I know a lot of people complain about the January Blues, but it’s February I have a hard time muddling my way through. Christmas feels like a distant memory, my birthday is over and the countdown until I return to work has officially begun. To say I’m distraught at the prospect of my…
I don’t want to play the ‘I’m a mum – poor me!’ card, but trying to find the time to sit down and get lost in a book nowadays is almost impossible. If I do find the time, I’m often plagued by blogger guilt and find some other task or…
I intended to have this post written and posted before the revival, but clearly, that didn’t happen. I don’t claim to be a die-hard fan, I didn’t watch the series way back in 2000 when the first episode aired, in fact, I watched it for the first time only a couple of…
Is this possibly the most ‘Instagramable’ book of all time? Probably. They say never judge a book by the cover, but let’s face it, a great many of us do. There’s no denying the cover of Meik Wiking’s bestselling guide to happiness is a thing of immense beauty. The calming pale blue…
Yesterday, I received a very belated wedding gift (we were married July 14th, 2015) from my brother. You’d think that I would be annoyed that it took so long for me to get my hands on it, but I can honestly say that it was worth the wait. My brother is…
On Thursday I attended the Specsavers Scottish Press show in Glasgow hosted at BoConcept, a stunning home decor showroom that displays their stunning collection of contemporary and stylish furniture. The event showcased Specsavers recent collaborations with designers such as Moschino, Max&Co, Karl Lagerfeld and Cath Kidston. There were some seriously beautiful frames on…
I don’t use the word often, but I absolutely HATE horror films. I wish I could watch one and enjoy the suspense, giggle at the parts that make me jump, root for the underdog and take joy at the villain’s demise, but unfortunately, I watch them frozen in a constant of…
Every year I wish autumn away. I’ve always thought of it as the countdown to Christmas, the buildup to the main event. I hate all things spooky and I haven’t been out on Guy Fawkes in years, instead, I choose to snuggle with my terrified dog and watch the displays from…
I was very kindly sent this cute diary and sticky notepad months ago from Busy B, however, it’s only until recently I’ve actually managed to get my act together and truly get organised. I don’t know what it is about new stationery, but give me a few new pens and some…
One year ago today I stood patently in my room at Orocco Pier waiting for my dad to come and collect me, take me downstairs, walk me down the aisle and marry my best friend. One year ago today. A lot can happen in a year. Since 14th July 2015…

* Warning contains Spoilers! * I consider myself a Potterhead. My depth in knowledge of the wizarding world may not be quite as extensive compared to others but nevertheless, it was the series of books, films and soundtracks that made my childhood utterly magical and because of that Harry Potter will…
“Robert Pinkerton used to say that a lie was like a dead coyote. The longer you leave it, the more it smells.” Did you catch my 2016 Reading Challenge post? I’ve decided to set myself a little challenge; to read 50 books from of a diverse range of genres, themes and authors. I’ve…
“There is no cure for being who you truly are…” Did you catch last week’s post about my 2016 Reading Challenge? I’ve decided to set myself a little challenge; to read 50 books from of a diverse range of genres, themes and authors. I’ve made a list of 50 categories to help achieve this which…
This is the first post I’ve written about my adventures in Florida. To say we had a magical time is a bit of a cliche but it’s also incredibly accurate! I had already been to Universal Studios on family holidays years ago, because of this I had already been on…
