So we’ve made it to the end of blogtober and the first word that springs to mind is ‘phew’. This post is going to be a bit rambly, a bit ranty and a bit all over the place, as we’ve reached the end of October and probably my most active blogging month ever since the …
5 Quick, Easy & Simple Ways to “Do Your Bit”
I’m only one person. And so are you. And although our generation has been fucking incredible at speaking up and raising awareness about things, there’s only so much “changing the planet” that one soul can realistically achieve. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try. No way. That should mean we try more. Circumstances, money …
My 10 Favourite Life-Affirming Disney Quotes
You know me, I love Disney. That’s no secret. And a major part of many Disney films are the messages and lessons they try and teach us within them. Most of these films come with quotes and I for one, love a good quote. I think quotes (not just Disney ones) can help us realise …
Things I Think We Should Be Taught More of in School

The Autumn Reading Tag
I don’t really do an awful lot of tag posts anymore – I tend to find the questions too hard, especially book related ones and not being able to find the perfect book fit for each question stresses me the hell out. So I’m pretty picky when I’m tagged in these sort of posts but, …
The Sweetest Type of Bouquet With Munch a Bunch *
We all love flowers, right? And we definitely all love chocolate. So what about… a chocolate bouquet?! I love supporting small businesses, especially local small businesses owned by people from my own neck-of-the-woods who, like me, work hard on creating and growing a business of their own – whatever it may be.

How Books and Book Blogging Saved Me

How I Prepare for a Short Trip Away
I love taking short breaks away from home – even if it’s just for 1 night. I always find it helps to keep me grounded: a change of scenery and truly be good for the soul I believe. So if I have a chance to go away anyway, I’ll almost always take it. The excitement, …
