincare and frequently use acid products, you may be familiar with pink face that [...]
Since the country has been grounded for the third time, 'what have you been watching?' seems to come up in conversation with the limited human interaction we are allowed. Whether you're bored, need to unwind or just escape for a while, it's hard to imagine a world when Netflix wasn't a thing. Last month I [...]

I am normally super prepared and have a gift organised early in the year, so thought I'd share a few suggestions to give you some inspiration. I appreciate not everyone is as lucky as myself [...]

Working from home is my new normal, for the foreseeable and I mentioned in my post Let's Talk About... Working From Home that I don't think we'll ever go back to a five day working week in the office. I went from no working from home, to blended working from home, to fully working from [...]

My reading goal for 2021 is to read fifty books because I feel so much better when I'm in a good reading routine and I find goals really helpful to keep me on track. This month I've read a variety from fiction, YA fiction and biographies and that is my reading style. Since bookshops have [...]
Philosophy Pure Grace Fragrance This light floral scent smells so fresh, modern and clean, like stepping fresh out of the shower but with a distinctive note of leafy greens. It's incredibly distinctive and luxurious. It's not too overbearing so is a perfect summer or workwear fragrance. I equally love it on a crisp winter morning. [...]
There's not much I won't buy online. From clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery, homeware, furniture, you name it. I don't have the same anxiety about 'seeing it' in real life that others have, until it comes to beauty products. Foundations, lipsticks, even eye shadow palettes cause me so much stress when I need to buy them [...]
Rather than 'what have you been up to?' I'm now asking, 'What have you been watching?' With not much to do other than watch TV on cold and snowy evenings, I'm not the only one who's been watching more Netflix than previously. I sometimes struggle to find things to watch, so find posts like this [...]
