“The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.” - Steve Furtick As I write this, it's Sunday evening.

On 20th January I turned 22! I had 3 birthday cakes (yes, 3 because my Mum is an absolute baking queen and all round babe), drank plenty of prosecco and spent the day with my nearest and dearest. But besides singing my heart out to Taylor Swift, I also reflected on what I've learnt thus [...]

University: the best three years of your life. Except, that’s not always the case. I’ve discussed my University experience a lot on here. In fact, I recorded my University experience as I went through it – my blog became an outlet and at times a diary. My first year of University was one of the [...]
Hey everybody! Last weekend I went up to visit Jack in Leamington Spa and we went to a really cute little cafe by the river called Procaffeinate with some friends. Today, I thought I'd do a little look book for you as it was such a pretty evening. Despite living in the area for 3 [...]
