Now, I’m not about to claim that I’m some serious style maven, but I do like to keep my finger on fashion’s figurative pulse (I’m also fond of fricatives) and now that we’re over halfway through February we can definitely…
I’ve alluded to this on Instagram a few times, but in the latter half of 2018 I did not sleep well. If I’m being completely honest, I haven’t slept well since October 2017, which is when I first moved in…
I have a long and uncomplicated relationship with my hair. I like it low-maintenance and dyed slightly more ginger than its natural auburn, and in recent years I’ve gone back to my childhood preference for a fringe. Aside from blasting…

Turn and face the strange! Which is my roundabout way of saying look! I’m on WordPress! It’s all different! Except it isn’t really; while the layout has had an update and I can now customise seemingly everything, the content is…
