One of the main reasons I wanted to move to London was the diversity of the city. I grew up in a small country town with a predominantly white middle class population and a serious lack of diversity. Having been to mainly international universities, with people from all over the world, moving back made me feel very much like a fish out of water. I felt like I needed to live somewhere where there were people from all over the world and where they spoke English. So, London was the obvious choice. I love exploring different cultures and their customs and traditions and London is the perfect pla ..read more

If you’ve read my previous skincare posts, you may know that I have very problematic skin. It’s extremely oily and acne prone and I get eczema a lot too. Unfortunately a great deal of this is genetic (thanks, dad!), so it can’t completely be “cured”. But thankfully a healthy diet and a good skincare routine can make a big difference. Over the past decades skincare has become more and more inclusive to different skin types, so that’s good news for those with problematic skin.

When I first moved to London I made a whole bucket list of places I wanted to see in the springtime. I had only seen the city in autumn and Christmas time and I so wanted to see how the city would look different when it was in bloom. Now this is harder than it looks, because this is nature. And nature has a will of its own! The trees bloom in their own time and sometimes you arrive at a spot at the crack of dawn. Your trusty camera in hand, and the blossom is either gone, or it hasn’t started blooming yet. I know, frustrating right! But over the years I’ve made a bit of a guide, so hear me ..read more

Jump to Recipe Lately things have been super stressful with my job, and so I’ve been in a desperate need for good old fashioned comfort food. And this Mac N Cheese is the ultimate comfort food recipe. Quick, easy to make and only needs a few ingredients you probably already have in your cupboard, so it’s cheap too. What more do you want? If you are vegan or lactose intolerant and you’re reading this thinking: “Holy cow, that is a lot of dairy!”, don’t fret. All the ingredients (even the cheese) have dairy-free versions you can shop at the bottom. To make enough for 2, you need: 250g macaroni ..read more
