What Self Care Truly Means To Me | AD
-this post is a paid partnership with Dove-
Self-care is one of those phrases that turned into a little bit of a buzz word a few years ago. It seemed to be a little bit of a trend, but there should be nothing trendy about taking good care of yourself so you can pour from a full cup into all the aspects of your life…
The Best Of My Make-Up Brushes
-this post contains PR samples-
Over the years, I’ve built up quite the collection of make-up tools and I’m a brush girl through and through when it comes to applying products. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt is that if you invest in a decent brush it’s something that you’ll be able to keep for years as long as you take good care of them…
A Few Summer Favourites
-this post contains PR samples-
It feels like it’s been forever since I wrote about anything fun and frivolous so I’m really looking forward to writing this post. Naturally, with everything going on in the world there have been more important things to use my platform for rather than materialistic things. All that being said, I have been looking forward to chatting about all the things…
Your Weekend Reading, Watch & Listen List #20
Whilst the weather is absolutely glorious today the rest of July has been pretty abysmal weather-wise, I’ve worn my Winter coat and a jumper far more than I’d like to admit. So, this means I’ve been watching, listening, and reading to a whole lot more than I would have done if the weather was like it is this morning. I’ve found some real gems lately…

-this post contains PR samples-
Every time without fail I go to write about anything remotely related to sunshine the weather turns into nothing short of a monsoon. Whilst I can no longer don my favourite summer dresses in the current climate I’m still applying SPF daily without fail. Something that never even entered my head…
Let's Talk: Creatively Lulls In Lockdown
Hi, Hello? Remember me? Whilst, I know I don’t *have* to apologise for not posting anything I want to as I truly didn’t mean to be so quiet on the blog front or on the internet in general, to be honest. When lockdown in the UK was announced I thought it would be a time where I would get back into the swing of things with blogging…
The Joy of Knitting | AD
-this post is a paid partnership with LoveCrafts-
If I could go back to my twenty-year-old self and tell that her in a few years instead of going out shopping she would be spending her money on yarn and teaching herself how to knit, she probably wouldn’t have believed you. A few years ago, during a particularly anxious time in my life, I taught myself how to knit…
Coming Off The Pill: 3 Months On
It’s officially been over 3 months since I decided I was finally ready to stop taking the contraceptive pill. Those 3 months have passed by at a rapid rate but so many things have changed in that time for me. When I took my last Cilest pill, I wasn’t sure what to expect but my brain was prepared for things to be hard…
Ways To Support The Black Lives Matter Movement Now & Forever
This week is one that will go down in history and I hope it sparks an extremely overdue conversation between people forever. For far too long, I’ve shamefully sat on the sidelines too worried about saying the wrong thing which is absolutely not ok. It’s so wrong…
