12/06/2018

I really am an adventurer by heart, I love exploring and finding new places. I think if I hadn’t met some of the people I have in my life I would have been a traveller. There are so many places that I hope to explore one day so I am sharing them with you in a hope that one day I will have my chance to see them. Iceland This is one of the places that has been up there for a while on my list now. From the northern lights to the lagoons there is not one bit that I don’t want to ...

Touring Italy- Florence | Pisa

26/10/2017

Florence is a stunning place to visit. Unlike Rome, it doesn’t have too many ‘attractions’ to visit. By that I mean grand historical sculptures like in Rome. Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of Basilica to go in and see and the cathedral is really something else, however, Florence is more art and paintings and detail. If you read my Touring Italy- Rome post you will get all the tips and tricks for visiting Italy. So I wont bore you with all the details again but here is what we did in ...

Touring Italy- Rome

04/10/2017

I’ve always envied people who have been to Italy. The country is meant to be beautiful and breath-taking, why wouldn’t I be envious. A country of culture, a country of art, a country of history. We have already been to Venice previously, which had been a trip of a lifetime but we craved more. We settled on Rome, Florence and Pisa. Three cities filled to the brim with everything you can imagine. We decided against staying in hotels for a change, we wanted the whole Tuscan experience, so we ...

Touring London With London Duck Tours

02/06/2017

One of the things I vowed to do on my 50 before 30 list (no.48) was to ‘Be a tourist in my own town and go and check out the local history’ and last weekend I did just that. I have never been on a real bus tour of London, never, I mean, I live around the corner- why would I when there are so many other more exotic places to go right? WRONG! There is so much history right on your doorstep, whether you live in central London or the streams of the Cotswolds, History is everywhere ...

Broadstairs

26/04/2017

So at the weekend I took a day trip to Broadstairs, the coastal town near Margate in Kent. This is actually very close to the village where I first lived. Not many of you know my story (maybe Ill tell it one day ) but I have lived in A LOT of houses. But this was the first one the very very first one. I love Broadstairs, the sandy beaches, the chips, the ice creams, the quaint back streets! I love re-living all the memories of my mum taking me when I was little. You simply CANNOT go to ...

Happy 1st Birthday!

05/03/2017

One whole year ago my blog was a fresh clean page, ready for creativity to start. March 3rd saw me finally put pen to paper and begin a whirlwind of excitement and adventure. Initially i was going to do a ‘what i’ve learnt in my first year of blogging’ type of post, but that is just too cliche for me. Instead, i just wanted to look at what has happened in the past year and how fun it has been. The year has seen just over 100 posts, 75 new products and a whole new book club ...

23/12/2016

In the UK a Neewer Ring Light retails for around £75-£100. Sometimes it is hard to afford that sort of money at certain times. I wanted to show you how you don’t have to fork out that money. There are so many ways of doing things a lot cheaper. So above you will see a Fluorescent tube light in the shape of the ring. This is £9.99 from amazon. It is a bright natural light lamp. At 32W and energy-saving it is perfect of these winter evenings. Now this lamp can’t glow without ...

25/11/2016

Perfectly folded clothes, impeccable flowers and the unused candle- sounds like your typical Instagram post doesn’t it? Flat lays are a fairly new thing in blogging, since the rise in Instagram usage. Basically, it is where you arrange items in a particular way and then take a photo of it from overhead in a good light. This year (2016) has been the year of definition with regard to flat lays. In the past year people have been more and more hooked on getting this simple thing so ...
