The Gift Guide Series: Something For Her

The Gift Guide Series: Something For Her

So here it is, my Christmas 2020 Gift Guide ‘For Her’. I’ve tried to gather as many different types of gifts within various price ranges that I could think of, so that hopefully this caters to a lot, if not all, of the women in your life. I decided not to include fragrance as I find that quite a personal preference and probably not one I would choose on recommendation, but aside from that you’ll find everything from skincare and haircare, to homewares and hobbies.

The Gift Guide Series: Letterbox Gifting

The Gift Guide Series: Letterbox Gifting

Welcome to the very first instalment of my 2020 Gift Guide Series! This will be the first time I’ve ever put a Christmas gift guide together, but I thought that some of you may enjoy a little more help planning your gift giving than usual, given the strange circumstances we’re all in. For this first post, I want to focus on Letterbox Gifting, purely because it’s the most accessible and stress-free way of sending little gestures to our loved ones whilst in and out of varying lockdowns and restrictions.

How my shopping habits are changing with the times

How my shopping habits are changing with the times

Over the last 2 to 3 years, my shopping habits have begun to really change. Looking back at a few years ago, I can remember a time when I was obsessed with fast fashion and would spend £100 every other week in Primark, coming home with hauls of new outfits, that I would inevitably wear once and then throw to the back of my wardrobe.

This came partly from an obsession with different trends and wanting to always be wearing the latest piece but also from a love of fashion and a desire to be creative with the way I dressed and expressed myself every day. However, over recent years I’ve started to think more consciously about my shopping habits and am (hopefully) making changes for the better.

Why I like to shop the Summer sales for my Autumn/Winter pieces

Why I like to shop the Summer sales for my Autumn/Winter pieces

Yes, I said it, Autumn/Winter! I’ve gone there and there’s no going back. So as we’re creeping further into the second half of the year, I’ve started to think about colder weather trends, mainly because it’s my favourite time of year to dress for and I get so excited at the thought of switching up my wardrobe, layering up and pulling the leather trousers back out!

An Update on my 2020 Promises

An Update on my 2020 Promises

So you may remember at the start of the year, I wrote a post about how I was planning to approach the year ahead through my promises. 2020 has definitely not been anything at all like any of us planned, so last week I began to think about how I was navigating through these strange times and whether I’d managed to stay true to my core beliefs at the same time and thought it would be good to share a little mid-year update with you all.

My favourite ways to unwind after a day WFH

My favourite ways to unwind after a day WFH

Recently, my morning and evening routines have become my landmarks for every day and I’m really precious about what I do and don’t do within that time. Since not going into the office each day, I’ve really enjoyed getting some extra time back which is usually sucked up with the daily commute and am making the most of it by taking some extra time to relax and start or end my days in the best way for me.

Easter Weekend Outfits to Wear At Home

Hands up who’s looking forward to the bank holiday weekend? I know it’s not going to be the usual bank holiday weekend with girls days out, family Easter lunches and egg hunts in the park but I for one, am so looking forward to four days off work to spend pottering around the house – and the garden if the sunshine decides to stay!

How I’m adjusting to Working from Home (In the real world)

How I’m adjusting to Working from Home (In the real world)


So the majority of the country are working from home at the moment and I don’t know about you but I have been inundated with WFH tips, tricks and ideas from online magazines, bloggers and healthcare providers to name just a few. I have found it really useful to read how different people are adjusting to the change or even how seasoned home workers have been balancing their daily routine for years. I think for most of us it’s a new and uncertain time, so it’s good to share best practice and be able to change and learn as we go.

How to stay positive and productive whilst stuck indoors

How to stay positive and productive whilst stuck indoors

With the current global health situation, a lot of people will be staying indoors more over the next few weeks, whether through choice or not. I’ve been at home a lot more myself due to having to work from home, rather than going into the office and I am already climbing the walls. I really struggle to stay inside the house all day for just 24 hours, let alone weeks at a time so this has got me thinking of different things I can do to occupy my mind and time.
