4 Ways You Can Get Organised At Work

One of the hardest things about work is often being organised. It’s a skill that almost everyone claims that they have on their resume when they’re applying for jobs, but once you’re sitting behind that desk and trying to figure out everything that you have to do that day, those organisational skills that you cultivated in high school by colour coding your notes and adding post-its to the most important pages of your text books feel like a million miles away. If that sounds familiar, here are some tips on the best ways you can get it together at work. Read More

5 Getaways for the Adventurous

When the majority of people think about holidays, they might think about heading away on a beach holiday. That’s what we’re doing this year but we always try and chuck in some fun activities and sports along the way. Thoughts of sun, sea and sand automatically spring to mind and we all look forward to kicking back and relaxing while topping up the tan. Beach hols are the be all and end all, I love a good city break and there’s always activities to do in resorts too.  There are plenty of alternative trips out there. Check out my 3 out of the box things to do in Crete for some previous fun we’ve had! If you’re a little more adventurous and feel you’d get a little bored sitting around doing next to nothing for a week or two, here are a few ideas that you might find more appealing! Read More

Pieminister Escape Room & Pie Review

If you know me, you’ll know that I love an activity. You’ll more likely find me doing crazy golf, a bottomless brunch with bingo or more recently, escape rooms instead of on a big night out. I first did an escape room about three years ago and had no idea what to expect but since then I’ve done about 5 or 6 at a range of locations and I am such a fan. They’re so fun to do with friends and family and you really learn how to work together and you’ll definitely have a laugh – I guarantee it! I love the mix of themes and stories that you can get at different escape rooms. There are two at Pieminister, the Demon Barber and Germageddon! Read More

This was a total treat for my birthday and it was an amazing stay so I had to pop up a little review about it. Literally 10 minutes from Derby city centre, around 30 minutes from Nottingham and 10 minutes from National Trust Kedleston Hall is this lovely little B&B. Read More

The Importance of Maintaining Female Friendships

There’s been a lot of chatter around female friendships / ‘girl gangs’ / finding your tribe for a few years now and it’s been all talk in the media and book market too since Lily Pebbles released The F Word. It’s one of those things I’ve always thought about because friends have been a funny thing for me over the years. I’m one of those people that has a few good friends, not a whole secondary school so I’ve sometimes felt out of place if I don’t have that one person with me that I know I can count on. Read More

24 hours in Leeds; beer & bhajis

Ahhhh, Leeds. I love this place! I mentioned in my first post when we originally explored it how much I enjoyed the city. I love how it feels fairly clean, (for a big city!), the shopping is awesome, there’s tonnes of places to eat and drink – from the chains that we all know and love if you need something to rely on to awesome independent places that you can discover and love forever.
