My First Foray Into Etsy

My First Foray Into Etsy

We always hear the phrase 'Every cloud has a silver lining' but often it can be tricky to root out the silver lining and so it's often overlooked. However, that is not the case here. Let's start with the cloud...a couple of weeks ago I was made redundant...at 24... you don't hear that everyday! I'd already started vaguely looking into new jobs...

5 Pins I'm Loving {4}

Apologies this is a couple of days late but none the less I've been spending an inordinate amount of time on Pinterest - nothing new there then! Here are the pins that I love the most and so quite frankly it would be rude not to share them with you.  1.

Homemade Lemonade With A Twist

Homemade Lemonade With A Twist

Fizzy drinks are a real weakness for me and I've never managed to cut them out of my diet entirely despite knowing how bad they are for me. Plus on a hot summer afternoon nothing can beat a refreshing glass of iced lemonade! So in preparation for those summer months (that feel a million miles away at the moment!) I've been looking into homemade...

Egg Free Cookie Dough

Egg Free Cookie Dough

After last week's healthy snack idea it seems the right time for me to be the little devil on your shoulder and throw an unhealthy snack idea into the mix. Whenever I bake I always seem to eat the majority of the mix before it's even been cooked which, considering most recipes contain egg, isn't the most sensible idea! But the good news is this...

I hope you guys have all had an amazing week and are having an even better weekend! What are you up to? I'm back at home with my parents this weekend and I think it's going to be the last time I'm in this house (that I've lived in since I was 18 months old) as they're moving house in March - sad times! If you're brave enough to say goodbye,...

Sweet & Salty Baked Chick Peas

Sweet & Salty Baked Chick Peas

Snacking can be one of the hardest habits to kick, especially if you work from home so you don't have someone raising their eyebrows every time you venture to the kitchen. There's nothing better to make you think twice than someone making you feel guilty. But what's even better than that? How about some healthy and super tasty snacks that will...

Gallery Wall Inspiration

Gallery Wall Inspiration

Gallery walls seem to be all the rage at the moment and I know I'm not alone in being more than a little obsessed with the idea. Living in a rented flat means that I can't have one at the moment - or not unless I want to repaint all the walls when I leave - so instead I just keep daydreaming of the gallery wall(s) I'll have when I move! How...

Explore: Broadway Market

If you've seen this post you'll know that I absolutely love exploring London's many markets - it's probably my favourite way to spend a weekend especially when the weathers nice. Broadway Market up in the East End is a relatively new discovery for me but it's already up there as one of my favourites.  Although I love pretty much any kind...
