IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! Oh yes, it’s that wonderful part of the year where the Autumn Winter range drops into Lush. I was lucky enough to swing by their Creative Showcase (photos of that here), and whilst I has an amazing time, the queues were so long I decided to pick…
Staying on top of your to do list is hard at the best of times, but especially when life is getting in the way. September has been a manic month for me in so many ways, aside from the fact that this is the month we leave London (tonight is our last night in the…
It’s now officially autumn, so I can now talk about it as much as I want, and nobody is allowed to get annoyed at me – woohoo! It might technically be autumn but I still feel like we’re in autumn prep mode – with the last few days of summer still sneaking in here and…

Update your room for Fall. A new blanket, a bowl of conkers, fresh flowers, or painted pumpkins. Make a roast dinner. Preferably with a…
:: Fairy Lights :: The simple joy of a string of fairy lights is highly undervalued in our society. I have a string of copper beauties above my bed that add a little glow to my life. :: A New Magazine :: If you read yesterday’s post you’ll know all about my love for magazines….
When it comes to magazines, I have a little bit of a problem. Perhaps that’s what happens when you have a degree in journalism, you become addicted to buying magazines wherever you go.
