I used to do some nice goals orientated posts at the beginning of every month but they usually pointed all the things I hadn’t achieved… That can be pretty depressing. So I thought this month as we are a week into January I would look at what I am already doing and will continue to do those throughout the month and beyond. 1. Get Back…
After updating my kitchen this year, I’ve caught the decorating bug. Especially as I spend most of my time scrolling through Pinterest or on interior accounts on Instagram. I’ve got an idea of what I want to do with the living room but I figured writing it all down here will help to streamline my thoughts and make sure I’ve thought of every avenue. Plans…
It would seem that I’ve ended up taking a long extended break from my blog. It wasn’t intentional but it never is. Life gets in the way. And man, this year life has REALLY got in the way. The kind of things that knock you for six and leave you very little time to do anything else. I haven’t had the head space. I always…
The other week I was invited down to The Ivy Restaurant Victoria Quarter in Leeds, to try out their breakfast menu. I’ve been excited for The Ivy to finally open in Leeds, I’ve heard rumblings for the past few years but it’s finally here! Of course we’ve all heard about the iconic Ivy in London.

That’s why it’s taken me so long to get a kitchen I really love. But…

I’m fortunate enough to have a job I love and it’s something I get asked a lot of questions about. I thought I’d put together a little list of tips and tricks on how to get your dream job. Of course this is just my experience, I’d love to hear more about yours. Extra Curricular I went to university and studied Journalism, at the time…
Photo Credit: Apartment Number 4 A couple of weeks ago I was invited by Redbrick Mill along to their event in conjunction with Nicola who you will know from The Girl with The Green Sofa. I’ve been to Redbrick a few times as it is literally down the road from me but I often forget how much of a interiors treasure it is. Nicola is…
Why are we in a rush? It seems that there always has to be some milestone to get to or to achieve. Social media has made this culture more visible but I think this pressure has always been there. My Facebook is basically just the announcements part of the newspaper these days. Watching old school friends pop out humans and have lavish weddings. There always…

I was in Barcelona at the end of April for my friends hen do. And although I came away with something I didn’t want (a broken foot) we had a great time! I like doing these quick iPhone guides as it doesn’t take too much planning. It also means I can live a little bit more in the moment than I would behind a professional…
