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. Just seeing it written down made it really personal which I know makes no sense at all as I was fully … [Read more...]

I hate when those little bobbles appear on my favourite clothes and up until now, I've never found a foolproof way to get rid of them. I have now though so today, I'm going to tell you how you can remove bobbles from your clothes and make them look as good as new again!First up, what actually causes those pesky little bobbles?
