Today I had the day off work so me and my mum decided to spend the day in Bakewell - the town where Bakewell tarts come from! We stopped for lunch and a cake before heading down to the river to chat in the sun. The weather turned out nice today so we sat for…
Mother’s Day Prep
I haven't written a blog for quite a few weeks now, but with Mother's Day just around the corner I've been quite busy getting things ready. I'm very lucky to have the mum that I have. I see her as my best friend, someone I can go to with any problem knowing she will always…
Ninja-bread Men!
Happy first of the month! Today is the first day of my no-social-media challenge, and since I seem to have a lot of time on my hands, I decided to do some more baking! Last week my mum bought me these ninja-bread men cutters for my birthday, and I just had to try them out!…
A Week Away
I haven't posted anything this past week because I've been away on a much-needed holiday!

I was scrolling through my photos and I came across some that I took before this blog started when I went to an Aquarium in Plymouth with my mum. I absolutely love aquariums, they're so interesting and magical. This particular one had a lot of large tanks where we spent a lot of time just…
Saving Turtles in Costa Rica
Today, I found this old post I wrote back in 2013 for Oyster Worldwide after returning from Costa Rica where I volunteered on a sea turtle conservation project. It brought back so many memories that I just had to share it! Even now, it's still the biggest thing I've ever done, travelling alone and facing…
Halloween
This was the first year that I've celebrated Halloween in my own house, so I decided to go all out on the decorations. Halloween for me is usually a night where I turn all the lights off and pretend I'm not at home (I can't be the only one?) so I tried to make an…
