Hello, and how are you? Last night (ok, late last night!) I wrote a blog post which was basically a bit of a ‘clearing the fog’ from my brain and got me realising how much I’ve been missing blogging. Sometimes it takes a bit of a break to appreciate how much you need something in your life, so here I am again today, having a chat with you all over…
We've been home and in a kind of self-made self-isolation for just over a week now, but today is the first day that schools are closed and our imagined norm is now a new reality...

As you may already know, I’ve been planning a lovely giveaway for you, using my birthday as a nice excuse to give you guys a present from me – a massive birthday giveaway worth over £895! I’m especially happy to be sharing this post with you because I’ve been planning this one for a while aka January! I have a box here chock-full of goodies from most of my…
If you follow me on Instagram (if not, click here right now), you’ll know that for the last fortnight, I’ve been doing #FrugalFebruary, a self-imposed challenge to stop the mindless shopping for beauty and style items that I seem to buy on an almost daily basis with hardly a thought as to whether I actually need it or not. What’s been great is to see how many of you…
