I don't know why but music's not something that I find myself blogging about that often. Which is kind of strange because it's something that I love. Although this year, mostly because of a pretty…
What comes to your mind when you think about a country like Colombia? Coffee? Drug barons? Music? Caribbean coast beaches? Colombia might have found itself one of Lonely Planet's recommended places to visit for 2017,…
Summer is over in the Northern Hemisphere, so too is peak holiday season. Due to school holidays and the sunniest weather, June–August is by far the busiest time of year for airlines and travel agents;…
With Autumn here and the winter months fast approaching, you'd think that working on our backyard would be the least of my worries right now. And sure, my boyfriend would probably be inclined to agree...…
When it comes to wild camping, there's no better place for an adventure than the Lake District. There's no feeling like getting away from everything and venturing out into the great outdoors. Sure, wild camping…
I've always romanticised the idea of camping. Open skies, crackling fires, crisp mornings. I blame Enid Blyton and Arthur Ransome books, and reading way too many adventure stories as a kid, for distilling in me the…
I've always been a fan of vintage clothing, but in the last few years, it feels like it's kind of dried up in Newcastle. As an old fan of Nasty Gal, of course I succumbed…
Endless wheat fields, Cyprus trees and terracotta roofs. Tuscany is one of those places that I've wanted to visit for as long as I can remember. The serene landscape with its rolling hills stretches out…
Living somewhere that's rented, you do sometimes have to make do with things that aren't really very you. Like a green fabric sofa, that I never would've chosen! But accessorised with soft mint cushions, we…
I've been blogging now for almost a decade. And while that's kind of a terrifying thought, I can honestly say that in so many ways, starting a blog has completely changed my life. I've gotten…
It's been almost a year since I fell in love with the beautiful island of Crete. The birthplace of the Minoans, the first advanced society on European soil, this Aegean gem is rich in not…
Summer months are made for minimal makeup. When the weather starts getting warmer, I'm always in favour of sporting a more natural look. One that's less effort and more get up and go. Partly because…
Picture this, you've spent months trawling Rightmove and visiting place after place. After weeks of house hunting you're finally settled - you're going for an old (probably Victorian) terrace. So now you've got an idea…
Between moving house and two trips, it's been a pretty hectic month but our new little home is practically all sorted. From feeling like we've been living amongst boxes of stuff for such a long…
Situated in a Grade II listed stately home retreat in Staffordshire, Hoar Cross Hall feels like a world away from Newcastle. But when a spa offers you an overnight stay with a few blogger babes…
When it comes to travel, there's one thing that has always been high on my priority list. It's not seeing as many places as possible. It's not visiting all the traditional tourist traps. Sure, I…
It feels fitting to be posting about a pasta bar while I’m lying in bed in a hotel room at Tuscany… albeit strangely fitting when said pasta bar is in Newcastle though not Italy. But…
Everyone knows that lighting makes a room. So when it comes to your garden, it's obvious that the same rules apply. Now that we've finally started to settle in the new place, and now we…
It’s not every day you’re invited down to London to visit the HQ of one of your favourite brands. But if you’re following me on Instagram, you’ll know already that’s exactly what happened to me…
