Reminiscing on our trip to Mykonos is always such a pleasure so today I thought I'd share some of our favourite restaurants and bars that we visited on our trip.

From past experience we've found that it can be quite overwhelming wandering around a new place where ...

Saying Goodbye
The past two weeks have undoubtedly been the hardest of my life so far, I had to say goodbye to my beloved Grandma who has been such an integral part of my upbringing not to mention one of the kindest, most warm hearted and special people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

But something I have learnt over the past couple of years is that life isn't all about ticking ...

I've never really been one to give up on things, I think it's mainly due to my stubborn nature but sometimes it does get tough to keep picking yourself up time after time... This was basically my life 3 months ago, I was in a job I hated and dreaded turning up to every morning. It felt like a real step back from my role at AO.com and I even started to wonder whether I'd made a huge mistake ...
How to Get the Glow for Summer
So when it comes to being bronzed I guess you could say I'm a little obsessed...But as I fail to get a real tan from even a two week holiday abroad I really do have to fake it 'til I make it! When it comes to fake tan I've tried a LOT. Some turn out patchy, some smell funny, lots aren't dark enough. It always feels like a bit of a stab in the dark when you're stood looking at an aisle full of ...
A Quick Life Update
It's been a good long while since I last posted so I thought it was about time I checked in to let you know what I've been up to and why I haven't managed to find the time to blog! So I guess one of the main reasons I've been a bit MIA is that I started a new job! If you follow me on social media then you'll probably know all about this but I realised that I haven't actually announced it on ...
