Hi Housemates, Hope you’re well and have all had a good week? I’ve felt a bit “meh” this week. Not sure if it’s the weather, or just an accumulation of everything, but it’s all felt a bit much lately. If you’re feeling the same, this week’s blog is full of some of my latest scrummy
Hi Housemates, Hope you’re well and have all had a good week? So, it’s Week 6 of the blog, and I think it’s time for a little change up… My “Spend” category so far has been determined by a product over £100, but I’ve been finding SO many purchases in that £10-£100 market that I’m
As an avid meat eater, the thought of swapping out meat products for vegan alternatives has always made me recoil. Mainly because, back in the early 2000s when meat free stuff had just started to hit the supermarket shelves, I decided to try Quorn chicken. Now, I am a huge lover of chicken, so this

However, to simply sum it up it is an aesthetic that romanticizes a more traditional way of life with nature at its heart. The common themes include plants, animals, sustainability, rural living and nature. Ways you can
Hi Housemates, Hope you’re well and have all had a good week? I’ve been busy beavering away on magazine deadlines this week, but we did manage to sneak off for another spontaneous trip back down to Devon to make the most of this gorgeous weather. As I’ve mentioned, the ethos behind this blog is to
There are a few summer birthdays in our family (mine included!), and warm, sunny birthday celebrations call for light and fruity cakes that remind you of holidays! One particularly successful recipe that I tried out recently was a piña colada cake that went down a treat for Mum’s birthday. A light and fluffy coconut sponge,
Hi Housemates (is that the collective noun for a group of House 21 bloggers?!), and welcome to a brand-new feature! I hope that this will be a regular thing, so I better introduce myself – I’m Charlotte, I’m 25, and live in Warwickshire. By day, I’m a journalist, and in my free time I can
This pandemic has brought with it many things, but one thing that has affected us all is: the global lockdown. With most of us living the #laptoplife and working from home, many people have found themselves demotivated and uninspired because of the space around them (myself included!).
