Let Your Dreams Fly: Volume II

21 November 2016

Leeds, UK
Happy Monday! A little while ago, I published a blog post that featured some of my favourite inspirational quotes to spread a sprinkle of positivity on my blog and on the world wide web. Sometimes I just need a pick-me-up moment, and looking through a good selection of quotes imprints the wise words on my brain and motivates me to work harder and let my dreams fly...


Phone Cases Galore!

15 November 2016

Hurray for post number 350! I'm sure you’ve heard me blab on about CaseApp about 100 times. This time last year, I had just discovered the brand, and now I’m obsessed! I like to mix up my phone cases every so often, especially when it comes to a new season. The change gives me something different to look at, rather than the basic iPhone back (even though mine’s pink and I love pink), and motivates me in a weird but wonderful way. Custom designs by me help the cases feel a little more personal too, and I’ve managed to build up quite the collection over the years.

My Top Travel Destinations

8 November 2016

London, UK
Technically, we’re nowhere near the end of the year – but I’m already feeling reflective and it’s time I do something about it… write a blog post. Anyway, it’ll be Christmas before we know it and then it’s New Years’ Eve and 2017 begins. I can’t wait, I think it’s going to be an awesome year. Anyway, I haven’t done an awful lot of travelling this year, and even though I’ve experienced so much more through blogging, I still miss jetting off somewhere nice. Believe it or not, I’ve only had one beach holiday in my entire life, and it blew my mind. I also went to Oslo in 2015 – best city ever. Still, there are many more places I want to go.

My Top Five Bonfire Night Essentials

3 November 2016

Northampton, UK
Bonfire night is full of magic. A night under a sea of stars, warmed by a crackling fire while fireworks dance above – it’s fun for all. Bonfire night varies for me each year, sometimes I love to be right in the middle, surrounded by villagers and neighbours. Other years, I prefer to have my close friends with me while we have our own little party in my garden. Either way, it’s a night many in the UK look forward to because, well… fireworks are awesome. As with any event, I always have essentials. Can I find five major essentials from one store? Challenge accepted.

My Favourite 'Cheer Me Up' Playlists

28 October 2016

Shipley, UK
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you'll know I had my wisdom teeth extracted on Wednesday and I'm certainly feeling the aftermath of having bone ripped from my face. So far, my experience has not been very pleasant, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. The extraction itself was fine, although the root of my right tooth was so strong a second dentist had to tug at my face until it budged. The pain came after the bleeding slowed down, the happy gas wore off and my face swelling almost disappeared. The biggest struggle is definitely only being able to have soup and yogurt for 90% of my meals - I need a burger!
