I'm nosey. 

No, that's not the first fact (although I guess it could be!). But I love finding out about other people, their likes, dislikes and what makes them tick! 

So I thought I would give you a little insight into some of my favourite things and random facts about me! If I was planning a wedding, I would want to know these small things about my suppliers so I could feel we had a real connection. 

Here goes!

Every year when December rolls around, I explode like a festive bomb. I adore Christmas and everything that comes with it. The music, the jumpers, my candy cane earrings (yes I am wearing them as I write this) and of course the films. Each year brings with it a raft of new festive films but for me, the old ones are the best. Here's my run down of my Top 10 Christmas Films...

Having now been in the midst of Coronavirus tinged times for over 6 months and with an impending potential second wave on its way, I have been reflecting on how I have truly been through these crazy times. Of course, the potential total lack of income, the unknown and the fear have all taken their toll, but I do feel that I have come through 2020 with a little more self-awareness. Perhaps my lessons I have learned during lockdown will help you too?

As many of you know, I am a reading addict. I absolutely devour books and often have a few on the go at once. It's absolute escapism for me and relaxes me no matter what time of day. I don't even have to be on holiday! I am absolute advocate of a printed book and have always been surrounded by books. All my family are readers but none of us seem to have very similar tastes in our literature!

So far this year I have read some wonderful books, along with a hefty amount of childrens' books. I like to read one childrens' series a year, I've done Malory Towers, Harry Potter and 2020 is the turn of The Famous Five. Through audiobooks, VHS and the books themselves I think I probably know all the stories but I want to read all the books. 

So here goes, my 2020 list of books (so far...)

I do not pretend to be an expert, or even a strong novice but I do know a bit about overwhelm and anxiety. April is Stress Awareness Month and I thought I would take this opportuntiy to share my top tips for managing stress.
