I am forever looking for products that are more environmentally friendly, from the packaging to the ingredients. If I can lessen my impact, I will. When Seventh Generation got in touch, I was more than happy to try out their products – this isn’t a sponsored ad – I was just sent various bits to […]

It happens. We change and grow as people, we change our minds, our style and our life choices. Change is the one thing that is inevitable. Is it just me, or is it much more pronounced and pressing as the seasons change? Maybe we’re just much more aware of it?

The month that was…We’re truly into Autumn which is just madness frankly! I thought it might be fun to share the highs, lows and lessons learnt.

We’re delving into the oddities of my brain again. Something that has been swirling lately, is the distinct lack of curiosity that seems to be enveloping the world around us. Maybe it’s just my perception. The longer I work in the world of tech, from dev to support to tester and now digital marketing and […]

OK, I felt like that had to be said out loud. I sometimes want to shout it a bit. We all see it on various social platforms, the latest XYZ thing. I get it, I most definitely have been sucked into the hype of new things in the past. I probably will in the future. […]

OK, so this clearly isn’t the blogger meetup, but I’m going to warn you now, I may not have photos of the actual bloggers I met. Just lots of the Urban Jungle that we went to for brunch. I am clearly a pretend blogger. Someone take my badge away. This photo was taken on Saturday […]

I was recently catching up with Michelle from Life Outside London’s blog, in particular, her Wonderful Wednesday post. I really enjoyed catching up on her life. I have been doing monthly updates – but I’ve not done one since my May Monthly Catch Up. So what’s my point? Well, I’m going to start doing weekly […]

It’s been a few months now since we moved to the wilds of Suffolk after 10 years in Brighton. I was born and bred in the countryside, so this felt like coming home. I’m aware that there is a fairytale like thought about what life is like when you move to the countryside, so I […]

So we’re back in England now for a few weeks, it took about a week to settle and I had jet lag a few days after we arrived – bit annoying really! We’re settling back to “normal” life. In saying that, we’re currently staying with Simon’s mum until we find our feet – Simon is […]

Lately I’ve been caught up in either work, moving out of the flat, or getting our travels organised. This has meant my blogging has taken a bit of a side line…plus I feel like a bit of a whirling dervish, except much less graceful. So I thought it would be nice to sit down, listen […]

January can seem like a painfully long month, most of us got paid before Christmas and it’s often 5 weeks between paydays, so it’s important to make those funds stretch. So how can we cheer up a dreary January? Come up with new ways to have fun, or at least remember there are other options […]

I doubt I’m alone in travelling at Christmas. I’ve been visiting family – either mine or my husband’s for about 17years…wow that seems like a long time, surely I’m not that old?! I moved out at 18 and never moved back in, I’ll let you do the maths there. So the flights and car […]

OK so this is a hard one to write. I’ve done this as a bit of a follow up to my SAD Tips post, it came to my attention that it may have come across as a bit flippant etc, which was not my intention, it’s just one of my many coping mechanisms. Right, I’m […]

I know I’m not alone on this front, the joy of the darker weather and shorter days. I find myself struggling to get out of bed, complete my to-do lists and generally just be human. Please note, I am very aware of how serious this situation can get and if you need to speak to […]

This is something that is getting chatted about quite a bit recently, it is the season for blogger and youtuber events and lots of folks aren’t a fan of going by themselves. To be fair, I didn’t used to be either, I may have even bailed on the odd one or two…I dreaded going alone, […]

So in the last few days I’ve had a mini meltdown of sorts. So all the weeping, self doubt and general need to hide under a stone. I didn’t want to keep moving forward with my start up, I didn’t know enough, there are people doing it better…all sorts of negative thoughts spinning around my […]

Today we’re going to talk about stereotypes. I wanted to keep it short and sweet. Sometimes we are expected to live up to certain life expectations & stereotypes. Ah, you’re in your 20s, you should be out partying and living up life. Sweet! …Now you’re in your 30s, shouldn’t you have children by now? Are […]

As I’m sure you know, I’ve been working flat out in order to try and get my business in a more ready state. Unsurprisingly I’ve struggled a bit with focusing. So I’ve had to make a concerted effort to avoid procastinating. I highly doubt I’m alone on this front. Lots of work to do, but […]
