I Don't Do Florals, Apart from When I Do

I don’t really do florals. I scrolled back through my outfit posts to make sure I wasn’t a massive liar before I made such a sweeping statement, and whilst you’ll find me in all sorts of prints in 2015, there wasn’t a floral to be seen. In 2014 I dipped my toe a couple of

Compression Leggings on Trial

Compression leggings are something that I had my eye on for ages. I’d read loads about their ability to improve recovery times, decrease muscle damage during workouts and generally stop your legs feeling so darn tired on long runs and I wanted a pair so much.

Do Clothes Have a Gender?

The other day I had an email about a unisex, gender-fluid clothing line. I headed off to take a look and was disappointed to discover just shirts and trousers. £200 shirts and trousers at that.

This Week I……

Well, it’s been a funny old week. Well, actually it’s not been funny at all, featuring the deaths of 2 hugely popular and well loved stars, David Bowie and Alan Rickman.

Weird and Wonderful Smoothie Ingredients

I reckon that the Nutribullet, or is it’s similar blendy, smoothie making sisters, have to be one of the most purchased items this January? I base this on no evidence whatsoever, other than the fact that I know several people have recently bought one and that every time I walk into a shop it seems

The 5 Biggest Mistakes I Made When I Became Self Employed

Being self-employed is a dream for a lot of people. They imagine themselves throwing off the shackles of the 9-5 to do their own thing, working on their laptop in coffee shops, taking time off whenever they feel like it and, especially when we’re talking about being a self-employed blogger, getting all sorts of freebies.

This Week I

Goodness me, can you believe we’re only a week into a brand spanking new year? That certainly got going quickly didn’t it? Looking back over my week things that happened last weekend feel like they were another life time ago already. Even though technically not an awful lot has happened at all. Anyway, this week
