Sustainable Christmas Gift Guide
I won’t lie, at this point I’m starting to resent this blog post, because having written it all, it then decided to delete itself…twice! However I think it’s an important point so I am persevering to bring you a sustainable Christmas Gift Guide. So you might have noticed all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals which have been floating around recently *read- bombarding your inbox*. These sales have essentially been trying to make us buy more and more stuff we don’t need. Consuming all this extra stuff is very unsustainable and often leads you to buy things you don’t need. Granted you’ll be wanting to buy people Christmas presents…

December Birthday Fun | Blogmas Day 19
Oooops I did it again (If I channel my inner Britney will you forgive me?). I went quiet over the weekend again, but not without good reason, I’ve been super busy with not one but two birthdays in the last few days!! First up was my Mum’s on Thursday, just before I finished Uni. We just went for a nice lunch at Zizzi’s (my fave place for pasta) with my Dad and grandparents and then had a little wander around the shops. Like the bad blogger I am I forgot to take any photos of us or the food, my bad. It was a really lovely day, even though we…

Last Day Of Term | Blogmas Day 15
So today I’ve finally made it to the end of the first semester of Uni, thank god! It’s been a long term with lots of stress, assignments and also a dissertation looming in the background. It’s so strange to think that I’m now halfway through 3rd year and I only have one term left as a student, *screams internally*. I thought I’d spend today’s post talking through how Uni’s had me feeling for the past 3 months so maybe any other students reading will realise it’s not just them feeling this way. 3rd year has been a huge step up from 2nd in terms of work load, I’m doing one…

House Christmas Day | Blogmas Day 14
Last night my house at Uni was in full festive mode as we hosted Christmas Day before we all go home for proper Christmas! Me, Abi, Danielle, Amy and Sam had a full evening of gifts, food, matching pyjamas and games and it was lovely. I thought I’d talk you through the night and what gifts we all received as part of our Secret Santa Swap- again this might be handy if you’ve got a last minute gift to buy for someone. A few weeks ago we all picked names at random to decide who we would be purchasing a gift for, the limit was £10, although I think we…

Neal’s Yard Remedies Surprise | Blogmas Day 12 & 13
Slap on the wrist for me, yesterday I slipped up and didn’t post for blogmas, I managed 11 days before this happened so I think I did pretty well. You know how December is, we’ve all got a million and one sets of plans to try and see all of our friends and family before the big day and alongside work it just caught up with me. However I’m back today with a rather exciting post! You might remember that last week I went to a Blogger Event at the new Neal’s Yard Remedies store in Meadowhall, when I was there, there was a chance to win a beautiful hamper…
