Bookshelf reorganisation + books I can’t wait to read

July 9, 2020.Reading time 8 minutes.

It wasn’t until J repeated my plan back to me that I realised just how crazy I sounded: ‘I want to organise our bookshelves according to colour.’

Learning to love running (again) + running tips

July 7, 2020.Reading time 8 minutes.

While my love/hate relationship with running often errs on the side of hate, I can’t deny how good it feels once it’s over. Plus, with the right music, trainers and route, an outdoor run, alone, can be just the thing to clear your head and improve your mood.

My five: quarantine edition

July 3, 2020.Reading time 10 minutes.

If I have learned anything about myself in this quarantine it’s that I can not be trusted with ‘online window shopping’ after a glass or two of wine. I’d be lying if I said online shopping didn’t quickly become a quarantine hobby (alongside playing The Sims and binge-watching the Real Housewives and Selling Sunset series).

Our two year anniversary with london

July 3, 2020.Reading time 13 minutes.

I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss the London of six months ago: bustling streets, sardine-packed tube trains and overflowing pubs. At first, lockdown felt like a dreamy way to press pause on day-to-day life. We spent our hours outside of work playing video games, binge-watching Netflix’s most coveted series, navigating home workouts and reading an endless supply of books. Eventually, however, the days started to feel long, Netflix conquered and our flat smaller.

Hello again and welcome back

July 3, 2020.Reading time 6 minutes.

Wow, it has been a minute since I’ve written here. In an attempt to revive my old blog and get a bit more writing into my life, I thought I’d blow the dust off my little place on the internet to catch up with you all.

Life update – cheers from London!

September 13, 2018.Reading time 10 minutes.

For those who may not know, I recently moved to London with my husband, J. It was a big move and boy, have I realized some ‘things’ (to take a page from Kylie Jenner’s book).

The power of female friendships + tips to keep in touch

March 8, 2018.Reading time 11 minutes.

With today being International Women’s Day, I thought I’d chat about something a bit more personal because these last few days/months have had me eternally grateful for all of the people in my life, but most specifically the women in my life. It’s funny how as we grow older, we realize the value of those die hard, unconditional love kind of people in our lives…

My at-home uniform

February 22, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

I’d be lying if I said my weekday uniform hasn’t changed much since I swapped my office job for the freelance lifestyle. Blazers, tailored pants and blouses were quickly replaced by my comfiest joggers, large sweaters and pyjama sets. It wasn’t until I was two months into my new routine that I realized the toll […]

How I planned our elopement in five days + five tips for your own wedding planning

February 15, 2018.Reading time 13 minutes.

If you’ve followed this space since the very beginning, then you’ll know J and I’s love story is a funny one. We grew up just 10 kilometers apart, he worked at the fast food restaurant my friends and I would skip class to go to, and we had numerous mutual friends. In fact, one summer during university, I went to a house party in the city and J was there with his friends, yet we never met. I guess it just goes to show timing is everything…

A few of my favourite 2017-2018 finds

February 10, 2018.Reading time 7 minutes.

Like I mentioned in my last post, while I may have been on a slight blog hiatus, I was not on a hiatus from finding a few things I really, truly love. I’m the type of person who struggles to fit new things into my routine – especially if they don’t seem to easily flow with the other moving parts. Luckily for me, today’s favourite items fit seamlessly with my routines throughout the day.
