My Winter Reading List

My Winter Reading List

This is the time of year when we have a couple of weeks off and don't know what to do with ourselves. I have to constantly remind myself to do little things like reading otherwise I'd spend my whole time off watching Netflix! I have always been a bookworm, and hoard books like they're going extinct! Even though my Kindle is my travel companion, I miss having a physical book in my hand. When I feel like relaxing, I'm making myself reach for my books more, otherwise I just end up reading them when I go to bed (normally at a ridiculous time) and never really dedicate any proper time to them. I've decided to collate a selection of books to get into this winter- I'm currently reading Gone Girl, but I'm determined to get through as many of these as possible.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! 

Hope you all had a lovely day and took some time to relax! I spent it with my family and Chris's family, and the day was filled with laughter, tonnes of food and games galore! It's been one of those Christmas's where it's been very chilled out, which is nice when you've got a lot going on in your life. But with New Year around the corner, and lot's of exciting things going on next year, I've got plenty to look forward to!

Winter Dressing with Apricot

Winter Dressing with Apricot

Winter is officially here! Not necessarily in its traditional form- we’ve not seen a glimpse of snow in the Shire! More in the wintery, cold, rainy, windy sense. Not nice. Weather like this really makes dressing a pain, and it normally ends up with me snuggled in jeans, and thick jumpers. That’s all very well when you’re just running errands, but what happens when you actually want to go out somewhere nice? This is my constant struggle. But I normally get over this by standing in front of my wardrobe and having a long hard think. I want to be warm and stylish, and there are two essentials from Apricot that I've been reaching for this winter.

The Anything Goes Soup

The Anything Goes Soup

It's the time of year when we take pleasure in hot soup warming our bodies. It's a welcome treat to come home to after a cold day and is like a snuggly comfort blanket. Even though I love a good Heinz tomato soup, homemade soup is another treat altogether! You know exactly what's going into it, and it is so easy to make. There are honestly no rules, and you can even make it from leftovers!

What To Do In Cyprus

What To Do In Cyprus

Getting away from it all.

It's been a little while since I've posted! So hello guys. I've actually been filming on a really exciting project which I, unfortunately, can't tell you anything about. But let's just say that I've been getting up at silly times of the morning (3:30am was definitely the worst), working all day, getting home about 8:30/9pm and having to go straight to bed to repeat it all the again. So you can see why I've not been very vocal on the internet.

Trying Coffee Scrubs

Trying Coffee Scrubs

Here's to me covering my face in coffee

The whole coffee scrub craze has been around for a while already if you hadn't noticed. Yes, us beauty obsessed lot will try anything all for the sake of better skin, including putting something that normally gives us a kick up the butt in the morning on our skin. There is some logic in it- caffeine eye creams have had a firm standing in the beauty industry for many years, so why not go the full hog and put it everywhere?!

Last Taste of Summer with Hotel Chocolat

Last Taste of Summer with Hotel Chocolat

It's time to slip back into those jeans and tights!

I had a bit of a late start to autumn. As you may know, I hopped on a plane to Cyprus for a couple of weeks recently, and while I was away everyone on social media was getting excited about pumpkin spiced lattes and big scarves while I was sitting on the beach in my bikini! But now I'm back I'm slowly weening myself into the autumn mood.

How To Pack Like A Pro

How To Pack Like A Pro

I think I've nearly mastered the art of packing.

Let me tell you- this wasn't easy and took a very long while to come around. But I'm pretty confident now, and after going to Cyprus at the beginning of the month, I felt ready for the planning and packing. I'm definitely not perfect at packing, but I've been on a few short and long trips in my time (be it acting work or holidays) that I've found a system that I'm happy with.

My Current Summer Uniform

My Current Summer Uniform

What I've been wearing on repeat.

I go through fazes of wearing certain styles and outfit combos non-stop like I'm sure many of you do too. It's like a safety blanket when you need a pick-me-up, and when you're running late, it's got your back. I've always been about comfort, so I'm normally drawn to comfy pieces that show off my best features. When I find items of clothing and styles that I like, I end up buying them in bulk!

Some Things I've Learnt in 21 Years

Some Things I've Learnt in 21 Years

I can't believe I've been alive for that long either.

When I was younger, I always used to hate it when our family holidays went so quickly. It felt like we had only just arrived, but before I knew it we were packing up and heading home. That's when I learnt that time flies when you're having fun. And it has. The last 21 years seem like they've flown by.

Dressing For A City Festival

Dressing For A City Festival

I got taken to a festival.

I had to let that sink in for a very long while when I got the invitation. A company wanted to take little old me to a festival. This was something I didn’t think would happen, and if it did, when I was a much bigger blogger than I am now. But no, the invitation was there and there was nothing that was going to stop me going, not even a swollen foot (more on that later).

My Opinion On MintyCoco & Teeth Whitening

My Opinion On MintyCoco & Teeth Whitening

Time to get real about teeth.

I try to be as positive as possible on this little blog. Bad press is never normally welcome after all. So sometimes when a product doesn’t work out for me, I have to do one of two things; decide not to blog about it, or share my experience about it in case it works for someone else. Also, any criticisms I do have may be helpful to the brand to improve their product. So here we go with my first ‘opinion’ post.

5 Essentials For A Beach Holiday

5 Essentials for a Beach Holiday

It’s holiday time!

Seeing as the UK doesn’t understand that summer equals the sun, I’ve been dreaming of beach holidays lately. I’m actually jetting off in August- not sure where to yet, but the one thing we know is that it has to be near a beach! Whenever I know I’m going off on holiday soon, I like to stock up on some summery bits and pieces to get me in the mood. So whether you’re heading to Bali or Brighton this summer, here are my top 5 essentials for a beach holiday.

How I'm Changing My Blogging Mojo

How I'm Changing My Blogging Mojo

I’ve been thinking it’s time for a bit of change.

This month, I’ll be celebrating my 3rd blogging birthday. I still can’t quite believe that I’ve been writing nonsense on this little part of the internet for that long, but here we are. 2016. I never thought I would be where I am today, and even though I may not have gained major online success (never my intention really anyway), I definitely feel I’ve achieved a lot. 

But the blogging world has changed in a big way over the past three years. When I started, it was all about posting regularly, ideally daily, and getting your content seen that way. Now, it's more about the quality of your work, not the quantity, and networking the hell out of the industry! This change seems to have happened almost overnight, slowly creeping up on us and taking hold in one go, taking many by surprise. I've seen many bloggers and influencer's numbers drop and some swell well into the hundreds of thousands and, sometimes, millions!

So it's time to adapt. Change is good after all. I really love blogging and making my Youtube videos, and want to continue doing it alongside my acting, so I came up with a game plan that I'll be enforcing over the next few weeks, months and years to change up my blogging mojo.

What's New At The Cambridge Satchel Company

What's New At The Cambridge Satchel Company
Sometimes there’s a brand that you’ll always hold dear to you. 

Be it fashion, makeup or lifestyle, you know that that brand will be special and if you could, you would probably take shares in it. One of those brands for me, is The Cambridge Satchel Company. I remember buying my first satchel and I still use it regularly to this day. I also remember that the £113 price tag didn’t faze me (very unusual) but I guess this was my first purchase where I considered the price per wear. And boy has that satchel come a long way! CSC has some exciting products coming our way, including new backpacks, mini satchels, saddle bags and a very cool collab with a very cool designer.
