AD | sponsored post in collaboration with Figured Art I’ve loved painting for as long as I could hold a paintbrush and know first hand not only the therapeutic benefits

Bloggers That Brunch

Well, nearly every one of my guests may have already blogged about this event but now I might just join in. Two Saturdays ago I hosted a little get together for some London bloggers over brunch. There was obviously A LOT of food, litres of juice and I think we all came away inspired and…

something for your screen

Happy end of the week! Boy I’m glad it’s the weekend and I may at least not be working for most of it! Things have been a bit light over here on the blog but balancing everything that’s been going on in October has been less than seamless. There have been tears. Lots of exciting…

The short response is I love it!…But the longer response would…
