When I told my friends and family that David and I were going camping on the West Coast of America for 7 days – with strangers – the reception I got was confusion and laughter.
You see I’m not typically renowned within my close circle as being neither spontaneous nor adventurous.
And the trip was only a week away, having been booked one week prior.
Friends and family will know what a cynical person I am.
I tend to write things off before I’ve even tried them, which is probably testament to both my cynicism and my stubbornness.
And so it was for the above reasons that I decided around the age of 18, that I just wasn’t a ‘yoga’ person.
I’m highly strung, my mind is constantly whirring with ideas and I have a phobia of toe socks.
Feeling Normal Again Post-Christmas If you’re anything like me then the Christmas period will have left you reaching for your stretchiest, comfiest sweatpants. Because in all honesty, nothing else quite fitted. In fact, yesterday – I pulled said sweatpants…
Two years ago, I was the biggest cheese addict known to mankind.
In fact, I don’t think my friends would have batted an eyelid if I’d announced I was changing my middle name to “Cheese.”
I lived, ate, and in fact, I’m pretty sure on one occasion I practically inhaled it.
So imagine my huge shock and disappointment when I was told I was severely intolerant to it…
Us girls are pretty good at talking about most things. I know me and my girlfriends bare no bones when it comes to chatting about relationships, break-ups, work-place disputes and general celebrity gossip.
We do like a good chin-wag, let’s face it.
But there’s some things that for some reason, we just don’t talk about.
Whether it’s because we’re embarrassed, or we feel we’ll be judged, or that it’s just not commonplace.
I know from personal experience, these topics are subjects that I used to feel very conscious about mentioning, for fear of how the other person would react.
When I started blogging in 2011, the social sphere looked pretty different to how it does today. There were no sponsored posts, no blogging communities and certainly no bloggers who had their own beauty ranges. Events were few and far…
I suppose it’s the cliche, as you grow older you begin to realise who your true friends are. But it’s true. I can now count the number of ‘real friends’ on one hand – and I’m much more selective about…
I’ll be totally honest here, up until about two years ago, Qatar never featured on my radar. The first I heard of it was a small mention from my boyfriend David in the midst of an anecdote about his trip…
As hideous as 2016 has seemed in the media, for me it’s been a life changing year in a good way. So many things have evolved in ways I never expected them too and I’m currently sat here feeling very…
I don’t think I’ve explored it in too much depth (just yet) on my blog, but over the past few months – my skincare routine and the products I use on a daily basis to cleanse, tone and moisturise –…
Blogging has brought me some amazing opportunities in the five and a half years I’ve been running this site. From attending the BAFTA’s, to appearing in my very own TV advert, to hosting events and meeting over 200 like-minded people….
So this post is a bit of a different one. It’s probably going to stick out like a sore thumb in among pictures of my Thailand travels and my attempt at being a fashion blogger. But hey, I think it’s…
