I know… I’m rubbish. Since starting my job in October, this blog has taken somewhat of a hit. I’m sorry! However, as we fast approach 2019 (and yes one of my resolutions is to crack on with this again), I thought it would be rather apt to look back on the past 12 months and…

My Perception of the World Has Changed
I can only apologise for the lack of posts since starting my job. I’m so mentally pooped when I get home, it’s so hard to try and think of what to have for dinner not alone write a half decent blog post. If you’ve kept up to date with my blog, you will see that…
Do We Really Need A Side Hustle?
I will openly confess that from 2012 until earlier this year I was living under a rock and it still terrifies me how I managed to miss SO much of what was going on in the world. Despite having accounts with YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat, I remained oblivious to the rise of vloggers…

My 3 Week Wedding Celebrations Cost £13000
I have to say that I wasn’t one of those girls who spent their childhood/teens/twenties thinking about my perfect wedding – not because I didn’t want one; I just wasn’t sure it would happen (cue the violins). When Tim popped the question we really had to start from scratch of what our perfect wedding might…
Believe It or Not… It’s Possible to Eat and Be Healthy on a Budget.
Every one know’s pretty pictures of food lures people in! But don’t worry – this isn’t a post involving me being preachy about healthy eating. I was once watching a yoga video and when she told me to breathe like I had gills, I switched her off and went back to vegging on the sofa…
