My Sentimental Heart

Goodness me, here we are at the end of another year- and it has really whizzed by in a flash, don't you agree? It feels like barely five minutes since I was putting together this sort of post this time last year- I don't know about you, but as I'm getting older it just seems that time …

Whether you're spending this Chrimbo limbo in the office or are lucky enough to still be snuggled up in front of the telly at home eating your own body weight in chocolate, one thing which can't failed to have passed you by is just how chilly it's been over the last few days. My newly …

There is no denying that this time of the year is definitely one for over indulging. Whether you're surrounded by mince pies at every turn or are haunted by the ghost of Christmas puddings past, the festive season is synonymous with lots of lovely sweet treats. Having said that, with lots of  …

At this time of the year, it can be pretty tricky to get on board with all of the festive sparkle if you're feeling a little bit run down and worn out. Personally, I think I've evolved something of an allergy to winter- in fact, as I type this, I'm curled up with my duvet, a box of tis…

I've been reading lots of different articles and comment pieces online over the last couple of days, debating how 2014 has been for women- from Emma Watson's UN address to that 'break the internet' magazine cover, it seems that this year has been pretty polarised in terms of women&…

In the words of Ned Stark, winter is coming. Or should that be, winter is well and truly here- particularly after the last few weeks of distinctly chilly days. Considering that it's my birthday at this time of the year, I'm really surprised that I'm not fonder of the latter months of t…

If you're anything at all like me, you'll be something of a serial post opening putter offer. If I'm being completely honest, I'm completely useless at getting around to checking what has been popped through the letterbox by the postman, which frequently means that the majority of …

If you're finding it tricky to get inspired by your Christmas shopping, or are still on the lookout for some special last minute presents, then struggle no more- I've handpicked some more festive favourites to give you some ideas. Following on from my cosy and beauty themed installments, t…

When you think of London, what do you think of? Buckingham Palace, the Underground, Boris Bikes? I guarantee that one of the most familiar images which springs to mind is that of the iconic double decker Routemaster bus, perhaps one of the most instantly recognisable hallmarks of the capital. If y…

If you're still on the lookout for some Christmas goodies, then there are a bounty of beauty themed potential presents hitting the shops at the moment. Whether you're shopping for yourself, or looking for gifts for other people, if you're a true make up maven at heart then this time of…

Now it seems that we're well and truly in the grip of winter, I've definitely found myself living in a series of jumpers which have been on a fairly steady rotation from washing machine to wardrobe over the last few weeks. I don't know about you, but at this time of the year I find it …

Well, here we are! Today is my 25th birthday!! Whilst, in the grand scheme of things, this might not seem like the biggest achievement in the world, it feels a little bit more significant than lots of other birthdays- I suppose because it's the last big landmark before turning 30...! I'm s…

Pinch punch! Today marks the beginning of December, the end of the Black Friday mayhem (fisticuffs over a telly...really??!!) and the last few weeks before Christmas! Whilst I'm not feeling completely festive just yet (concentrating on getting a certain quarter century birthday tomorrow out of…
