November always creeps up on me, and I think it’s easy to see this month as the dark precursor to winter, cold and sunless, with little going for it. I’m quite a fan of November though, I like the way the cold seems new and exciting (it’s not quite as exciting by December), and the…

How I Made Myself (More Of) A Morning Person
I’m pretty sure my mum is out there laughing at this blog post title, because I’ve been the exact opposite of a morning person my whole life. I remember as early as seven or eight my dad forcibly removing my duvet from the bed in the morning to make me get up, I just HATE…

The Warm Toned Eyeshadow Palettes You Need This Autumn
If you’d have asked me last year how I felt about warm toned eyeshadows, I’d have given you a hard pass thanks. Now though? I pretty much exclusively wear warm shadows. Perhaps it’s the still lingering tan from the seven month summer I had this year, but I just feel like I’ve gotten the hang…

How I’m Choosing Happy
It sounds odd doesn’t it, to say I’m choosing happy. Like, why would anyone choose to be unhappy? Well, you’d be surprised, throughout my life I’ve made a lot of choices that have led to unhappiness. I’ve chosen to dwell on negatives, chosen to hold grudges, chosen to not be my fullest, happiest self. And…

How To Spend a Day in Kensington
After four years living in London I certainly miss the city, but I have to say I really do appreciate my time spent in London now more for it. I get to hang out in places I wouldn’t necessarily have visited while I lived there, and I really make the most of my limited time…
