Beauty. Fashion. My preoccupations.
I started writing about my adventure in Paris last year and after the first month, I didn’t pick up my laptop again. I’ve spent the last week wondering why that was, and I came to one conclusion: When I moved to Paris I decided to just live. 2018 fed my soul in so many ways.
So, I have officially been in Paris for 18 days and have loved every minute of it! It honestly feels like i have been here for a lot longer than 2.5 weeks and I think that’s all thanks to me settling into a routine pretty quickly since arriving and having already made friends. Read more.
Focussing on myself and my “me-time” is something I’ve been working on for ages but haven’t really managed to get right. So last week, after the most severe anxiety attack I have ever experienced…
Last year I set out to read a book a month as part of my goals I wrote down in my bullet journal. Well, it turns out it was a little too ambitious and I sadly didn’t reach that target. What did I manage to finish reading?
The last time I published a post on my blog was on 5 October 2020. I’ve sat many times wondering if I should close this down, or keep it. And a big part of me couldn’t close it down.

Looking back over the years I’ve had a bit of a rollercoaster ride with my health.

If I sit back now and think about it, […]
When I choose new hair or body products, I am always very picky because if products are overly fragranced or perfumed, I usually end up with thrush or a UTI. I generally opt for fragrance-free products or plain / cream or white coloured products that don’t have colour or dye in them too — if […]
Ever felt like you weren’t good enough to land a new job so you didn’t even bother to apply to the ad you’d seen online? How often have you felt like you didn’t deserve the promotion you had worked so hard for, so you don’t bother to motivate for it? Ever felt like you weren’t prestigious enough at work because you didn’t have an MBA that so many of your colleagues had achieved? Or, you had to hide where you studied because it wasn’t at the institution that everyone regarded as the best?
On the whole, lockdown has been okay for me. I have loved working from home and being with Jack, and have not missed sitting in traffic on William Nicol every day. I feel safer indoors where I’m not being “exposed” to Covid and have control over my surroundings, what I touch, what I sanitise my […]
There have been so many times when I have written posts in my head while driving to work, sitting outside, and doing errands. I’m not too sure why I never just sat down and put them down on “paper” here, but if there’s one good thing to come out of Covid-19, it’s that I’m rediscovering […]
