This time of year, the list of gifts to buy can be ever growing, from stocking fillers, to teacher thank you gifts, and not forgetting Secret Santa gifts. Thank goodness Boots have done the leg work for you so you can use it as a one stop shop this Christmas and get them something they really want.

Our kitchen make over, what a journey. We started on May 17th 2021 and completed it in the last week of January 2022, something about the kitchen intimated me so much, so we just took our time. I adore how it turned out, sometimes slow and steady wins the race.
One question I get a lot, is asking about where I get my rugs from. I wasn’t gatekeeping this information, I promise, I just wanted to give them a few weeks to see if I would recommend them, and as I should have a predicted weeks turned into months…but here they are!
I use my phone to create a lot of content, and edit it too. I thought I’d share my most used apps to help me create both photo and video content for work.
Although I did paint these stripes last year, I am about to recreate them elsewhere in my house so I thought I’d jog my memory on how I did it. It’s such a great way to add some focus and character to a room.
I have wanted to do monthly edits in this space for so long, so each month I am going to be doing a fashion and homeware one. I had to kick off, with my number one design detail, scallops.
Part II of this year’s gift guide is here, here’s to making a list and checking it twice…

When Slumberdown got in touch to see if I would like to attend a sleep workshop with their sleep wellness ambassador, I jumped at the chance for some expert help. Read about what I learned here.

At the end of each month, I’ll be doing a little round-up of things I’ve enjoyed over the past four weeks or so.
I love toast, if someone asked what my favourite thing to eat would be, it would be almost anything on toast…except beans, sorry bean lovers. I thought I’d share some fancier on toast options in case you’ve got any garden plans with friends and you don’t know what to serve.
A short but sweet blog post from me today. I am trying to make sure when I mention something on Instagram you can find it easily either on my grid, highlights or on the blog as I know it can be super frustrating when you look at can’t find what you’re after. I have had so many questions about this perfume brand since I shared it, so I wanted to give it a bit more dedicated room on the blog.
In the last year, the increase of things that we can get in the post has skyrocketed, one of them being the increase in food businesses adapting to nationwide delivery. In the name of research, I have tried a fair few over the last year and here is a round-up of some of my favourite - you can always count on me to be doing the hard work for you.
After a year of lockdown, whilst I am very grateful for our lovely house that’s kept us safe, and allowed us to stay at home, there’s chipped paint, muddy walls, and clutter all over. It’s been well lived in and whilst I don’t believe any of these things to be a bad thing, it’s starting to feel like it needs some TLC now that Spring has arrived.
Apparently, according to a quick search of the blog, this is my FIFTH TV round up. I'm clearly obsessed with the box. You can find previous recommendations here, and for the record, you won’t find any murder mysteries or crime drama around these parts.
Relaunching the blog is something I’ve wanted to do since the start of the year, but for a number of reasons, it’s fallen down my to-do list several times. However today is the day I draw a line under that, I have blog posts planned for the next quarter, all I have to do is write and share them. Sounds simple right?
Well, not exactly.
A question somebody asked me recently, is where do I buy all my plates from? I need absolutely no further encouragement to discuss crockery with you, so obviously the natural thing to do was dedicated a 1000 words to sharing some of my favourites finds with you in a blog post.
My latest five feelgoods is here, a few things that have been bringing me a lot of joy whilst we’ve been social distancing. We’ve had a birthday party (for three), baked the best blondies and I’ve added to my tablecloth collection.
If you haven’t been formally introduced to Beauty Pie before, Beauty Pie is the new way to shop for beauty and skincare products. I have been a fan and worked with Beauty Pie for well over 18 months, this blog post takes you through my current day and night favourites.
Bored of Banana Bread? Try this super easy, three ingredient (ok four if you add sprinkles) recipe for Oreo Balls. My absolute favourite sweet treat, apologies in advance for any repeat trips to the fridge for more.
I’ve been asked for more TV recommendations, and who am I to argue. Clearly I watch too much, but only so I can share with you my favourites…promise.
I thought a round up of things that have brought a smile to my face would be a great way to bookend the week, encouraging me to take more photos on my ‘big camera’ and remind me there’s so much to be grateful for.
Having a nursery is most definitely a luxury and it’s also recommended that the baby sleeps in your room for the first few months. However having somewhere to put all their bits is a game changer, this is what we’ve done with the space for our second child.
