Category: Lifestyle

Lifestyle is my most broad category covering a wide range of topics across our everyday lives. Home, garden, DIY, beauty, fitness, health and so on, this is the place to find a variety of tips, first-hand experience and ideas.

I felt that it was important to cover all of these on my blog as parenting can go deeper than just those typical how to parent type posts and our well-being as parents is just as valuable. Giving an insight into what I struggle with, what I get up to, what I find helps and honest product reviews will all help you through your own parenting journey too… I hope!

Okay, coffee. We love it, right? That rich, aromatic jolt that kickstarts the morning, fuels our workdays, and maybe even gives us a reason to take five and breathe.

Our beloved ritual, comforting as it is, can quietly contribute to some pretty serious environmental waste. Kind of hard to unsee once you know.

When my eyesight began to deteriorate at the age of 9, I thought the idea of wearing glasses was pretty cool. However, over the coming years, with my eyes worsening and my lenses getting thicker with each prescription change, my view drastically altered. We all know that school in the 90s was tough, but add thick rimmed glasses into the mix and you are immediately seen as a good target for jokes (you know the ones, the classic four-eyes and so on). By the age of 15, I was begging my Mum for contact lenses and even though she was reluctant at first, she did finally agree, which brought me so much joy. I could now look how I had always wanted, I could do sports without any worry, I had fewer headaches because I had peripheral vision – no more fuzzy edges when looking through the side of glasses – and of course, kids couldn’t make jokes anymore.
