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!). In light of this, I decided to spruce up my bedroom/office and decorate…
Trying to find inventive ways to inject some life into your home décor can be overwhelming at times. We are so saturated in inspiration, from hordes of Pinterest boards to dedicated interior design Instagram accounts (#InteriorDesign has a whopping 1.3 million posts!), that it can often be hard to know where to start. But sometimes just reinventing the most basic…
Drinking water is probably one of the most underrated health hacks in the world, which is confusing because it’s one of the only health hacks that are actually free. There are hundreds of reasons why staying hydrated is a good idea from the fact that it increases your energy levels and brainpower, to the prevention of headaches or migraines, and…
Being interested in history means I like to research the historical background of most things I love - and my favourite alcoholic drink is no exception! It's no secret that gin has become THE drink of the past decade, with countless gin bars and micro distilleries popping up country wide, making a gin loving gal like me utterly spoiled for…
Being under lockdown is giving me the time to try out new recipes at home. I remebered seeing a recipe for Avocado Pasta ages ago on Pinterest and I decided to try out my own version. I first tried out this pasta sauce a short while ago and my boyfriend and I really enjoyed it! So I started to tweak…
There are very few things I love more than fresh flowers and a stunning table centrepiece to host my faves and if you’re anything like me you’ll love it even more if it’s easy and quick to create! I made this DIY grapefruit vase centrepiece for my Animal Fair sponsored post with the incredible Yvonne Ellen so you have her…
In December 2019 one of my closest friends took me to Budapest for a long weekend as a Christmas treat (I know right, what an amazing friend). We arrived at our hotel at lunchtime on the Thursday, absolutely ravenous from having dragged ourselves out of bed at 2:15am that morning to catch the flight. We got the cheapest taxi ever…
Last week I had a week off work and was desperate to jump on the baking/making train that everyone seems to be riding during lockdown.One of the best things about this recipe is the time it takes to make the dough. No proving necessary and it’s super easy for anyone of any cooking ability. I googled a few recipes and…
Our first lockdown family birthday took place this week, so we had to very much make do with what was available to us when preparing the celebrations. The mail is understandably much slower at the moment, so we couldn’t guarantee my dad’s gifts would arrive in time and our normal birthday favourite of Lebanese takeout from a local restaurant wasn’t…
I love everything about an Aperol Spritz don’t you? The taste, the colour and the smell of the Amalfi Coast in a glass! Elderflower cordial adds a wonderfully sweet, floral twist to the classic Aperol Spritz cocktail which I think really balances the slightly bitter undertones of the Aperol. This cocktail, which I made for my Animal Fair Tablescape with Yvonne…
