* ad pr trip – the following was a press trip to Gran Canaria through Jet2Holidays. This review and the social media content is an honest reflection of my solo travel experience and was written at my own discretion. “If Not Now, Then When?” my friend asked me… It was the end of November 2023 and I was having a strong moment of self doubt and second guessing myself… We were talking about whether I was confident enough to dip my toe into solo travel and go abroad alone when an opportunity had arisen for me to do so as a press trip (how exciting). Or perhaps whether I should wait until the new ye ..read more

* ad – the following is a paid partnership with Lands’ End, sharing info about the brand and a plus size coat I received from them. This blog is an honest reflection of my thoughts. Christmas is right around the corner and we are fully amongst the chilly months. If you’re stuck on what to get for any of your loved ones as a gift, and you’re after something that will fit them well (regardless their size), and is both useful and cute – worry no more! I found a lovely plus size coat on there recently! What better gift than a new jacket or coat to help keep them toasty this winter? Allow me to int ..read more

* ad – the following is a paid partnership with Visit Wales, sharing things to do in Wales for your next trip. However this has not affected my opinion of the trip. This blog is an honest reflection of my thoughts & experience visiting the country of Wales. Keep reading to the end for a jam packed itinerary for inspo! Deciding where to spend your hard earned time off can be tricky, but for those of us in the UK with Wales right there, it’s not only an obvious choice, but also a very excellent one.  Following a recent visit, these are, in my humble opinion, 3 of the best activities you ..read more

After 2 years (!) away (almost to the day to the day, geez), it is time to relaunch my colourful little corner of the Internet, and venture back into the Blogosphere! A place I will, as I did before – ramble about my thoughts and feelings, places I’ve been, vegan food I’ve eaten – basically things I’ve enjoyed, aaand perhaps some things I haven’t! It feels like the time to come back into the Blogosphere: nearly everyone I know who creates content is feeling the strain of social media. How temperamental and tumultuous things like: following, reach, engagement, and vanity metrics, can be. Feelin ..read more

ad – the following is a paid partnership with My-Picture.co.uk, however this has not affected my opinion of the products and this blog is an honest reflection of my thoughts & experience with the brand. Keep reading to the end of a discount code! 2020 has been incredibly different to how everyone expected, and it’s meant a lot of us have spent more time inside our homes. In turn many of us have been making them much nicer with artwork (whilst still dreaming of adventures). I’ve focussed some of my time curating a gallery wall in my bedroom, which is coming along quite nicely! Even more so ..read more

After a brief 18 month (lol), unintentional hiatus, she’s back again… She being me… And this is the second time I’ve had a long unexpected hiatus without an explanation (read about the first time here). Long Caption Crew ’til I die I love writing and I’m regularly part of the Long Caption Crew™ on instagram. I’m just a bit pants when it comes to sitting down and writing an actual blog. Something about the permanence of it (still) freaks me out, more than an instagram caption does, which writing it out, I realise is incredibly silly. Instagram captions are permanent too… Hair Change (again) Sin ..read more
