Guinness? In a cupcake? Yes. What is St. Patrick's Day?From my research, this special day celebrates the St Patrick's death, a patron saint in Ireland. It involves certain traditions of coming together, sharing a few drinks, hosting Irish-themed parades, donning some shamrocks and green attire; I also learned it is a national holiday for Ireland!

Travel Essentials
It's official, I'm going on holiday! This is a long overdue break that I am not ashamed to admit that I DESERVE. It's important you take some time out for yourself, which is what I'm doing! Obligatory goofy 'I'm going on holiday!' pic. I'm heading to Gran Canaria at the end of the month, so [...]
Chatty Week – Being Reflective
What did you want to be when you 'grew up'? Where are you now? How are you, really? Are you happy? These are questions I have been coming back to and asking myself a whole lot more during my time at uni and particularly on placement. 'You're wishing your life away' someone at work said; [...]
A VISIT TO…BRIGHTON
Brighton. Oh heck, what a place, I loved it! At the start of this month I visited the sunny, yet very windy, beach town on the East Sussex coast with a friend. Tip: if you're thinking of heading to Brighton, the traffic and parking is so crazy, so I would recommend driving to Lewes which [...]
Velvety Valentine’s Cookies
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so I thought this would be the perfect time to share a recipe for cakey red velvet and white chocolate cookies! If you're loved up or single pringle, these are delicious, whatever the occasion, you can share these or scoff them all to yourself which I have been [...]

Quick Lunch Ideas #1
This week's post was a sudden change to my original plan after a lightbulb moment from one of the girls at work: 'omg I'm running out of lunch ideas, I just want something healthy' *lightbulb moment for Lizzie* This aims to provide some ideas to those wanting some new inspiration, or to make an adjustment [...]
A VISIT TO…BLETCHLEY PARK
At the end of last month (or the last decade!), I went to the small, yet famous, Bletchley Park; most commonly recognised from World War II and the film 'The Imitation Game' featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley (which is also one of my favourite films). Normally I don't do spontaneous very well, however I [...]
New Year, New Decade
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I thought I would give us all a few days to recover before getting back into the blogging and work routine. I wanted to take this opportunity to focus on my goals and potentially the decade - what do I really want to achieve? THE DECADE CharityI have done a skydive and [...]
