The 2019 Home Stretch I don’t know why, but I find it really hard to set goals. I bought a goals journal two months ago, and the one time I went to a coffee shop with the sole purpose of filling it out, I started panicking and had to leave. It’s time I got over this. With the nature of my job, it’s arguably more important for me to…

As I was sitting down to write this blogpost, I noticed a draft post lurking underneath the published pieces. It was titled “I’m Feeling Disconnected From My Body,” and I wrote it in June earlier this year. As I skimmed over it, I realised that I have made a fair bit of progress since the beginning of summer. Step by step, I have been tackling the restrictive feeling I’d had…

As it’s the last hot day in the foreseeable future, I thought I’d share these photos Georgia and I shot on the hottest week of the year. Whilst I’m ready for autumn, I’m going to miss the sticky hot weather we have had these past couple of months. My re-useable flasks have developed a whole new selling point, keeping water cool for hours as I explored the city in the…

So let’s talk about last week shall we? It was a definite insert-heart-eye emoji-here kind of getaway. We went away for a quiet week with Jack’s family in Puglia, Italy, to eat local food, soak up some sun and generally decompress. We stayed in a villa a couple of minutes from Monopoli (yes, Monopoli Monopoly does exist,) a beautiful town in the “heel” of the country. The weather was incredible;…

Did I need to start using that fourth toner? There’s nothing I love more than trying new makeup. I always book in at least an hour on holiday for waltzing into Sephora and spritzing, swatching and sampling my way through products I haven’t tried before. I can’t even tell you how excited I am for the new mega-Boots’ that have opened recently with the expanded product selection. I’m always trying…

Let’s get glowy 🌞 I love me a bit of skincare, I really do. There’s nothing like the sweet feeling of slathering your face in a mask, or taking off a long day’s makeup. I tend to try a lot of skincare, but once I find something, it stays in my routine for months, and sometimes years. However, I do seasonal change-ups to make sure my skincare is weather-appropriate and…

I realised it’s been too long since I wrote a blog post, so get ready for a big debrief that will probably read more like a diary entry. I’ve got a glass of white wine and a bowl of pasta beside me, which I’d say is good preparation. Let me try and share some of what’s been going on over the past couple of months with you. I’ve…

In recent months, I’ve been thinking a lot about the changes I could make to my lifestyle to make it more eco-friendly. The planet is struggling with pollution; 8 million metric tonnes of plastic winds up in our oceans each year, and carbon dioxide levels in the air are at their highest in 650,000 years. Whilst I believe a huge part of halting climate change is putting pressure on governments…

I am a little bit enthralled by the idea of wellness. There’s something so appealing about the idea that wholesome activities and personal investments can make a huge change to all aspects of my life. I recently got hold of a jade roller, and the other day I scoped out my local reformer pilates classes. I keep telling myself that while the price seems steep, it’s an investment in myself…

I’ve been living in London for five and a half years (someone hold me) and soon I’ll be moving to my sixth home in the city. Time flies; it’s unreal. Eighteen year-old me could have moved here yesterday, it still feels just as fresh. Will I ever get used to the unnerving tilt of double decker buses when they turn a corner? Only time will tell. So yeah,…
