For anyone who doesn’t follow me on Instagram and therefore didn’t have the pleasure of seeing me make a big song and dance about it, it was my birthday at the weekend. I turned 28. This is the blog post that would have gone up on my birthday/the day after if I wasn't too busy… Continue reading 28 things that, at the age of 28, I am still yet to master

The things I loved about Haarlem, Holland
There was lots I was looking forward to about my Holland trip, but top of my list, if I'm honest, was tulips. My excitement for flower overload was so enormous that it was verging on deranged, so with that front of mind I'd been somewhat slack with giving the other things we were going to… Continue reading The things I loved about Haarlem, Holland
A reintroduction: 7 things you might not know about me
I realised recently that when I first started being so bold as to write about myself on the internet, I never properly introduced myself. I figured at the time that a post that said ‘hello I am Sophie and I live here and do this’ was probably a post that no one would want to… Continue reading A reintroduction: 7 things you might not know about me
I’m trying to appreciate little things more so here’s a handful of stuff I’m going to stop and enjoy this spring
Happy April one and all. I don’t know how the fourth month of 2018 managed to arrive already, but here we are, 3 months and a horrible number of centimetres of rain down. It’s been a pretty good year so far, but when I think back, I’m surprised to find that I don’t actually remember… Continue reading I’m trying to appreciate little things more so here’s a handful of stuff I’m going to stop and enjoy this spring
Hello 2018 | 18 things to remember this year
Happy New Year, you beautiful things! I hope your NYEs were fun/mad/cosy/quiet/whatever you wanted them to be. Mine was spent on the sofa for the first time in maybe 15 years and I absolutely loved it, so I guess I’m a) an adult and b) really boring now. We’ll talk new years resolutions, intentions, goals… Continue reading Hello 2018 | 18 things to remember this year
A festive night in
Something I really love about Christmas is our focus on the senses. It always seems to me that more now than any other time of year, we're hyper aware and appreciative of them; the smell of cinnamon or orange or roasting potatoes, the rich tastes, the comforting feel of a soft jumper, the twinkling lights...December… Continue reading A festive night in
A European city break wishlist
I absolutely love a good city break; they’re such a brilliant way to fit travel around full time work, are always good fun and tend to be relatively affordable since they’re not too long. I’ve been lucky enough to go on some really great ones over the past few years - but there’s always somewhere… Continue reading A European city break wishlist
Some aims for October
The past month has been really good. I thought it probably would be, because I always find I feel driven and excited in September, so I was pleased to find that it lived up to expectations. I wasn't intending to dwell too long on it here - this post is supposed to be about October,… Continue reading Some aims for October
Four things I’ve added to my make up bag recently
The other day, I popped to Superdrug to buy toothpaste, and as soon as I set foot in the place I remembered I’d also run out of concealer that morning. I’m not really sure what happened between that moment and an hour later when I was running back to work with swatches and creams and… Continue reading Four things I’ve added to my make up bag recently
10 things to do in Bergen, Norway
Bergen is marketed as the ‘Gateway to the Fjords’; it's where countless excursions to glaciers, Fjords and mountains depart from, and the ease of getting to some of Norway’s most incredible landscapes was probably the main reason we wanted to go there. The city itself is wonderful though, so it's well worth making sure you… Continue reading 10 things to do in Bergen, Norway
