travelling. lifestyle. eating.
Press product review“Before the days of pizza delivery and ready-made meals…people were do-it-yourselfers by default.” And ain’t that the tea.I recently spoke with my grandma about this exact thing. When I told her I'd been sent a book called Attainable Sustainable to review, her first question was, "what does sustainable mean?"I felt like I was grandmasplaining sustainability [...]
No city breaks, no visits to the beach or hikes in the mountains. Nope, it's #lockdown2020. We're doing okay and managing to stay safe, but it's not been an easy time for anyone. Right now we're pretty much living for the two mile walks in our South Jersey neighbourhood to keep us sane. Yesterday I [...]
I was thinking lately that there's one group of people that's really going to be hit hard financially by the coronavirus... Travel influencers. I know what you're thinking... boo-freaking-hoo, right? COVID-19 recently affected my own travel plans, as we nearly got stuck in Europe when Trump announced the (latest 🙄) travel ban. We managed to get [...]
We don't need to talk about how the world is crumbling do we? 🌎 Let's just say it's a given that it's unsustainable with the way modern society is guzzling non-reusable materials. Which brings us to the point in hand.... Christmas. The time of year where stockings are expected to be filled with plasticky-little gimmicks and [...]
Drum roll please. It's finally Autumn! Just last weekend we hustled our way down to the Mount Laurel Fall Fest and although it was a smidge too hot and humid to *really* feel Autumnal, I still got those jitters in the cosy part of my brain telling me it's time to start nesting. And buy [...]
I tried hard to keep this short, but the truth is there's just too many important stories to tell, and too much truth to expose. Mid-January, as I mindlessly scrolled through Instagram's myriad of exotic destinations, palatable flatlays and sponsored fashion posts, a Story flashed up at the top of my screen from a traveller [...]
Dear Toby, It's been a physically and emotionally draining morning, hasn't it? We had such a good run around the park where you had fun being chased by that little Bedlington Cross, before we collapsed into a heap and cried our eyes out into your fur. I told you that you were the best boy [...]
Most 30 year olds have experienced a heart-wrenching break up at least once. Perhaps twice. Perhaps fifty times if you're prone to falling particularly hard, very quickly, in love with someone. At the age of 27 I lost my best friend. I won't go into details but it ripped me to bits, having someone who'd [...]
We are a military family. Albeit a particularly small one, since we don't have children ourselves, and so it is just myself ("the spouse") and my USAF-owned husband. But we're a military family all the same. My husband has so far completed three moves with his military life -- but this is my very first. [...]
This is going to be a real honest post, and will probably be even more poorly written than my usual posts -- just a heads up. The first time I joined Instagram, it was circa 2011 -- about one year after the app was released. It was borne a place of cat photos and ugly [...]
