For the love of food.
“Hey babe, what do you want for dinner?” In our house it’s Luis Cooks (as opposed to Andy – or Paco, as the photos might suggest!), so when it comes to the kitchen – and all the gadgets we have littering the countertop – it’s his domain. Having invested in the
A modern guide to Old Guatemala.
I can’t believe it’s taken me over a year since returning from our epic trip around Guatemala to begin compiling content from it! Truth be told, the start to 2022 wasn’t quite what I’d envisioned; being quarantined for 10 days in an ensuite bedroom with my boyfriend, having tested positive
Discover the Dubrovnik Riviera.
I’ve long had the Dalmation Coast of Croatia on my bucket list for a summer holiday spent island-hopping across the Adriatic on a catamaran. Less on my radar – until now – was a trip to explore the Croatian mainland; namely, the Dubrovnik Riviera.At the southern tip of Croatia’s long
Unlock the power of plants.
Even pre-pandemic, I spent a lot of time indoors. Working from home as a freelancer can all too easily mean your daily commute is from bed to desk to sofa and back again, without leaving the house for days on end. In fact, as a predominantly urban dwelling population, it has
New surrounds.
They say a change is as good as a rest, and while I wouldn’t go quite so far as to say my new home office brings me as much joy as, say, a two week Caribbean vacation might have, I’m going to say it’s pretty close. Ok, maybe not pretty
Skincare matters.
As I enter the final year of my third decade, with the big 4-0 looming on the horizon, my appreciation for – and experimentation with – skincare is dramatically evolving. I spent my teens, twenties and early thirties with only one consideration when it came to my skincare routine: will this
Liberty Ocean.
Long-term readers will remember that not long after I moved up to Manchester (five years ago now!), I swapped my old clunky office chair for a sleek – and incredibly aesthetically pleasing – Liberty task chair from Humanscale. I’ve always believed that investing in a high quality ergonomic chair is
Hola, Paquito!
I’ve never had a pet before. Growing up, I always wanted a cat, but my mum was severely allergic, and it turned out I was too, which generally put paid to attempts to foster a furry friend of any kind. So when my boyfriend started talking about us getting a
A renaissance, of sorts.
Drumrolllllll, please! I’m back. I mean, I never really went away, but over the past few years posting has been a little sporadic to say the least, and I’m painfully aware that the majority of my recent posts have been paid partnerships. Something I swore to myself I wouldn’t let
The world’s first purifying steamer.
Travelling during a global pandemic can be fraught with anxiety and concern. When we made the decision to travel to Guatemala to spend Christmas and New Year with my boyfriend’s family, whom he had not seen in over two years, we spent a lot of time weighing up the pros
A new look for Autumn.
The transition between seasons is often when I feel most inspired to make changes within my home. I can’t quite believe it but we’ve been in our ‘new place’ for a year now, having moved in late September 2020. It feels both like yesterday and a lifetime ago, as can
