Geneva really is the city that has it all. And I know that's perhaps a rather bold statement to make, but following three days there earlier this month - I can safely say, it's risen right to the top of my recommended city breaks list, because whether it's gorgeous scenery, waterside dining, cocktails on the beach, boat trips, chocolate tours, fine dining, mountainous landscapes, hiking, shopping, culture or relaxation that you're searching for in a break, this is the destination that ticks ALL the boxes.I visited in association with Geneva Tourism in early September, for a long weekend stay with a group of girls. We had the most fabulous weekend and experienced all of the elements while we were there - blazing sunshine, clouded mist and a little bit of drizzle, however we soon discovered that whatever the weather, it's a gorgeous city with a lot to offer.

Wellness has been the buzz-word for the past five years, with a drastic rise in individuals seeking life balance, mindfulness techniques, nutrition advice, organic foods, plant-based diets, BPA-free tableware and natural supplements.And this shift of getting to know our bodies more is undeniably a good thing. We're doing our own research and taking our health into our own hands. Whereas 'wellness' used to be something people sought after a health-scare, these days we are taking the mantra 'prevention is the best medicine' as literally as we possibly can.

The Instagram algorithm.Those three little words rattle around the blogosphere constantly and confuse even the most seasoned user of the photo sharing platform. Since Instagram launched in 2010, it has changed its newsfeed from a chronological format (where each post displays in time order) in favour of its infamous algorithm, which claims to organise users feeds based on what it thinks will be of interest.The premise of the algorithm is actually a pretty good idea. A personalised newsfeed of all the photos you'll probably like most, based on what type of content you tend you engage with, which profiles you spend the longest looking at and commenting on and what's popular with other users. 

Now I won't lie to you here and profess I'm the queen of productivity, because this is most definitely not the case.I procrastinate far too much and seem to have made a habit out of causing myself more stress by not using free hours to catch up on work and be productive. Instead I use them to watch YouTube videos and get lost in the minefield of Twitter.But hey, we all do it.

Sandals is the brand synonymous with luxury, honeymoons and romance.So when I was invited on a group trip a couple of weeks ago, alongside fellow bloggers, I couldn't quite believe it.Little old me, who hadn't ever stayed in a hotel back before I started this blog, was being sent to stay at a five star luxury resort with all inclusive activities, food and fun.Er. Pinch me, please. 

I'll be totally honest with you, until a trip to Madeira was suggested to me a couple of months ago, I hadn't heard too much about the Portuguese Island.When I mentioned the upcoming trip to my parents, they agreed it was a place synonymous with the older generation or those who want a quiet holiday.So it's safe to say I didn't really know what to expect, other than no wild parties.But after a 4 hour flight, we touched down in Funchal and were instantly pleasantly surprised.

So let me set the context for this post.A couple of years ago, I decided to undertake my own little social experiment.And nope, don't worry - I wasn't going to be parading around Piccadilly Circus in my underwear or anything like that.Though props to the girls who do have the confidence to do that!Instead, I decided to stop reaching out to friends and see which of them reached out to me.

It's no secret that Bath is one of my all-time favourite UK cities.There's something so peaceful, calming and quite magical about the rows upon rows of terraced limestone fronted houses, cobbled paths, natural springs and incredible Georgian architecture.It's a feel-good city, if there's ever been such a thing.And so when the opportunity arose to visit again, this time with my boyfriend David in tow, I booked the date in the diary immediately.It was a lovely chance to enjoy all the benefits of a city break, without having to hop on a plane.
