I’ve spoken before about my love of watching the sport of cycling. It’s a niche interest and I don’t really have any friends who share that interest, certainly not many who would drive to France and traipse around fields to watch it live. Except I do now have a friend willing to do this crazy…… Continue reading A day chasing The Hell of the North: Paris-Roubaix
Ok, I sort of skipped reviewing the December box, but it was a decent one. I was terrible at blogging in general during December, but I’m refreshed and back on it. I’m keeping my Secret Scent Box subscription too because I’ve been enjoying mixing up what perfume I’m using. What is it? For those not…… Continue reading Secret Scent Box: January
Considering we went in October and I posted Part 1 and about Niagara an age ago, getting this part up is a little overdue but I’m trying to get back into more regular posting this year after a poor end to 2018. While I eagerly await the chance to plan this year’s adventures, it’s nice…… Continue reading Travel Fix: Toronto, Part 2
Tis the season to be jolly, apparently. I’m not a huge Christmas person but it does have perks; seeing family more, the food, a new Christmas album from August Burns Red and lots of excuse to wear all things sparkly. Cue this month’s Glossybox, titled All That Glitters… Glossybox usually win me over with presentation…… Continue reading December’s Glossybox, Unboxed
I’ll admit that telling my colleagues, or even friends, that I was taking a random Wednesday off work to travel around and watch men ride bikes in lycra was daunting. People don’t get the sport of cycling, much less when anybody would want to go and watch something where they hurtle past you at break-neck…… Continue reading A day following the Tour of Britain (and why I love cycling as much as ever)
This was intended to be a full food fix covering the ever excellent monthly Canteen event at the LCB Depot in Leicester. However, due to a three hour sleep the night before and a very long day, I didn’t spend as much time at Canteen as I usually would. It didn’t stop me finishing the…… Continue reading Mini Food Fix: Canteen and Gelato Village, Leicester
After the highs of the Vegan Limited Edition box (I reviewed it here), I’d almost forgotten the next subscription box was imminent. It’s a special one too and boy, they’ve done a good job here presentation wise. Every Glossybox looks nice, I’m a sucker for a ribbon and nice packaging but their special ones are…… Continue reading July’s Glossybox, unboxed
I think I drive Chris crazy sometimes because we’ll be walking along, talking about something and he’ll suddenly realise that I’ve stopped because I’m photographing something and he’s therefore left talking to himself. I really got into photography when I was about to start my A levels and there was the option of taking the…… Continue reading June in Photos
Admittedly, I’m fully aware that I am not cool. This is my first limited edition, non-subscription Glossybox though so I was very excited to get it. I had originally planned to pick up the Karl Lagerfeld box but wimped out fearing I wouldn’t get enough use of the products. Having seen that final line-up, I…… Continue reading Glossybox’s Limited Edition Vegan Box, Unboxed
