The Unexpected Things That Made My Career What It Is Today
If you had asked me ten years ago what my career would look like, I can say with complete confidence that marketing would not have been my answer. Not even close. I did not grow up dreaming of campaigns, strategies, or leading a department. In fact, I fell into marketing…

From Brainstorm to Publish: My Content Game Plan
by quite some time, I mean well over a decade. In fact, I have now been sharing my life online for more than half of it, which, when you really stop and think about it, feels slightly surreal. With that level of consistency comes the need for structure. Creativity may be the heart of what…

The Metrics That Keep My Digital World Going Round
As I have mentioned before, alongside this blog, I work full-time in marketing. It is a space I have grown into over many years, gradually building both experience and confidence. During that time, I have learnt a great deal about the digital landscape, particularly when it comes to understanding how people interact with content online….

From Chaos to Clicks: Top Blogging Lessons
I have been blogging for an incredibly long time now. Long enough that I sometimes forget there are people entering the space today who were probably still in primary school when I first started uploading grainy photos and typing away into the internet void. And while parts of blogging have changed dramatically over the years,…

What I’ve Truly Achieved Since Hitting “Publish”
There is no denying that creating my first blog all of those years ago has provided me with some amazing opportunities. It is never lost on me that I am incredibly fortunate position. However, none of it landed in my lap. I have worked incredibly hard for the opportunities that have been given and for…

Marketing, Meetings and Making It Work
Away from my little corner of the internet, I am working in marketing as a Head of Department. When I was growing up, I had no idea what marketing was and never in a million years did I think that this would be my career. I most certainly fell into this career path and now…

Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Soft Matte Powder Bronzer Review
It takes a lot for me to get excited about a bronzer. I feel like once you find one that works, you cling onto it for dear life and refuse to be tempted by anything new. However, when Rare Beauty launched the Warm Wishes Soft Matte Powder Bronzer, I was intrigued. The brand has a…

Should We Think More About Gel Manicures?
Today, I want to share a post all about gel manicures. If you have been reading here for a while, you will know they have long been a staple in my routine. I have written about them countless times, and for good reason. For me, they have always felt like a no-brainer. They are long-lasting,…

Wrinkles, Wisdom and Why I’m Embracing Both
As I write this post, I am just a few weeks shy of turning 29 years old. A couple of months ago, I am pretty ashamed to say that I had a freak out about getting older. I was thinking about inching closer to thirty and my mind went into overdrive. So I thought in…

A Little Life Update: Coffee-Fuelled, Overworked and Under Moisturised
How the hell are we in June already? It feels like only yesterday that I was sitting down and sharing with you guys my first post of this year, and here we are, almost halfway through the year already. With that said, May was bloody amazing. One of the best months of the year. I…

Caffeine, Therapy and Mild Chaos: A Survival Guide
There is a version of me that wakes up at 6am, drinks a green juice, journals for twenty minutes and greets the day like a well-adjusted adult. Unfortunately, that version of me is fictional. The real version wakes up, checks emails before her eyes are fully open, mentally lists twelve things she is already behind…

The Catch Up Nobody Asked For (But Here We Are)
April was a strange month, and yet somehow, in the same breath, it was filled with moments that felt quietly magical. As we eased into the softer edges of spring, I found myself wrapped up in family life in a way that felt both chaotic and completely grounding. I never quite understood the cultural obsession…

Four Weeks, Twelve Crises and A Lot Of Lip Glosses
Who can believe that we are already in April? I am not going to lie, life is passing by so quickly that sometimes when I sit down to draft these posts, I feel slightly overwhelmed that another month has already gone. There was a time in my life when I would be desperate for the…

My Life Between Coffee Breaks: A Short Memoir
There is a version of my life that looks very polished from the outside. The finished makeup. The structured calendar. The carefully worded blog posts. But if you zoom in, really zoom in, you will find that my days are stitched together in the margins. In the in-between moments. In the space between one coffee…

January: The Month I Tried To Do It All (And Somehow Did Enough)
For the new year, I am going to bring back the good old-fashioned favourites post. I can remember when I first started blogging, these were my favourite posts to write. I liked to believe that it was the only time I could see the good products through the huge over-consumerism and actually get to the…

Real Life, Pain and Regretful Online Shopping
In every monthly update that I share with you, I am honest. Sometimes to a detriment. However, because I share the shiny side of life, I also want to be honest and share the times when I am not bursting with sunshine and floating on cloud nine. In February, I spent more time in the…

Another Month, Another Overshare
I feel like I say this every single month when I sit down to write this post, but I truly cannot believe how quickly time passes. One minute I am vaguely recovering from the chaos of Christmas, and the next I am already halfway through January, blinking at the calendar like it has played some…

The Fendi Baguette Review: Expensive, Iconic and Completely Worth the Obsession
There are some bags you buy because they are practical. There are others you buy because they fill a gap in your wardrobe. And then there are bags you buy because they have lived rent free in your mind for years and refusing them feels less like financial restraint and more like self-betrayal. The iconic…

No, I’m Not Selling My Hermes Handbags
There has been a very specific shift over the past couple of years, and if you have even the slightest interest in luxury fashion, you will have seen it unfolding in real time. Women are quietly, and sometimes quite publicly, selling their Hermès bags. Not because they have fallen out of love with them, not…

Confessions From The Bottom Of My Bag
Today, I am turning back the clock and writing a classic what’s in my bag post. If you have been around the blogging world for a very long time, you will know these posts absolutely dominated the internet back in the early 2010s. Honestly, I do not think there was a single blogger alive in…

The Designer Bags I’ll Never Let Go Of
There are certain things in life that feel like milestones. Not the obvious ones like buying a house or landing a job, but the quieter, more personal markers of who you are and what you love. For me, handbags have always sat firmly in that category. Long before I could afford them, I was obsessed….

Closet Confidential: The Rules I Live By for Getting Dressed
I have always admired the women who can throw on something wildly unexpected and look like they were born to do it. The clashing prints, the exaggerated silhouettes, the colours that feel one shade away from chaos. I watch them the way one watches modern art, impressed but slightly confused. The truth is, that is…

Hangers, Heels, and Harmony: My Closet Secret
There are two types of wardrobes in this world. The kind that look like a serene Pinterest board where everything hangs in tonal order, and the kind that resemble a fabric based crime scene by Thursday evening. I have been both women at different stages of my life. If you have been reading here for…
