You know I love a good pre-loved find. 😀 And I love them even more when they turn out to be worth more than I paid for them - but how do I find out that they're worth more than I paid for them? Since moving into our old Victorian house, we’ve been much more intentional about buying second-hand and vintage pieces for our home. Our old IKEA flatpacks did the job perfectly well in our last house, but they just don’t feel quite right here somehow. This house has high ceilings, old fireplaces, creaky floors and lots of character, so we’ve been trying to find pieces that feel like … [Read more...]
Turkish Towels vs Regular: Which Wins?
I'll be honest, I'd never really given towels much thought until recently. A towel was a towel as far as I was concerned, and as long as it dried me after a shower, I was happy.Over the last year or so though, I've become a bit more interested in our home and the little details that make it feel nicer. I've noticed that almost every time I'm looking at inspiration for bathroom interiors, whether that's on Pinterest or Instagram, I keep spotting Turkish towels. They're always draped over a towel rail or folded neatly on a shelf and they just seem to make a bathroom look effortlessly … [Read more...]
How to do a Digital Declutter…
Now is the time to do a digital declutter and today, I'm going to give you some tips and tricks on how you can declutter and simplify your digital life.I can't recommend a digital declutter enough. I can't work at a messy desk because it drives me mad and, as daft as it sounds when there are much bigger things to worry about in the world, it genuinely stresses me out. I'm exactly the same with my phone and laptop. When my inbox is overflowing, my desktop is covered in random files, my phone is constantly pinging and I can't find the photos or documents I need, it all starts to feel a bit … [Read more...]
10 ways to keep cool on a budget….
I originally published this post a few years ago but with the heatwave we’re having at the moment and the fact that our new house seems to hold heat like an actual greenhouse, I’ve found myself coming back to it and looking for every possible way to keep cool again. 😂Our old Victorian house is lovely in lots of ways but once the heat gets in, it really likes to hang around which means we’ve been trying all sorts over the last couple of weeks just to make things a bit more comfortable without relying on fans running constantly. Some of these are things we’ve done for years, some … [Read more...]
Five little things that have saved us money this week {26th June 2026}….
Every week I share five small things we’ve done to save a bit of money, make life easier or help us spend more intentionally. None of them are usually huge on their own, but that’s kind of the point. Those small choices add up over time and give us more room for the things that really matter — whether that’s days out, holidays, home projects, treats we’ll actually enjoy or just a bit more breathing space in the budget. I mean, what a week we've had! I think I can safely say we saved money this week without even thinking about it as it was too hot to venture too far from … [Read more...]
This month’s pre-loved finds {June 2026}….
Welcome to my monthly pre-loved bargain post, which is always one of my favourite posts to write. 😀There's something so satisfying about finding something you genuinely need or love second-hand, especially when it costs a fraction of what it would have done new.This month's finds are a real mixture of practical purchases, home finds and a couple of things that I bought because they made me smile when I spotted them. Some were charity shop finds, some came from Facebook Marketplace and a few were the sort of bargains that make you do a little happy dance when you get them home. … [Read more...]
