podcasts have become increasingly popular over the past few years, particularly over the course of the pandemic as we have a little bit more time for ourselves. i have become an avid fan of listening to them, whether that be whilst i'm getting ready, doing housework, light uni study or even when on a run.

MY ‘YEAR OF YES’

CHRISTMAS 2020 PLANS + QUIZ!
i'm keeping this post simple, firstly because i, like many people, am bored of the Covid-19 puns and references, so i thought i would write a short one about my Christmas plans and share my CHRISTMAS QUIZ with you that i have made! (keep reading!) like many, these will be very different than other years [...]
SKYDIVING – WHAT TO EXPECT
It's become apparent that this year has been a write-off in terms of experience for many people. i have found myself reflecting more on the stuff i have done in the past years, one of them being my charity skydive last year. i've ALWAYS wanted to do one. It was just perfect timing that Fitzroy, [...]
SOAP + GLORY VITAMIN C FACIAL WASH
First, let's be specific. This post refers to the 'Face Soap and Clarity 3-in-1 Daily Detox Vitamin C facial wash'. Phew! I've been using this glorious facial wash for about 4 years now and there are a few good reasons why I've continued to use it. I've always been a big fan of Soap & [...]

REVIEW – FEATHER AND DOWN LOTION + SPRAY
I've tried to find various reviews on the Feather&Down Sweet Dreams pillow spray and body lotion, but haven't been successful, so I thought I would create my own. I managed to get these both in a duo pack after Christmas for about £4. I don't believe they sell the body lotion on its own, however [...]
LIZ EARLE VS ALDI HOT CLOTH CLEANSER
I won't lie, I was quite excited to compare the Liz Earle cleanser to the Aldi dupe! I'd been waiting a while for Aldi stocks to come back in and voilà! Now I've used the Liz Earle cleanser before, but stopped as it hurt my eyes. But a few years later, I gave it another [...]
