So I've been a bit lax on the old blogging front, because, well y'know, life and stuff. But one thing I haven't shied away from this year is eating. Constantly. It's the Chinese year of the pig and also you could argue the Charlie Bond year of the pig too. But really, all this eating [...]
5 of the best beaches to visit in Kent
Today I want to talk about something that's really close to my heart...something that I feel has really changed my life and made me feel differently about myself. And that thing is the humble midi dress. Since leaving as editor of So Magazine last year, I still contribute to their fashion and beauty section, and [...]
Spring has sprung (ish) and in true British form, as soon as we see a hint of daffodil, we're shivering outside sipping wine, having barbecues and slathering on the fake tan so we can wear one of 50,000 midi dresses we've bought. (Just me?! Seriously, I can't stop. Send help.) And while this time of [...]
Every time I visit Canterbury, I think about writing a post about it...and then I get swept up doing something else (booking holidays, drinking wine, taking pictures of my cats) and forget. But today I've just come back from a holiday and can't afford to book another one, have been drinking all week so don't [...]
Warning: contains avocado and lots of it... If there's one thing I love more than I love wine*, it's brunch. On a weekday, my breakfast tends to consist of a cereal bar/ whatever I can find in the work kitchen/ a biscuit because I couldn't find anything suitable. But weekends are a different story [...]
So, a little over a year ago I thought it would be a great idea to make a 30 before 30 list. 30 challenges for myself to complete before I hit the big 3-0. If there's one thing I love, it's a to-do list. Sometimes, when I finish something that wasn't on my list, I [...]
Fame the Musical has been around a long old time. 30 years in fact - the same amount of time that I've been on this planet. And embarrassingly, up until now I'd never seen it - musical or its movie predecessor. Of course, I listen to enough Absolute 80s to know all the words to [...]
There were a lot of things I obsessed about when I was getting married. The seating plan, the amount of teaspoons needed and the weather were high on my priority list, but worrying about who was going to walk me down the aisle was never really a concern. My dad passed away when I was [...]
So it's Easter day, which is also commonly known as 'stuff your face with chocolate' day. Literally what could be better than waking up and thinking 'yep, instead of eating my normal toast, I'm going to eat a WHOLE chocolate egg, followed by some smaller ones, for good measure'? Things get a little less fun [...]
