Getting to Know Me: The Blogger Tag
I haven’t taken part in a tag post for so long, so when the lovely Francesca over at My Life in Rose Tinted Glasses nominated me, I thought it was about time I got back on that bandwagon and divulged even more about me. I mean, it’s not like I don’t share everything as it…

I’m Not Scrooge: Why I Find Christmas Difficult
Apparently if you don’t like Christmas or can’t get into ‘the Christmas spirit’ you’re miserable and a Scrooge. Okay, mate, sure. Have you ever wondered why someone doesn’t like Christmas?

We (my mum, brother and I) moved in with my grandparents when I was five…

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while but you know how it is, posts pile up and things get put on the back-burner; alas my planner addict post is finally here. I’m not going to show you inside my planners just yet, I intend on doing separate posts for each one, but…
Enamel Pin Collection featuring Punky Pins and Veronica Dearly
I’ve always been a lover of badges; I used to cover my bag in mildly offensive pins during my teens, and spend ages raiding the badge tub in Quiggins (alternative shop in Liverpool) whenever I went shopping. My jackets, coats, bags, were all stamped with a pin, but they were nowhere near as amazing as…
My Love/Like Relationship with Books
Anyone that knows me will tell you I’m a bookworm; I have books in every room, shelves, cases, boxes of books, and as much as I love them, I often find myself in a bit of a love/like relationship. What I mean by that is, I either inhale novel after novel, and can’t get enough,…

It ships worldwide, check out their…
