OK, a while ago I started a weekly catch up post on a Sunday because I missed the chatty side of blogging and it felt like there was loads on my mind that I wanted to share. Turns out that my life wasn't exciting enough to make it into a weekly thing as I ran out of things to tell you around week three. 😂. But I think I could possibly have enough going on that I could make it a monthly thing instead so that's what this is - the first of many (or at least a couple) month catch ups!I'll go first, shall I?  I had a bit of an accident about a week and a half ago which is why I've … [Read more...]

This post is a collaboration with O2, but as always, all thoughts and experiences are my own.At the start of this year, I made a promise to myself that this would be the year that I would really focus on myself - both physically and mentally and three months in, I've made some big differences.  My iPhone 12 has been a great source of help to me and has helped me to make changes to my well-being routine so I thought I'd give you a bit of a wellness update from me and also share a couple of the different things I've been doing that have made a difference to my own personal wellbeing so … [Read more...]

How do we feel about menstrual cups ladies? I'm a relatively new convert but now that I am, I want to share my experience with you. I'm going to tell you about the brand I use and also recommend what I think is the best menstrual cup for mums.I never thought I'd be someone who could be comfortable with wearing a menstrual cup and only bought one to try after a couple of people raved so much about them.  Don't get me wrong, I love the idea in theory but the idea of it put me off as did the fact I was convinced I wouldn't feel like it was secure and I'd be super conscious all day … [Read more...]

I know that lots of us are thinking about how to reduce energy consumption at home right now with the impending price hikes so I thought I'd share a few reminders on what you can do to reduce your own energy usage right now. I got my email from Bulb over the weekend about the specifics of what my prices were going up to and I won't lie, despite seeing all of the news about how bad it was going to be over the last few months still didn't prepare me for the numbers in that email.
