I’ve been visiting Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire ever since I was a kid. Being only a 40 minute drive from home, my parents used to take me there regularly when I was little and then I started visiting again myself as an adult and for me, it’s one of those truly nostalgic places where […]

Now before I get started, I just want to explain that the photos in this post don’t accurately reflect what I was trying to get at. I’ve been lucky enough to work with xylondon twice before, on a Spring and a Summer post. The next logical step would be Autumn, right? But 2018 continues to […]
Read MoreIt’s been many a month since I’ve had any sort of proper skincare routine. I tend to get the odd few products for my birthday or for Christmas, use them and then not bother re-purchasing or buying new skincare until my next birthday rolls around. I know that sounds really stingy and in a way, […]
Read MoreI’ve been a self-employed blogger for a good 2 or so years now and before that, I was a self employed online business owner, which I sadly closed down in August this year. So it’s safe to say that I’ve had a lot of time, practice and experience of working by myself and for myself […]
Read MoreIf you are retired, or at least 62 years of age or older, you may qualify for a special type of home loan. It is called a reverse mortgage, if it offered by a private company.

Read MoreIt’s been drilled into our heads ever since we were born that Christmas is the time to, ‘eat, drink and be merry!’ That it’s the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ and ’tis the season to be jolly’. The constant reiteration of the same expectation… The Christmas is a time to be happy, have fun […]

Read MoreHaving a pond can give a serene touch to your already aesthetically pleasing backyard, but it isn’t all just glamour and relaxation when you get into this hobby–you’d get to deal with dirt, mud, and quite a bit of your time and money as well–especially trying to maintain it’s beauty throughout the seasons. No need […]
Read MoreYou might feel like it’s a Herculean effort to get a house deposit together, but instead of giving up and resigning yourself to renting forever, get some great ideas and advice here. You can save your house deposit up – it’ll take time, effort and sacrifice, but it can be done if you follow some […]
Read MoreWe’ve had beauty subscription boxes, time of the month subscription boxes and stationery subscription boxes. There’s pretty much a subscription box for anything you could possibly want these days. Today I’m featuring a subscription box (you’d probably guessed that already otherwise all this talk of subscription boxes has been pretty pointless) that caters for those […]
Read MoreWhen it comes to films and TV, I tend to be drawn towards the darker, disturbing and mind-fu*k options as opposed to the light, funny and warm choices available. I’m sure that says something about me as a person, I’m just not sure what yet… But like with books, I love a dark show that’ll […]

I’ve had the idea for this post sitting in the notes on my phone for literally months now but haven’t taken the plunge (plunge… isn’t that a brilliant word) to actually sit down and write it yet. Partly because there’s a lot of information involved and I’m a bit overwhelmed at where to start and […]
Read MoreI don’t think there’s ever a right or wrong way to propose to someone or to want to be proposed to yourself (heck, people even are proposing to themselves!). Whether it’s a big, extravagant affair with fireworks or agreeing to get married because all your friends are – like my parents did – whatever your […]

Read MoreAdvent calendars are without a doubt one of the best things about Christmas. Even as an adult, my Mum still buys me a chocolate advent calendar every year to enjoy in the lead up to Christmas. Although she does buy the dog one as well so there’s that. Before I started blogging, I didn’t think […]
Read MoreI recently saw this post on Lize in Disneyland so I straight up can’t take credit for it but I thought it looked like a fun idea and basically I’ll take any excuse to talk about Disney so here we are. I’ve vowed to blog about Disney more this year and I think I’ve done […]
