This Week I……

Good morning! How are we all today? Often I start my weekly diaries by declaring I have basically done NOTHING, but I don’t intend to let that stop me talking about it, oh no. This is not one of those weeks. This week has actually been pretty busy by my standards. That means that this

How to Make Candles from Vintage Glasses

One of my little luxuries is burning candles. I love the soft light they give off and how cosy they are. I have an open fire, and when that’s lit they make the room into a total den of cosiness. When I can’t be bothered with the faff of cleaning the grate, or it’s too

My Essential Products for Short Hair

It’s been 4 months since I had my hair chopped off. I’ve had it cut twice more since then, and its settled into itself a little. With much trial and error I’ve also figured out the best ways to dry it, style it, and keep it looking good with minimum effort. Figuring out what products

Things I Tried in January

Oh what a month. January has actually been quite good for me. Post Christmas I decided to spend a few weeks working on strength, particularly glutes and hamstrings, and on my hip flexibility. Then, yesterday, I started on the next phase of my program which involves a lot more jumping and sprinting, which is why

Playing With My New Toy

Mondays is normally outfit post day. No particular reason, it just often works out that over the weekend I have left the house wearing clothes and Monday seems a convenient time to share. Sometimes they’re very boring outfits, other times they’re fancy outfits, it’s nice to have a mix. Other times, of course, I might

This Week I……

Well, we’ve come to the end of another chilly and uneventful week. To make a change, I actually have quite a busy Sunday planned. I’m off to cover the first aid at a Roller Derby game this morning, thanks to my brand new Roller Derby first responder qualification, and then after that I’m heading to

How I Write

My occasional and sporadic posts about blogging are often promoted by questions people ask me. Last year I did think I might write regular monthly posts about blogging and self-employment. Seeing as I’ve been doing it for nearly 10 years I do know a thing or two about it. Well, obviously I didn’t write a

Rhubarb Vodka Sour

I think it’s time for a Cocktail, don’t you? Today I have a super simple recipe for a delicious twist on a sour. Normally made with whisky, this one is made with a delicious flavoured vodka, so it’s a lot sweeter, but no less boozy! Back in mid November I wrote a round-up of pretty much

A Beginners Guide to Macros

For a long time when I started this blog I would complain frequently about how I had no idea how to manage my diet in conjunction with my high activity levels. NHS guides would assess my weight and direct me to a couch to 5k program (while I was training for a Half Marathon) and
