Image from Pinterest For a long time I’ve considered my restlessness and lack of contentment as a flaw, but this year I’m flipping things on their head and am going to consider the positives that come with it. I have a natural curiousity that drives me to push boundaries and explore the world around me. … Continue reading
This time last week I donned my scarf and blazer and hopped on the muni to the Golden Gate Bridge. Rach and I were a tad hungover after our work holiday party so we decided the best cure was a walk along the bridge. I’m always a little apprehensive when visiting iconic landmarks as so … Continue reading
It wouldn’t be a trip to San Francisco without some good ol’ fashioned mac & cheese. Feeling particularly drained after a long morning shopping I took to Google to find the best mac & cheese in town. Which is where I discovered the wonder that is The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen. Behind these unassuming doors … Continue reading
Those of you who follow me on Instagram will know I’ve been off visiting buddies in America this past week. I’ve got a few haul posts from my week in the pipeline but thought I’d start by sharing some pics from my week away. It’s no secret I adore San Francisco, it’s my home from … Continue reading
Forget “I left my heart in Beverly Hills”, there’s only one city that’s captured my heart and that’s San Francisco. In fact I’ve even been known to contemplate moving to the city of fog my love runs that deep. Unfortunately I’m yet to find someone to offer me sponsorship else I’d be on a flight … Continue reading
When it comes to style I like to think I’m an eclectic mix of retro and modern which is why I’m such a fan of Cath Kidston and her modern twist on classic designs. I am obsessed with retro prints and polka dots, and have been hugely inspired by Cath Kidston prints when designing my … Continue reading
So you may remember me mentioning these Natural Hero products a few weeks ago as part of my Ski-centuals series. It sounds cheesy but these two products were my absolute saviours last week when I was on the slopes. In fact I don’t think I went a day without using them. I followed Louise’s advice … Continue reading
For the final part of my Ski-centuals series I thought I’d show you what I took with me on our recent ski trip. When you’re out in the elements it’s essential to keep your skin both protected and hydrated. Which is exactly what these products are great at doing. Boots Essentials Cucumber Cleansing Wipes – … Continue reading
I’ve decided to break this down into two parts as I had no idea how many nail polishes I’d bought until I came to re-pack my suitcase for the trip home. Mike’s face was a picture when he saw me unpack them all! So anyway, here’s my make up haul from CVS and Walgreens. I … Continue reading
As a seasoned long-haul traveller I know only too well what it’s like to struggle to rehydrate my skin or desperately battle with a break out. After several years of trial and error though, I’ve managed to minimise the effects of long-haul flying with these awesome products and if I am unfortunate enough to still … Continue reading
Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days. It’s been a real struggle to get back to UK time since getting home on Sunday. Whilst I am scheduling posts for the next few weeks I thought I’d share a few snaps from my trip. I was really lucky to have a free … Continue reading
This time next week I’ll be on my way to San Francisco. That in itself is pretty exciting, as San Francisco is my favourite place in the States, but it also means a long overdue opportunity to shop and grab the things I can’t get back here in England. My first wish list showed you my … Continue reading
I’ve just discovered Beauty Sets, a fab new website that allows you to create magazine style editorials at just a click of a button. I’m off to the states soon, which means trawling my favourite US sites for goodies I wish to buy, so I thought this would be the perfect excuse to have a play … Continue reading
When deciding on our honeymoon we struggled to find somewhere that ticked all our boxes. First and foremost we wanted somewhere relaxing, figuring that after nearly two years of planning we would need a well earned rest once the main event was done. Unfortunately though I have a short attention span, and being someone who … Continue reading
Last night I joined the iFABBO and BlogTrends twitter chat on how to grow your blog readership. For upcoming bloggers I think events such as last night’s are crucial, not only for giving sound advice on blogging but also for networking with fellow bloggers. One of the key discussion points was guest blogging. Personally I … Continue reading
Ever the eager sailors, Mike and I decided to cut short our break in Cornwall (but only by a day!) so that we could head off to the Southampton Boat Show. Unfortunately in our eagerness to pack up on Friday I managed to leave my beloved Canon 600D behind, meaning my iPhone ended up being … Continue reading
Sorry things have been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently. It’s been a busy few weeks, seeing me head to LA for a brief visit before I road tripped halfway across the country to spend a blustery two weeks in Cornwall and that’s not the end of it, as Saturday sees me jetting … Continue reading
Today we’re making the long drive home which means soon normal service will resume. In the meantime enjoy this photo of St Ives taken from under a bridge.
On Monday we set off on our long awaited deep sea fishing trip. Unfortunately half an hour in I’d only caught two mackerel and had lost the slice of toast I’d eaten that morning. Needless to say it was a long four hours which I never wish to repeat. This little chap ended up being … Continue reading
We found this washed up on Treyarnon Bay yesterday morning and I couldn’t resist taking a snap of it. If anyone has any idea what it is do let me know as I’m genuinely intrigued by it.
