Hello! I'm Back!

How’ve you been this last week? I’m back after a lovely week off over my birthday. I’m older, but sadly not any wiser and not really enjoying the 1500 emails I have to wade through now I’ve got back! I started my break with a few days in a small cottage in Suffolk. I watched

The National Vintage Awards

Probably as you read this I am doing something really fun. I might be reading a book in the sunny garden with some Pimms, or by a rain spattered window with some spiked hot chocolate. Or perhaps I’m watching Poirot and drinking a Manhattan, a popular hobby of mine, or popping to the local pub

#HollandandBarrettBuddies

Recently I was contacted by Holland and Barratt to take part in a buddies campaign where we’d be given a budget to buy some goodies for a partner to try out. I like this kind of thing, I love the chance to try and find out about people and pick things that they’ll love, so

Triumph #WomenInMaking

Today’s post is otherwise known as “Awesome Weekend Pt.3”. After leaving Old Spitalfields I jumped on the tube to shoot across to Covent Garden to pay a visit to the “pop up experiential brand space” that is Maison Triumph. This was one of those bizarre coincidence things. Triumph are currently running a competition, of sorts,

66 Happy Days……

I’m 2 thirds of the way through my 100 Happy Days adventure. It’s been interesting, some days it’s been easy to find something that makes me happy, others it’s been more of a struggle to cut through a fog of stress and and remember there are lovely things in the world. I find myself looking
