09/01/2020
A letter board displays goals reading "HEY 2019 - TRAVEL MORE, SPEND LESS, BE HAPPY." Below, a shadow box with a world map background and the phrase "This girl is adventu..." contains U.S. and U.K. currency notes alongside travel chips. Rolls of decorative tape lay nearby.

Looking for an easier way to save money? Here’s how to stash the cash with Chip app’s clever auto-save system – and bag an additional 0.17% AER boost.

Welcome, 2020

06/01/2020
Louise stands on a patio in a formal garden during a partly cloudy 2020 sunset. They are wearing a coat, jeans, a scarf, and a knit hat. Behind them stretches a manicured garden with geometric hedges, potted plants, and a backdrop of trees and a distant hill.

Welcome, 2020. It’s good to meet you at last! It’s weird to think that the last ten years have passed with so many changes.

I recently had the opportunity to head to The Vaults and check out Cinderella with/on behalf of Love Pop Ups: London. I enjoy anything that takes place at The Vaults. It’s such a quirky setting and…

BLOGGING | Is Lyrical Host’s Navigating SEO course worth the money?

27/11/2019
A desk with a laptop, a planner, a notebook with notes, pens, a potted succulent, and a coaster with the text "BUY ME PIZZA AND TELL ME I'M PRETTY!" sits alongside a weekly planner pad. The neat and organized scene suggests productivity in navigating SEO and effective planning.

I’ve recently thrown myself into Lyrical Host’s Navigating SEO course. As someone who usually steers clear of blogging courses, I wondered if it would be worth the £80 price tag. Here’s what I thought.. Although SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a very important part of blogging (and running a website), it can also be a huge ballache – especially if you don’t know where to start. I’ve been…
