The last week of November in Australia is one of the most anticipated and awaited time of the year for every student ending their 12th year of school. After surviving a hectic year preparing for and taking finals, researching universities and finishing up various school-related activities, students look forward to sunny days, beaches and relaxation with cooling drinks and their friends. This week of anticipated…

You should all know by now that I am quite the Essex fan; I love living where I do and am such an advocate for everyone moving out of London to Essex! A lot of people I’ve spoken to are really anti-Essex and it baffles me as it’s far better than people make out! We have so many great place, great assets and are so…

When I shot these photos I was fully convinced that football was coming home, England were going to win the World Cup, our country would have lost their minds celebrating and there would a lot of sick days with people nursing hangovers, but alas, as I type this football is on a temporary holiday in France.

So yes, I…

As you will have seen from my last post or on my Instagram Stories, I recently spent a couple of nights in Leeds visiting friends. I traveled up by train with Hayley from London’s Kings Cross to Leeds station in jut over 2 hours for £40 return which I thought was dead speedy and great value! We wanted to stay near to the station as…

*This is a collaborative post. With all this crazy heat we have going on right now, it’s not only ourselves we need to look after in summer!
