Book Review: The Divorcées - Rowan Beaird

My goal for the year was to get through more books and I am actively trying, some take longer and some are shorter and this one was a little longer but still thoroughly enjoyable. It's less plot driven and more character driven but if you have a good imagination, you can get the best visualisat…

Book Review: The House of Mirrors - Erin Kelly

I got through this book in 7 days. Just one week. It's the only time I have ever stuck to "I want to read a book per week" and I can honestly see why. It wasn't just because I was disciplined, it was the actual book, and maybe the fact that the more I read the more I am able to vi…

Book Review: Coco Mellors - Blue Sisters

It's not often I read a book and manage to relate in some way shape or form to every character, but somehow, Blue Sisters is the one that tops the list. I had zero expectations for this book and to be honest like most books I read I barely bothered to look at the blurb as it came as a recommend…

What Does Money Mean In Your 30's?

It was recently my birthday, not something I announce or broadcast and thankfully the barrage of messages and Facebook wall posts was limited to only a few this year. It's not that I don't appreciate peoples well wishes, but more of a "I hate my birthday, it always comes with bad luck …

Book Review: Monica Heisey - Really Good, Actually

We finally come to the book that made me go back to the library. This book was posted on their Instagram page and it got me thinking about how much I missed reading, but it was definitely popular and I had to wait a few weeks before I could take it out as it was already on loan. I had no idea what …

Book Review: Carola Dunn - Mistletoe and Murder

Now I've only been back into my regular reading for a couple of weeks and I thought I would start out easy. I know I love these books and as simple as they are, they are a real page turner! I have read maybe 2-3 of this series already and anytime I see them I always grab them, I have my eye on …

Book Review: Dolly Alderton - Good Material

It's been a while since I managed to finish a book but this one got me by the hooks and kept me reading. I picked it up at my local library and had a couple of messages about how good it is from people that have read it, and some asking about what it's like once I've finished. Spoiler a…

Silence

As I grew up, I was always one of those kids that had to have the TV on or music on at any given time. Probably something to do with raging undiagnosed ADHD and a coping mechanism I thought was just an interest in music. Or maybe it was because in my early years I would fall asleep at my grandparen…

My Favourite Places in Bali in 2023 - Restaurants, Bars, Areas

Book Review: The Psychology of Money

The Psychology of Money - Morgan HouselShop on Amazon* affWe all know I'm one for anything to do with psychology and money is such an interesting topic, especially since it's why we all try so hard right? It gives us freedom, buys us unnecessarily large or expensive things and allows us to …

*Morning GRWM with Estée Lauder

Fun fact, Estée Lauder Double Wear was the first foundation my mum let me buy and wear at 16 years old. It was the one she used and I had always seen her use, as well as the YSL Touche Éclat concealer she swore by. There are certain things you remember about your loved ones and little things they h…

What is 'Feminine Energy'?

It’s easy to assume that when talking about something like ‘feminine answer’ that there would be a bullet pointed list of what it does and doesn’t consist of. When I google ‘what is feminine energy’ I get a whole page of results supposedly telling you how to get more of it and get into it. But what…

3 New Restaurants to Visit In Southampton

It will come as no surprise that I love food. I have opened up a little about my struggles with food (here) but to be honest I have always loved it and going out for dinner is a really enjoyable experience for me. I love trying new places, getting dressed up to go out and spending time with people …

Pretty Dresses or Sports Luxe?

It will be of no surprise to any of you that my fashion changes quite a lot. I can go from being sporty and comfortable to Kardashian glam in an instant and honestly the freedom that gives me it great, but the non-existent space in my wardrobe would not agree..... I have had to add an extra set of …
