Resources to Support the Black Lives Matter Movement

08/06/2020
An embroidery hoop on a white lace fabric elegantly displays the words "Black Lives Matter" stitched in black thread. Below the powerful text, vibrant embroidered flowers and lush green leaves add a beautiful decorative touch.

Here are some resources to support the Black Lives Matter Movement. Now a time to stand up, stand together and make a change. I’m not sure where to even begin with this post. I’ve always considered myself as a non-racist person and as a supporter of black lives. I’ve always called out any racism I’ve seen or heard taking place around me. I have tried my best to…

Recreating Our Favourite Gousto Meals Ourselves

03/06/2020
A close-up of a tortilla wrapped on a blue floral-patterned lap, recreating our favorite Gousto meals. The tortilla is topped with shrimp, avocado, lettuce, and other ingredients. Nearby, there are small bowls with additional toppings and a spoon.

Is Gousto worth the money? I recreated some of our favourite Gousto meals buying the ingredients ourselves. Was it cheaper or not? Recently, my boyfriend and I messed up our Gousto order so had to skip a week. Normally, we’d head to ALDI and just buy ingredients for a bunch of cheap fail safe meals. But this time around, we decided to challenge ourselves to make our favourite…

Stardew Valley Diary: Spring

27/05/2020
A pixelated scene from the Stardew Valley Diary shows a man standing near a purple traveling cart with a green roof. The cart is pulled by a purple pig, and various items are visible for sale. The in-game date and time are displayed as Fri 19, 2:50 pm, in the top right corner.

From overworked and disgruntled employee to country pumpkin bumpkin – here’s a diary of my first season in Stardew Valley! In the last month, I’ve totally become addicted to a fun mobile game (although it’s available on other platforms) called Stardew Valley. This sweet little game consists of looking after a farm, mingling with town folk, attending village fairs and taking part in different missions to extend in…

My Experience of Moving into My First Home

A bathtub scene with a wooden tray holding a book titled "Stay Sexy & Don't Get Murdered," a glass of white wine, and a potted cactus. The bathtub has bubbles, and nearby are various bathing items, including a plant, scrubbers, and a face mask packet.

I recently moved into my first home – a lovely house in the heart of Milton Keynes. Here’s what the process was like for a first-time mover! Despite moving into a new house with my boyfriend in January, this is the first time I’ll ‘properly’ be living with a boy. Even though I’ve just turned 30, this is the first time I’ve properly done this. I briefly moved…

What I’ve Been Reading in Lockdown

12/05/2020
A coffee table with a black book titled "My Favorite Murder" by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, featuring a red circular badge and multicolored text. Next to the book is a small green succulent plant in a white pot with pebbles. It's what I've been reading during lockdown.

With so much time on my hands lately, I’ve been working my way through my ‘to-be-read’ pile of books. Here’s what I’ve been reading! Predictably, I’ve been reading a lot more since being on lockdown. I’ve found getting through my ‘to be read’ pile has really helped me come to terms with what’s going. I.e ignoring the outside world and transporting me to a completely different world inside…
