So, I’m just going to hit out with what is likely a very unpopular opinion: I don’t like summer. Or perhaps I should say, summer doesn’t like me. It could just be that I’m a stereotypical Scot, but when the temperatures surpass 20℃ I enter a whole new realm of hell: my thick hair constantly
This post is particularly relevant to me because it’s something I’m often in complete conflict over. One day my Instagram will be the positive motivational place I want it to be, other days it’ll be the standard day to day grind. It will even be a little woeful at times in my bid to keep
Turning 30 (the big 3-0) is often something that’s dreaded by so many. Transitioning a whole decade older overnight is definitely a milestone, but it’s one I’d actually been really looking forward to. Going from your twenties to your thirties is such an emotionally huge upheaval, but today I’m here to reassure you that turning
When Rhys and I first started planning our wedding, phrases like, ‘no fuss’, ‘laid back’ and ‘nothing-too-stuffy’ were bandied around hap-hazard, and once we abandoned the black hole that is Pinterest, things fell into place with relative ease.

And so it began. What you may ask? Writing. Writing began. It all started when I decided to open a public Instagram account and share my passion for art, history, culture and travelling with fellow like-minded people and why not just say it, the world! I actually did not know that I had it in
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
I can’t pinpoint when exactly I decided to look into ‘resilience’ as a concept. What I do know is that once I did, I would spend hours Googling it, looking up books, articles, academic papers and anything else I could find about it. Resilience is “the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties”, according to the
Where should this story begin, of my lockdown fairy-tale? I could spend hours rehashing the mishaps, mistakes, weird but not wonderful dating world that I had endured prior to March 2020. However, we all have our own anecdotes, some worse than others.. some funny, others just downright disheartening. They say you have to kiss a
