I was so thrilled to see my Twitter notifications light up the other week and discover that the lovely Jade had nominated me for a Liebster Award. If you've not heard of it, the award is a great way to find new or small blogs and spread some of the blogging love whilst getting to know members of this fab community. Here are the basic rules: Answer the 11 questions that your nominator has asked…
I thought I'd introduce a new feature, I am always passing on recommendations to my friends about things to watch, see and buy so I thought why not share the love here too? So here's a little list of the things I've been loving this month. To Listen to: This month I've been listening to lots of chilled music and I've become completely obsessed with Kishi Bashi. Personal faves include M'lover, Carry on Phenomenon and…
I don't know about you but a lot of the goals I set for myself this year revolved around forming and keeping habits, especially ones that would improve my productivity. As I've mentioned before I'm a total night owl who feels most creative and inspired right before bed, but I wanted to try and see if I could turn myself into one of these mythical morning people. That's where The Morning Sidekick Journal came in.…
As I said in my last post a big reason for my absence from this little corner of the interwebs was because I was moving. I now live in a beautiful, bright Georgian Townhouse with huge sash windows and tonnes of natural light. We're all settled in now but here's how it looked the day we signed our contract and got our keys. I can't wait to share finished room tours! This is the stained…
Hello everyone, I'm back with another free printable brush lettering guide. This Maya Angelou quote seems very appropriate for how I'm feeling after taking a mini-blogging break. I really do feel full of ideas and inspiration and with the long sunny evenings I'm getting more and more bursts of creativity. I'm a big Maya Angelou fan and I love this quote, so when Random Olive offered to create a free printable brush letter practice guide…
Hello again! Wow it's been nearly 2 months since I last posted! Sorry for the prolonged and unexplained absence but I was away for good reasons. I moved house! That's right, I moved out of my cosy bachelorette pad into a princess flat with one of my besties. Unfortunately the internet didn't move with me which is why it's taken me so long to get back online. I realise that coffee shops with wifi exist…
So it appears that despite the evenings slowly getting lighter (yay!) we're in the midst of another freezing cold snap, at least here in the South West anyway. All this cold, windy weather is playing havoc with my skin so I thought I'd show you some current skincare products I'm loving. These beauties all give my skin the extra nourishment it needs until Spring returns. My lovely Dad and his partner gifted me the incredible M&S…
Well it’s that time of year again folks! With it being a brand new year and a fresh new start I decided to leave my old green bullet journal with a few spare blank pages and set up a brand new yellow one for 2017. Here’s a peek at my initial spreads. If you are thinking about setting up your own bullet journal then this post goes through setting up and creating spreads in a…
I know I'm way behind with this post, it's been a month full of Birthdays for me - mine's on Saturday ah - so I have been a bit preoccupied. However, I always think it's good to take some time to note some rough goals for the year ahead. I don't like new years resolutions that are overly restrictive, I think we all know that those are harder to stick to. Instead I like…
Happy New Year dear readers! I took a pretty long blog and social media break over the festive season and I really needed it. After a pretty tough and tiring year both personally, professionally and of course on a much wider scale it was nice to spend the season with people I loved, eating good food, drinking too much and sharing our hopes that 2017 has just got to be better. I know it's cheesy…
