Give yourself a break!
The last couple weeks have taught me how important it is to give yourself a break every now and then – both physically and mentally. I am currently on a train home to spend the second half of my reading week with my family and give myself a well-deserved rest and I honestly could […]
1 week, 7 meals, £10.99
So, as you may have already guessed from the title, this vlog is based around food and weekly expenditure. Over the past week I have cooked a different meal every night, videoed the end-product and calculated the cost for a single portion… All of the products I used within my meals were bought […]
18 days left of uni
As I have no exams this year, only (lol) essays and a dissertation due in, I finish the university year really early on the 8th May. This seems crazy to me as it’s only eighteen days away… but I’m really looking forward to the lack of stress and pressure when I’m done. As I’m in […]

It’s a listicle, but it will be a short one with three suggestions for the purest, happiest things to get you […]
“It didn’t make it disgusting” The weekend my parents went vegan
I’ve been home for the long weekend, as I had some time off work because the Students’ Union was closed. It’s been a well-earned break from work, revision, and my dissertation as well as a chance to catch up on some much-needed rest. My parents decided to eat some vegan meals with me whilst I […]
