Is there anything better to perk up a grey day than a fresh bunch of flowers? No, I thought not. So when Blossoming Gifts got in touch and asked if I’d like to receive one of their bouquets, of course I said yes! After whiling away half an hour on their website (because how can…
Transitional dressing is HARD people. Living in London is hard because the weather is ridiculous. Right now it’s warm, but rainy and windy. So it’s damn near impossible to dress for the occasion. I was actually in a bit of a clothing funk, not really liking anything in my wardrobe because nothing felt appropriate. I…
A recent visit to one of my favourite London coffee shops – Dillons, found it had been transformed into a Harry Potter Wonderland, so I figured it was about time I featured it on my Lattes and Laptops series – because who doesn’t love Harry Potter? The coffee shop was a new addition to the…
Connor and I are so busy these days that, mostly, the time we do get to spend together is spent sleeping. With Con in the final months of his Masters degree, and only a few weeks to go until I launch my new business, quality time spent together is almost a distant memory. Last week…

You guys know my Starbucks addiction is real (real disturbing, especially when the baristas know my order before I ask), and after the positive reaction to my last Starbucks Hacks post, I figured it was time for another! Let’s start with my favourite summer order, a drink that tastes exactly like Twister Ice lollies. Simply order…
Oh August, where did you come from? It seems like only yesterday I was celebrating the arrival of Peony season and now that’s long gone. August is going to be an exciting month for me. My new business is launching at the end of the month and I’m equal parts nervous and excited. I can’t…
July has been a really odd month for me. Getting back to reality after a loss feels strange, I almost feel like I’m going through the motions but not really living life properly. I’m hoping that as the months pass things will get easier, but I hope that in the meantime you’ll excuse my somewhat…
