So, I hate to say it but summer is coming to an end.

As a summer person I struggle with this concept but it's only 15 more Wednesday's until Christmas.

Hello Strangers.

I'm going to throw this out there. I'm not a solo runner. 
I can run solo and I do run solo but it's not where my running 'buzz' comes from.

If there's one thing I can't resist each summer it's a woven/straw/wicker bag.

It's official. My 5pm secret is out. Its a HUGE giveaway.

It's day three and my bank account hates me. I just can't stop shopping.
Maybe I just feel the need to do my bit to keep the economy going in all this doom and gloom news.

It turns out after yesterday's post. It's not just me feeling these quarantine shopping urges.
Is it just me, or is isolation really intensifying shopping urges?

Social Distancing.
One of the most mentioned terms right now after Coronavirus and probably just before Herd Immunity.

Welcome to Part One of my sustainability series.

The idea behind the series was that this year I want to step away from "fast fashion" and move into making better shopping choices.

The first brand I'm going to feature in this series is one that I've owned for over a year now and that's Veja.

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in daily life, that I forget about my impact on the bigger picture.

I'm still trying to work out if the marathon gods were being cruel or kind when I got my rejection letter through in the post last October.

Leaping into the new year.
A whole new decade.
Enter the (hopefully) roaring twenty's.

It feels surreal that I'm sat here at the end of 2019 looking ahead to a whole year and a whole new decade.

Bristol is a city that I just can't help falling in love with on repeat. While I love to travel when I can there is something satisfying about being in the city that I love and get to call home. I mean it was voted Best Place in Britain to Live by the Sunday Times too in 2017. It's still awesome too. So here's my little guide of some of the most beautiful and square-worthy places in the city.
