Although I wouldn’t say that I have had a typical January - it’s been pretty goood. For most people January is about resetting, getting a fresh start and working on goals. However, for a while I’ve been treating January like most months - I don’t need to reset, unlearn behaviours, set outlandish goals or put undue pressure on myself. I have been enjoying the slow start to the new year and smelling all of the flowers along the way.
Read MoreWhen it comes to life changing activities, it’s the hobbies that we take on day by day that allows us a chance to live a little differently. Hobbies are the daily activities that we do outside of working and spending time with family. They’re the things that we do just for ourselves, and they can make a huge difference to the way in which we feel about our lives.
Read MoreJanuary is in full swing and so are the “new year, new me” campaigns. If you know me then you probably already know why I am really against these kind of campaigns. However, I’m not here today to talk about these. I am talking about a new health and wellness mantra filling all our social feeds on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. I am talking about “that girl”.
Read MoreChances are you’ve seen van life influencers across social media lately. Some call their way of living “the new rich” and will show videos of themselves pulled up, enjoying themselves in beautiful locations that most people don’t get to spend all too much time in outside of vacations. Woodland, beaches, mountain bases - the list goes on and on. But what is van life and is this a type of lifestyle that could actually suit you?
Read MoreThe Bottalack mines in Cornwall was one of the most surprising places I had been when I went to Cornwall in autumn late last year. Originally I wanted to go to the mines because they had been featured quite a bit in Poldark, one of my favourite period dramas. So I was only really expecting two mine ruins in the middle of a field. However, like I said I was pleasantly surprised with what we discovered there.
Read MoreAfter almost two years of lockdowns and uncertainties, many of us long to travel overseas and immerse ourselves in different cultures. A holiday is an excellent way to decompress and re-energize, allowing you to return to your routine in a more positive frame of mind.

Read MoreIt’s not a revelation to tell you that 2021 wasn’t exactly a “normal” year. However for me, compared to 2020, it was actually more relaxing and far more enjoyable. Not just because we are all starting to get used to the “new normal” but because I finally started to learn about what it truly means to lead a more intentional, enjoyable life.
Read MoreI think confidence is something, no matter how we feel about ourselves, we all still struggle with. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be human. Our relationships, even the one with ourselves, cannot be perfect all the time. However we can always do things to improve our confidence and mend our relationships with ourselves no matter how broken we believe we are. I am a firm believer that no matter how low you feel, there is always a possibility to pick yourself back up again. Even in your darkest hours, there is still a small glimmer of light in the distance and within yourself to guide you back. It is by no means easy or quick but we can all do it with some self-belief, an established routine and a bit of grit.

Read MoreOctober is my favourite month of this year and I am kind of sad it flew by so fast. I did alot this month. I used the beginning of the month to take some time off work and go on a little staycation to Cornwall with my husband. The rest of the month was dedicated to getting prepped for a fun D&D party, playing some Animal Crossing and just taking life slowly. It was a pretty blissful month.
Read MoreI have always been a big follower of skincare trends and have tried my hardest to keep a consistent skincare routine throughout my late teens and early adult life. It’s never been perfect and my skin always finds a way to start hating the products it once loved. Although this hasn’t been so great for my bank account, it does mean that I have over ten years of experience in trying different skincare brands so you don't have to.
Read MoreIt’s been quite a while since I’ve published a travel diaries post. But with a combination of the pandemic, work and other responsibilities I haven’t been able to travel as much as I’ve liked for the last two years or so. Also, the few trips I have taken, I chose not to share them online just because I like to keep a few things for myself and document them in a more personal way. So, in the light of this I’d thought I’d share a few snippets with you all of my recent trip to Cornwall with my husband.
