This is a completely different type of post and it is one that I am so excited to share with you. Very simply, I decided to get crafting. I have made and packaged my very own confetti. My wedding is approaching fast (I’m trying to not think about the pandemic and I am hopeful that [...]
On the 18th March I published a post, giving my top tips for making the work from home switch successful. This was only a couple of days after the UK's full lockdown was put in place. It was fresh and I was keen to embed structure into my days. In my role at work, I [...]
Welcome to my blog, and thank you for visiting. This post is going to be a very short one but I need your help. I am working on a project for World IBD day this month and in short, I want to know your assumptions about IBD. You don’t have to know anything about it [...]
Almost 4 weeks into the UK lockdown and I’m feeling a little lost with my blog. I’m not a typical lifestyle blogger. I simply document my adventures on holiday, and on work trips. There is a big fat elephant in the room right now - I can’t travel anywhere. Currently, my ‘adventures’ consist of a [...]
It is clear that in the current climate, things are changing at a rapid pace around the world. If you have not already guessed - I won't be travelling anywhere anytime soon. COVID-19 has truly dampened everyone's spirits and we are living in scary times at the moment. Having Crohn's Disease means I am classed [...]
How to spend a weekend in Dublin? When planning a weekend break, especially a city break it can be easy to feel pressure. This pressure comes from the feeling of too much to do in so little time. While I try to ‘do it all’, I am going to be completely honest and say that [...]
Please tell me that I am not the only one who appears to suffer from seasonal affective disorder? When winter starts to close in, the cold weather starts to play havoc with me. My joints start to cease up, my fatigue gets worse and if that wasn’t enough… my skin starts to dry out. But [...]
I have been out and about a lot lately, doing lots of Christmas shopping and enjoying the festivities. I love travelling at Christmas because I love the warm feeling you get at Christmas markets, even when it's so ironically cold outside. I love sipping hot chocolates, shopping and buying presents. But with this comes an [...]
I talk a lot about my life, living with Crohn’s Disease. My instagram is @crohnswithme and I did set this up as a safe space to post about, almost as a visual diary, and the document the ups and downs of Crohn’s. As you can see from this blog, travelling and exploring is a huge [...]
Have you ever read The Secret? The concept is simple, ask the universe for what you want, manifest it, and the universe will answer you. The Secret has helped me to see things in a different light. I have started to believe that I am enough, that what I work for will give me endless [...]
Politics is by no means something that I’ve ever taken an interest in. Personally, I think that is because I just don’t understand it. The to-ing and frow-ing, the child like arguments between parties, the utter crap that these politicians promise but never deliver. It has always been too much for my to wrap my [...]
Wake up call: 9am Breakfast: 10am Activity: shopping I will be real with you, I’m a little bit of a shopping addict. I guess consumerism is kind of my thing. So how could I not visit the Champs Elysees? One of the worlds famous commercial streets. Champs Elysees means “Elysian Fields”, which indicates that someone [...]
Wake up call: 3am Flight time: 6:40am BHX - CDG Lately, I’ve found that my fatigue is pretty severe. My body aches and I struggle to get myself awake, up and about in the morning. But somehow when it’s a travel day I seem to miraculously have a little more energy. It’s almost as though [...]
I’ve been wanting to write about this since my return from my last trip. However, I don’t want to seem as though I am ‘showing off’ because business travel is HARD work. It’s not all the glamour of jetting off to incredible places, sight seeing, a break away. It is longer days, adjusting to new [...]
My most recent trip over the Atlantic was certainly a whirlwind experience. It was both bitter and sweet as I got such a small amount of time to explore, but I am very aware that I am very lucky to have travelled in the first place. It has just given me even more need to [...]
