I’m moving…

Hello lovely people! Hope everyone has had a fabulous weekend. I appreciate I have been a bit quiet on the posts over the last couple of weeks, but I have decided to bring this blog to an end. I have loved having this diary of sorts, keeping track of my favourite discoveries, trips and everything…

Snack Attack

Snacks. Sometimes they turn into a full-blown meal, at times they are unnecessary and there are days when they are the thing to get you through the day; whether it pulls you through till your next meal, a working day or a workout. I am someone who snacks too much; sometimes it is down to…

Review: Farmstand

Whilst there is an abundance of health spots in London, to find one that’s not overpriced and doesn’t require endless queueing is a challenge. Typically, after venturing to a few places, deciding against the queues and/or overpriced menu, I end up going to Pret or Itsu – which is all well and good except when…

Monday Motivation: HIIT Workout

I gym quite a bit. I am no expert and have no qualifications but I follow bloggers and I read quite a bit to educate myself about exercise and fitness and after many years, I have finally worked out what works for me. There’s still so much I don’t know and my abs (or lack…

How about some mindfulness in January?

Being in the moment. It is advice that’s thrown around by everyone – newspapers, magazines, bloggers, specialists; the list goes on. How often do we really listen though and practice being in the moment, and being ‘mindful’? I promise myself that I will start to be more present; take notice of the little things and…

Reflecting on 2016

  As the clock strikes 12 tonight (wherever in the world you may be) those of us who are sober enough, will reflect on the year that has been. I am not one to make New Year’s resolutions; I believe they put too much pressure on you and are, well… clichéd. Nevertheless, it is important…

Getting your festive on in London

‘Tis the week before Christmas! Can you believe it?! I don’t know about everybody else, but I am feeling a bit overwhelmed by the speed at which Christmas has come around and the year has (almost) come to an end. I have been feeling pretty festive this year – with a few ups and downs,…

Christmas Gift Guide for Her

The festive period is well and truly upon us and I am finally on board! London is lit up, Christmas songs are being played in every store and present shopping is in full swing. Ah present shopping… I can smugly say that I have bought the vast majority of my gifts and only have a few…

Review: The Mae Deli

I am not a cool Londoner. This isn’t a case of me feeling sorry for myself, or asking anyone to disagree. It’s a fact. I am late to find out about most things hip and happening in the city (and even if I knew of them, I’m not all that hip, so I probably wouldn’t…

A big kid in London (a.k.a kidulting)

I am 25, going 50. Just this weekend, I decided that there was no better way to spend a Sunday evening than with soothing music, candles and scent coins (they’re amazing!!!) and an adult colouring book. Gone are the days of clubbing, drinking until I’m dizzy/nauseous and now my bag-choices are dependent on what contents…
