So it finally happened! After months of living under the same roof as my parents, my brother AND my dog, Quentin and I have finally got our own place!
Monthly Memo: June Edition
Well, well, well, another month is officially over and can you believe we’ve already reached the middle of 2020?! Anyone else laughing at their optimistic past-self, ringing in the bells with proclamations that THIS was going to be our year? The year we were going Continue reading “Monthly Memo: June Edition”
My Sustainable Fashion Journey: An Update
If you’ve been following my Blog or my Instagram for a while now, you’ll know that over the past year or so, I’ve been trying to implement some changes into my life in a bid to live more sustainably. Since August, one area that I wanted to particularly focus on was my wardrobe (you can read my original post here) and since lockdown has left with me with a LOT of spare hours on my hands, I thought it was high time I wrote an update!

It’s the little things in life
‘Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone?’
Reasons to be cheerful
Remember when we collectively agreed that 2020 was going to be our year? Well…three months in and we’ve already had massive bush fires in Australia, extreme flooding throughout the UK and now we’re all being forced to self-isolate due to a global pandemic.

The Handmaids Tale: A review
Lets go back a few years, 6 to be specific, to 2013 when I first came across the author Margaret Atwood. Having just eagerly devoured Daphne du Maurier’s ‘Rebecca’ for my Advanced Higher English class, I’d been tasked with the rather difficult mission of finding the perfect accompanying novel (that likewise contained strong female characters) in order to write my dissertation.
