Hello, blog. It’s been a while. A year and a half, if we’re counting. Even as I type this it feels weirdly alien. Putting my thoughts back out there, typing into WordPress. Blogging used to be such a staple part of my life, a hobby that spanned years of creative ventures and growth. I started…
Lifestyle
my 2020 plans
Since I got a full-time job after graduating in 2016 my blog has taken a bit of a back seat. It’s been something I’ve posted on now and again, flitting between lifestyle posts, blogging tips and bullet journalling. With the help of Grow & Glow* (affiliate link) I think I’ve finally figured out that actually,…
Is being an influencer such a bad thing?
When I first started blogging six years ago, influencers weren’t really a thing to the extent that they are today. Sure, they existed, but the term hadn’t really come into the mainstream just yet, and influencer marketing was in its infancy. Flash forward to today, and even those who aren’t in the industry understand the…
Body positivity in your mid-twenties
TW: This post references eating disorders and body dysmorphia My body has changed in the last few years, and I’ve gone from barely thinking twice about how I looked, to thinking about it quite a bit. Whilst I’ve only put on a stone or so, I carry a lot of that around my tummy and…
Small steps you can take to living a more ethical life
Ethics and sustainability are huge buzzwords these days, but there still seems to be a bit of a misconception around what they actually mean. To live sustainably do you have to go off-grid, live out in the sticks somewhere with solar panels and an allotment and live completely self-sufficiently off your own land? Maybe. But…
Going Pescatarian for January
I’m a sucker for a new year’s resolution. There’s something quite nice about setting goals, particularly when it comes with a fresh start, and I just love it. This year, I’m setting myself a bigger challenge than what I usually go for and I’m switching up my whole diet to go pescatarian. We’re about half…
Some of my favourite games to play throughout the holidays
I love playing board games in the festive season, and today I thought I’d share a few of my favourites with you. Some are firm favourites and some were new to us this year, but they’re all great for the whole family. Of course, you can’t beat a classic game of Monopoly, but it’s nice…
On turning twenty-four
jumper | jeans | fitbit Just over a week ago I turned 24. My last couple of birthdays have been a bit anticlimactic but for some reason I actually felt excited for my 24th. I spent the day at work before heading out for dinner with Sam in the evening and it was a really…
Blogging for myself
I haven’t blogged with heart in a long time. My last post was over a month ago, but even before that I was only managing one or two posts a month. When I first started blogging and for a huge period in 2016, there was love in every single post I wrote. I couldn’t wait…
Learning a language with Rosetta Stone #ad
As you may have guessed from my social media posts last week, I’m currently learning Spanish with Rosetta Stone. I’ve been trying to learn Spanish on and off since I was 12, and over 10 years later I’m still not stringing sentences together like I want to be. I’ve tried language apps in the past…
