I think food might be my love language. I love eating food, sharing food with others and having food made for me. When lockdown was instated in London, I suddenly found myself seeking comfort in the kitchen (like everyone else in the world) – and these bagels are one of my top recipes (that I keep going back to).

This ramen is SO easy. We literally make it once a week (J usually requests it at least three times a week) with store cupboard staples. Every time I post a photo of this ramen to my Instagram stories, I get so many messages asking for the recipe.

This little staycation felt so restorative and happy – just what we needed at a time when we were meant to be at home. While the majority of this weekend holiday was spent sans makeup, in the evenings, we did dress up for our dinner reservations which meant (for the first time in what felt like ages) I was reunited with some of my favourite makeup products.

I’m sure this isn’t the first time you’re hearing this, but science suggests outer-health begins within. What you eat can really affect the internal happenings in your body, and maintaining a healthy gut directly affects overall health. Don’t get me wrong, I still love wine and a cheeky takeaway when we can’t be bothered to cook, but I’ve been more focused on fueling my body with food that makes it feel its best.

Before I sound like every other writer ever, hear me out. For me, coffee does not = best self. I’m not one who needs her morning java or carries around a mug with the words: no coffee, no talk-ee on it. I’m perfectly functional without my morning coffee (in fact, most days I don’t have my first cup until late morning/noon).

In the two years we’ve lived ‘across the pond’, there are some aspects of the UK that I’ve really grown to love and appreciate. The below list isn’t a round-up of the major perks to living in London, rather they’re small details that are easy to overlook but deserve an appreciation post (in my opinion).

“Where have you gone Joe Dimaggio? A nation turns it’s lonely eyes on you…” I know it’s not of the Simon and Garfunkel proportions, but I’ve been pretty MIA lately. It’s funny because when I wrote my first post after returning from Jamaica, I was so excited to amp up this blog even further with […]

It’s hard to believe we’re already into March! I feel like January was just last week. I thought I’d write another health and wellness update for you all. Long story short: I didn’t lose the thirty pounds I was hoping to, but that’s okay because I think I’ve done a lot better. I have learned a lot about myself in the last three months: I’m obsessed with the scale, I don’t eat nearly as many veggies as I should and I’m still a terrible runner. But…

I don’t know about you guys, but it is starting to feel like spring in Chicago! The weather has taken a turn for the warmer and I’ve been able to run outdoors, wear only a spring jacket and ditch my winter boots for lighter options. Does anyone else feel like their mood and preferences are totally dependent on the weather outside? If it’s warm and sunny, you can bet I’m craving a margarita – and in the colder months, I’m most likely curled up at home with an old fashioned…

I can’t believe it’s February already – January flew by and Chicago treated us to a somewhat mild month (compared to previous January averages). This means that sticking to my resolutions of treating my body with kindness through regular exercise and nutritious food was a lot easier. While most of my running happened on the treadmill, I was lucky enough to get outdoors a couple of times in milder (see: foggy) weather to train. And it felt so. damn. good…
