Weekly Catch Up | Week 1 of Blogtober

The first week of blogtober is officially done! Well okay, technically it's tomorrow but it feels wrong to do a weekly catch up on a Tuesday. To be honest, I'm already running out of post ideas so I'm getting a little bit stressed about it. But it's supposed to be a bit of fun so I'm going to try not to worry about it too much!

An Interview with Charlie | 2024

I interviewed Charlie back in 2021, and I'm so excited to see if his answers have changed! This was originally a blogmas post, so I have changed the last two questions to fit around Halloween instead of Christmas. 

2024 Birthday Wishlist

It's my birthday this month! I'll be 29 (on the 29th!) which is sounding like a very serious age. I'm so not ready. As per tradition, I thought I'd share my wishlist for this year.

Save the Dates & Wedding Invitations for less than £10

Is it time for wedding content? With just seven months to go, I believe it is! I feel like Save the Dates are a very American thing, but it seems to be getting more popular in the UK. I couldn't think of a better way to announce our wedding - especially as we're only having a small one - so Save the Dates it was! We're getting married in May, and many people tend to go on holiday in May, so I wanted to get the word out ASAP but we weren't ready to get the invitations out.

A Week of Decluttering

I've been in a really decluttering mood lately, so I decided to challenge myself to do 30 minutes to an hour of decluttering every day for a week, Monday-Friday in September.

I started on Monday, in my bedroom. I've got plenty to go through. My wardrobe, a box of toiletries, a drawer of toiletries, a random sh*t drawer, my bedside table, and the under-bed storage. Seriously, there's tons. I decided to start with my toiletries drawer. I go in it every day and always struggle to find what I'm actually looking for, so I emptied the entire drawer and started from scratch. 

My October Watchlist

It's officially time to hunker down on the sofa, with a hot drink and a blanket, and watch everything and anything! I've set myself a little watchlist for October, so I'm not looking for something to watch all the time.

October Goals | Chapter 10 of 12

It's officially the best month of the year! My birthday month and Halloween time! I'm absolutely buzzing for October - as I am every year - and can't wait for the spooky times. I'm going to a Halloween event at Dreamland and I can't wait. My costume is ready and I can't wait to party all night.

Autumn Bucket List

Today is officially Autumn! My favourite time of year. I wanted to create a little mini bucket list for the autumn season, so here goes.

Weekly Catch Up | September Week 2

I broke my spending ban this week! A lot of it was useful stuff though. I started with a binder for 99p! I was setting up my journal for the rest of the year, and it got me thinking about my journal for 2025. I spent a while looking around at diaries. I was torn between getting another Go Girl planner, a normal diary or a blank notebook. Eventually, binders started coming up, and I remembered how much I loved having a binder and having the freedom to move things around in it and add to it. So, binder it was. My old one is ruined, so I found this gorgeous black one that's definitely a bit of me! It was £10.99 and lucky me had a £10 Amazon gift card, so I thought for only paying 99p, it was worth it! 

Weekly Catch Up | September Week 1

Well...September has been pretty rough so far. Our invitations to our wedding officially went out, and then we had a family member on Josh's side trying to tell us that we shouldn't have my best friend there and just generally trying to cause trouble. In the end, Josh banned his sister and my best friend which broke my heart as she was my maid of honour. But he respected that I didn't want his youngest brother there, so I have had to respect his wish not to have my friend there. It sucks, but it is what it is and we are still firm friends.

September Goals | Chapter 9 of 12

August has been really lovely! Not nearly as fun as I'd wanted but it's still been a really good month. My Mum made a comment last week. "Are you happier or are you just better at pretending that you are?" Wow. That's when it hit me that I haven't had a proper depressive episode for quite a few weeks! Obviously July had been a difficult month, but these last few weeks I've felt much better. I still have general life stresses but I have genuinely been so much happier lately. I feel good.
