It's the 23rd of December and the end of Blogmas is in sight. I've loved it but my god is it a lot of work! I'm actually so proud of myself that I managed to do it. Not only the writing but the planning, the photography, the promoting! Anyone that posts more than twice a …

My Top 3 Books of 2020 | Blogmas Day 22

6 Ways to Practice Self Care at Christmas | Blogmas Day 21

I think most people love Christmas; the celebrations, opportunities for socialising and all round joy. For the most part, it's such a happy time, the most wonderful time of the year you could say.

Online Christmas Party Outfit Ideas | Blogmas Day 15

One of the many things that are different about Christmas this year (is it just me or have you heard this phrase about a hundred times recently?) is that in person Christmas parties are a no-go. I went to my first office Christmas party last year and I'm sad there isn't going to be one …
