Welcome back my travel giraffes! Can you believe we're in the middle of January already? 2020 is waiting for no one! Today's travel post is a bit of a reflection. It's always good to have a look back at where you've been to help you with your next steps forward. Welcome to my 2019 travel review.
Hey peeps! This is the week of reviews on the blog because I thought it could be inspirational. Or you could use it to pass time. Whatever floats your boat :). Plus it's always good to reflect on what you did so you can move forward. Today's post are the life lessons I learnt in 2019.
Happy New Year my travel giraffes! We have begun 2020, the start of a new decade. I'm not into this new year, new you but I am into creating goals and doing thing that serve me instead of things that don't. I'm also big into doing your holiday, your way. Nothing worse than going on holiday and not enjoying it. Probably a reason I'm a big advocate of solo travelling :). Anyway, here are some tips on crafting your holiday your way.
Hello my skincare junkies! You didn't really think that I would do blogmas and leave out skincare, did you? Oh no, I couldn't do that even if I tried! This post is all about the easy ways to care for your skin during the holidays.
You've made thoughtful and considered gift purchases. You probably read my ultimate gift guide to help ;). Now you've got to wrap them, or at least the physical gifts. So on the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, sustainable gift wrapping ideas.
On the 7th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, the single girl's guide to an epic Christmas. Whew that's a mouthful! There are many of us in the world who are single and have to deal with the Christmas marketing. You know the one where practically every advert showcases the perfect family. No one is ever single. It can get to a girl. So I'm here to guide you to an epic Christmas.
Hope you didn't get blown away too much by the wind in London? I have been recuperating from a packed week of Blogmas and my Fashion Photography course. I will tell you about the course later. We're back today with Day 6 of blogmas and it's handling grief during the Christmas season.

I've got more for you next week but you can catch up on Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4. Read on to know more about my Christmas giveaway part 1. Yes there's going to be a part 2 ;)
On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, NYE celebration ideas! You may be wondering why I'm already talking about NYE when there's still so much Christmassy stuff to do. Well, as you all know this is an expensive time of the year and if you want to do something special, being organised is key. Here are 5 European cities to celebrate NYE.
On the third day of Christmas of my true love gave to me, all the things to do in London for Christmas. It doesn't rhyme but you get the gist of it. No rambling, let's get into it.
Hello gorgeous and welcome to day 1 of my 12 days of Christmas or Blogmas. As the title suggests, we're going to be making a diy wreath. To be honest, the Christmas spirit left me awhile ago. However, I do love a bit of Christmas decorating. It always helps put me in the mood a little bit. Hopefully, it will help any of you other not feeling the Christmas spirit feel a little bit better. This is especially great if you don't have any decorations. Or if you have kids and would like a fun activity to do with them.
Hello my lovely giraffes! Welcome to my 12 days of Christmas where I post a blog everyday, except weekends, until Christmas eve. For the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, the ultimate Christmas gift guide for 2019!
Hello my lovely travel junkies. I'm back with another travel inspo blog post for you. This is for those of you who are looking for a quick solo trip getaway.

Hello my lovely giraffes. How have you been? It's been incredibly cold here in the UK and I am convinced that autumn has left the building.

Another skincare post for you this week but instead of talking about the latest product and treatment. I’m sharing advice I would give my younger self about skincare, in the hopes it helps any under 35’s. Actually, I hope it helps anyone who is currently abusing their skin.

Hello my lovely giraffes! What's shaking in your neck of the woods? We all know by now that I love to travel. If you didn't, you know now :). As much as I love to travel and see new exciting places, it isn't perfect. I'm here to share 5 things no one tells you about travel and they're not the good things.
Hello my travel giraffes! How are you doing the start of this autumn? I'm still wishing for summer but, I do enjoy watching the leaves turn to warmer hues. Anyways, I've been told a few times that I'm 'brave' for travelling solo and I think everyone is able to this. More and more people in their 30's are taking time out to travel to places they've dreamed of for years. To be honest I think it's the best time to travel because you have more disposable income and most are established in their careers. Plus you are more confident in who you are as a person and are willing to try new experiences. So if you're itching to take that solo trip then here's how to travel solo when you're over 30.
Hello my lovely giraffes, in today's post I've got another Rinse and Restyle styling post for you. This one is about the one shoulder top which was made popular by Max Mara and Zara.

Hello my skincare junkies, I've got a review for you today from Fresh. This is a brand I've seen around for some time but was put off by the price tag. I was browsing Cultbeauty who started to stock Fresh and they had travel sized versions. This made it more affordable and allowed me to trial the products for over a month (and counting). Enough waffling, here's my Fresh Beauty review.
I'm back again this week my skincare junkies. This time I'm sharing 5 easy skincare mistakes people make. We've all made these mistakes at some point in our skincare journey.
