Free Summer Desktop Wallpapers

Why hello all you out there! I’m hoping it feels a bit more Summery wherever you are in the world, but the UK definitely kissed the sunshine goodbye on Friday, just in time for a weekend of rainy planned BBQs. Us Brits press on in all weather’s, fighting against the adverse conditions to get those grilled…

Give A Plant A Home

Hello folks! I’m back with a quick and easy DIY idea for you all to rustle up. In a (possibly short lived) celebration of resurrecting my air plants, I decided to give them a new and improved home. I used my old time favourite, polymer clay to make my green friends king of their castle. I…

Rest & Recovery With Leesa

You may well remember back in April I was thinking a lot about getting better sleep, which I kickstarted by getting a new, snazzy . I ditched my very old, sprung version for Leesa’s luxury answer to a better night’s sleep, with 3 layers of high quality foam and boy could I feel it! The…

Copenhagen Part 1: Our Pad

If you follow me on any form of social media you’ll know that at the end of June we went to Copenhagen. It had been on our list of places to visit for so long that we were pumped to finally get there! We’ve had a love affair with all things Danish from afar, whether…

Behind The Screen: Heartache & Loss

Psalm 57:1 This behind the screen post was originally meant to follow on from the previous one on photography but I’m afraid life got in the way and everything’s been a bit up in the air. My promised photo editing post will have to be postponed until next time. In it’s place I thought it…

Styling The Seasons: July

A Pocket Full

I’ve said it before and it’s true, I really do love organisation DIY projects. Maybe it’s because life feels so hectic most of the time that any small ways I can help curb the crazy is very welcome. This project can help you organise any part of your home really but my initial thoughts were…

Birthday Fun Day

You may have noticed a gaping hole in my posts of late. I’ve had this post ready to go for over two weeks but decided to hold off pressing publish as it seemed kind of out of place and a bit light hearted for my current life events. Having said that some of these fun things to…

Turn 2 Placemats Into A Bag

A Whirlwind Trip To Venice

If you’ve been following along on my instagram or snapchat then you’ll know that last week I spent 3 days in Venice with Jo Malone for their global meet up.
