As a British gal, when I hear the phrase November, I instantly think of cold weather. Even when I booked a trip to Florida for November 2019, I assumed the weather would be Spring-esque at a push; perfect for jeans, a light jumper, maybe a midi skirt on some sunny days. Boy, was I wrong…

"Imposter Syndrome". I’ve been seeing this phrase pop up all over my social media the past few weeks - “anyone got tips to help deal with imposter syndrome? xo”, “it’s an imposter syndrome kind of day”, “reaaaally feeling out of place at this conference #impostersyndrome”.

(I've just realised this title makes it sound like I will be discussing emo and indie inspired Halloween plans, which I am unfortunately not - although, I think I am on to something here...). Anyway - It’s spooky time! Time for pumpkin carving, Beetlejuice, mulled cider, and a heck tonne of sweets. It’s also when…

It’s fair to say that I am a busy bee. I work full time in Higher Education, run an arts and theatre company on the side, blog throughout the week, am completing a part-time Masters, and trying to maintain strong health and fitness, personal relationships, and not burn out (goodness, even reading that makes my…

Finally, we are moving away from the awkward ‘need a jumper in the morning, and shorts in the afternoon’ weather, and into turtleneck season! With September done and gone, I deem Autumn to be well and truly here. Autumn is when I thrive; I’m a rainy day, hot cup of tea, crispy leaves kind of…

Last month, I was scrolling through my blog feed and a post immediately caught my eye. I excitedly scrawled down the title in my blog planner, to be saved for another day. Lo and behold, the post was 'Adventures of a Bibliophile’s' Seven Deadly Sins Book Tag! I have never done a tag, let alone a…
