The Christmas preparations can all be such a rush can’t they. You feel like you’ve got a million and one things to do and that list just keeps on growing. My Christmas has whittled down over the years and I’ve…

I had high hopes for Shetland. I mean, really high hopes. When I was about eight I watched a tv programme about it and I was in awe of how close the presenters got to orca whales. They were right there by their boats. I wanted to go and see those whales more than anything.

As much as I want my life to be like those adverts on telly (and Pinterest), Christmas just isn’t the most wonderful time of the year for me. It’s a rollercoaster of contradictory emotions and I’ve had to…

There’s been a sharp shift when it comes to the fast fashion industry and I’m thrilled to have witnessed it. Every time I log into Instagram another fashion blogger is raising awareness around sustainability…

Twenty eight hours isn’t much time to explore a new city. Luckily Malmo isn’t huge and there’s certainly no need to let it exhaust you. You can easily walk everywhere or rent a bike and you’ll be anywhere…

The thought of putting these words out into the world terrifies me. It shouldn’t but it does. This post has been sitting in my drafts for months. – partly because of how much I worry it will make me less…

I feel like 90s teen films taught me how to shop. My core belief that I wasn’t good enough as I was and buying stuff would make me feel more worthy had a part to play too. But, remember the…

I’ve got a travel bucket list made up of all the places I want to visit someday. Like most people who own such a list I’ve filled it with all the usual suspects, the kinds of places most travellers visit. Sweden…

I’m standing in H&M and there’s a giant poster on the wall encouraging people to recycle and repurpose their clothes. Could the fast fashion brands finally be waking up to the fact our throw away culture is…

We all want buttery baby soft skin so that only the sparsest of make up is required, don’t we? Well I do. The better condition my skin is in the less I have to faff around with concealer and tinted moisturiser. Hurrah!

It started when I was nine, yes NINE! I was the only girl in my primary school who had her period at the time and I couldn’t leave the house because I was incapable of managing it. Traumatic and isolating to…

Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you want to declutter is the most common reason we never get started. The very thought of spending a Sunday evening listing items on eBay can be enough to…

What if we’re not meant to live and work in perfect consistency day after day, week after week? What if like everything around us we’re meant to thrive, rest and hibernate in seasons? Woo woo I know but I…

I love reading but making time to do it doesn’t always feel easy with everything else going on in life. It has to be a real page turner to keep me interested else I quickly start thinking what else I could be doing…

I thought it might never happen but six months after spotting this dreamy 3 bed cottage on the internet we’re finally able to call it home. We’ve given up 250 sq ft, a drive, a garage, a garden, a dedicated…

I once bought an entire collection of makeup brushes because a girl on YouTube told me they were ‘life changing’. You know how this story goes don’t you? They weren’t life changing and I hardly ever used…

I’m no stranger to heartbreak. Boyfriend after boyfriend they all let me down. They cheated, told me I wasn’t quite right for them, effortlessly explained they didn’t love me anymore and even pretended to have…

I’m no expert when it comes to photography, I’m a self-taught amateur with a deep love of taking photos and a heck of a lot to learn. That doesn’t mean you should stop reading because I have nothing…

I know clutter is bad for me. I know this to be true. I’ve lived with clutter and I’ve lived without it. I know the difference. I know how much better I feel in a spacious home that’s free from meaningless junk I kept just…
