What Mama Wore – ALEXI jewellery review & giveaway

February 29, 2016

I spend my days working from home, home-educating my kiddos and down on my knees playing with a toddler. I’ve developed something of a ‘mum uniform’… more often than not, you’ll find me wearing jeans, a Breton top and trainers. They’re comfy and practical, don’t look so shabby I can’t pop out in them or...

#WomanKind

February 26, 2016

After my ramblings the other day on Self-Image, I was amazed at the response I received – how many other woman said that they felt the same way, that they were their own worst enemies and were often overly critical of the way that they look on a daily basis. The same day I blogged...

I touched on my battles with depression, my poor self-image and my history of eating disorders. Over the past couple of years I’ve shied...

Six reasons why I’d love to visit Iceland

February 22, 2016

I have to be honest, and until I met G, Iceland would never have been somewhere on my ‘travel wishlist’. I’m more of a sunshine kinda gal – not necessarily just beach holidays, I love visiting cities too and immersing myself in the local culture and history. I don’t do well with the cold, so...

Review | ReStyle – Retro Prints + a giveaway

February 22, 2016

One of my favourite prints that I have hanging in my house is this ‘Some Like It Hot’ coffee print. It arrived, mysteriously, a few years ago… it was obviously bought for me as a gift, but I’m not sure by whom… anyway, fast forward a couple of years, and when we moved to this...
