This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Nordgreen I’ve always been a fan of the old ‘one item worn several ways’ thing, and in a world where using what we have over endlessly chasing ‘new in’ is becoming increasingly important, showing that off has become a way – albeit a small one – to encourage loving what you already own. In fact, if you… Continue reading One piece, two ways – but not as you might expect | Nordgreen’s The Philosopher
This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Nordgreen. It’s strange to think that I once thought nothing of spending whole lunchtimes on the high street, returning to my desk with armfuls of fast fashion, some of which I would wear once and then resign to the back of the wardrobe. And it’s also a very strange… Continue reading How my approach to fashion has changed – and the Danish watch brand I love
I’m writing this on the sofa, on a Sunday afternoon. I’ve got a mug of tea – currently too hot to drink – and we’ve just been for an approximately 3 minute long trip to the recycling bank at the end of the road. It’s really, really lovely out there right now, the type of charming spring early evening that seems to hold a lot of promise. I will say that perhaps that promise might have… Continue reading Gosh, we simply must catch up on all of the nothing I’ve been doing
Well, reader: the world is a strange place right now (how many times have you heard that in the past few weeks?!). With an appreciation for the little things seemingly more heightened and routine habits and hobbies valued more than ever, things to read, watch and listen to have begun to take on a new importance for me; there… Continue reading Read.

For someone who has – honest! - taken some steps to make her bathroom a little less wasteful, the amount I’d been putting a menstrual cup off was a bit embarrassing. It was always something I’d do ‘next period’, except that next period I’d inevitably buy a box of tampons and then think ‘well, I'd better use these up first’. Last week,… Continue reading I used a menstrual cup for the first time and here’s how I got on
Before we start, I feel I should acknowledge the current situation the world finds itself in; clearly, not very many people are going to be doing any travelling anytime soon, and this not intended as a suggestion that anyone does. Instead, it’s an account of my own trip there at the end of last year,… Continue reading Three nights in Porto | Travel diary
I’ve never written anything about films because, if I do say so myself, I have truly terrible taste in them. But then I put up an Instagram post the other day about noughties films, and apparently everyone else does too! Congratulations, all of us. So, let’s face it; we’re living in strange and unsettling times. People will naturally deal with this in different… Continue reading 30 noughties films for anyone who needs a bit of nostalgia right now
This was supposed to be just another one of my week in work outfits posts, the twist being that I’m working from home right now, which given the current situation is not really a twist at all. I’ll tell you what happened: I really wanted to get dressed a bit more *properly* after my first full WFH week saw me in… Continue reading A week in (unsuccessful) work outfits: WFH edition
Well, when I decided to start writing about the type of entertainment that can be consumed in your home as a blog series I had no idea just how relevant it would be just a few short months later. I know a lot of people have significantly more time than usual on their hands right now, but even for those for whom time is still in short supply,… Continue reading Read. Watch. Listen. | Volume 3
