2020 was a difficult year for many people, be it physically, mentally, financially or spiritually. So now that I’ve found my feet firmly in 2021 I am looking forward to the year ahead.

Read MoreDecember is over and we finally find ourselves in a new year after what seemed like one of the longest years of many of our lives. I’m never normally one to wish away time, but I can’t help but feel a little bit guilty about how I wished some of 2020 to pass more quickly. However, upon reflection, despite the current state of the world and despite the struggles 2020 brought me - I am still grateful for the experiences and lessons it brought me too.
Read MoreNovember has gone passed in such a weird blended blur. In fact, I really feel like this entire year has, possibly because of how uncertain this year has been and how I’ve spent majority of it inside my home not seeing anyone but Elliott.

Read MoreThis weekend we decided to get in the autumnal spirit and go to a pumpkin farm to do a little picking. I have never been to a pumpkin farm before, so I didn’t know what to really expect. I suppose I actually just expected a field with a load of pumpkins in, however Tulley’s pumpkin farm was alot more than that.
Read MoreAlthough many people all over the world are travelling again - I am not. I really enjoy travelling and there isn’t much that I desire more than to pack my bags, hop on a plane and sit on a beach somewhere sipping on a cocktail.

I love the cooler months - watching the colours of nature change around me, embracing the warmth of a fireplace whilst being wrapped in a snuggly jumper, and of course ending the year with festivities alongside family and friends. Most people tend to wind down at this time of year yet I start to feel inspired again. Everything makes my mind tick and I get sudden bolts of ideas and creativity.
Read MoreAnd just like that we’re over half way through 2020. You can get alot done in seven months but this year I haven’t. I don’t feel sad about it. I think I’m just enjoying riding the waves and letting life take me to where I need to be. This year has gone passed in a blur of winter storms, being hauled up in our bungalow and working from the spare room. But that’s okay. I’ve actually enjoyed this slower pace of life and really started to appreciate what really matters.

Read MoreI haven’t tried out a new face mask in ages, however I have been dying to since fleshing out my self-care routine in quarantine. So quite a while ago (before lockdown began) I went to a Lush store and asked for some recommendations. I used to love their love lettuce mask, but unfortunately it was discontinued way back in 2017.
