I had a lovely surprise recently when Tom from The Doubting Thomas nominated me for the Ideal Inspiration Blogger Award. I hadn’t actually heard of this one before, so a huge thank you to Tom for the nomination.

My Favourite Songs Right Now | World Music Day 2020
Sunday 21st June was World Music Day, so I thought today I would honour the occasion with a special post. Music plays a pretty big part of my life, as I’m sure it does for all of us. I have playlists for pretty much everything - an anxiety playlist, a getting ready playlist, a cry… Continue reading My Favourite Songs Right Now | World Music Day 2020
Craft Gin Club Subscription Box Review | June 2020
The arrival of my Craft Gin Club delivery is probably my favourite part of the month. My god, what a sad little life, Jane. Although, we’re currently on day 1 million of lockdown. Drinking is all I have. Anyway, last month I decided to start reviewing my monthly gin club deliveries, and today is my… Continue reading Craft Gin Club Subscription Box Review | June 2020

Since I rediscovered my love of reading last year, I’ve been determined… Continue reading 6 Reads in 6 Months: January to June 2020
The Therapy Diaries 1 | School Counselling
You may be surprised to know that I’ve had A LOT of therapy. Or you might not. Since the age of probably around 14 or so, I’ve had some form of help for my mental health, and this has been in various forms. Enough of which to come up with a full blog series anyway.… Continue reading The Therapy Diaries 1 | School Counselling
May 2020 Wrap Up
I don’t know about anyone else, but despite the fact we’ve been in lockdown for the whole thing, May has actually been a pretty fast month. As of the 1st June, we're allowed to meet in small groups of 6 as long as it's outdoors. Great for those gagging to get the BBQ out, not… Continue reading May 2020 Wrap Up
Lockdown Silver Linings
I’ve seen a few of these posts over the last couple of weeks so I’ve decided to create my own. While the COVID-19 pandemic has well and truly fucked EVERYTHING up, a good way to keep our sanity can be to have a look at the silver linings of what lockdown has meant for us.… Continue reading Lockdown Silver Linings
