When to get into the Christmas Spirit?
I find it really difficult to get into the Christmas Spirit too early. My sister on the other hand, not so much. She is ready to put her tree up at the beginning of November. But in recent years I’ve been struggling. My main issue is that my birthday is on the 2nd December (that’s […]

Blogmas Day 12 | Christmas Markets
One of my favourite things to do at this time of the year is visit the Christmas markets. I think they are a great place to go for a present that is more unique and something that you won’t be able to find in a regular shop during the rest of the year. I’ve been […]

At the end of November I went a little crazy with some retail therapy and one of the places I visited was The Body Shop. I really love this shop and the products that they sell so I decided to treat myself to some of their products and I thought I would give a review […]
