The wedding morning prep was probably the part of my wedding I was most looking forward to. Obviously I was looking forward to marrying my now-husband (I’d be worried if I wasn’t), but for me the wedding morning prep was the exciting part. Having all your bridesmaids over, having your hair and makeup done, cracking…
I urge absolutely everybody to go and visit Alnwick Castle. At the end of August, I’d handed in my week’s notice at my job. I’d been offered my old job back and had decided to leave my current job at Thornton Manor, the place where we got married. Our trip couldn’t have come at a…
New to SEO? This SEO guide should help you out if you’re starting from nothing. My blog has been going since 2017, and now, a lot of my traffic comes from Google. I won’t sit here and say I did X, Y, and Z to make that happen, because honestly, I wouldn’t be able to…
Living in Chester has always meant a huge deal to me, and I’ll never move out of it. Some people are never happy in one place. They always think there are bigger and better places out there. However, besides the time I moved to Liverpool for university, I’ve never lived outside of Cheshire and never…
This bank holiday is set to be a scorcher, so what better time than to make some summer iced tea? I love tea, whether that be hot, cold, or iced. So when Adagio Teas got in touch with me, of course I jumped at the chance to collaborate with them. I’ve never made my own…
So our wedding day was two weeks ago, on 28th April 2018, and I wanted to share some of our wedding day details with you! We spent (read: I spent) 2 years and 3 months planning this wedding. It caused a lot of stress, a lot of effort, and a lot of tears. I never…
Planning a Liverpool hen do? Here’s what I did (and I’d highly recommend it!) So obviously my blog has a wedding section because I’m getting married in 36 DAYS. The hen do should traditionally be the day before the wedding, but that tradition has long escaped out of the window. Hen and stag dos are…
I know, me and Jay have only had our first house for a year, but we’re already thinking about what we’re going to do for our next home, hopefully our forever home. I always think it’s good to think into the future. We both want to build our own home, and so this will take…
A guide to self-hosting for bloggers who have no idea where to start (we’ve all been there!) A lot of bloggers will start off on a free hosting site with a domain that ends with .wordpress.com or .blogspot.com. But what happens when you want to buy your own domain and take your blog self-hosted? …
There are so many plants that are safe for our pets, but there are also many that aren’t safe, and ivy is one of them. We love our pets so much, they’re like family. We let them sleep in our bed, share the sofa with us, and even sneak them some chicken off our plate….
So much has been going on recently, so I thought I’d do a brief (ahem…) life update. Time is going far too quickly at the moment. I can’t believe it’s already November which means that my wedding is five months away (172 days to be precise…wow, I wish I hadn’t worked that out). We’re still…
Everyone knows weddings are expensive, so you want to save money on your wedding where you can. It’s not just the shocking venue and food costs but all the little extras: favours, jewellery for the bride and bridesmaids, gifts for family. So how can you save money on your wedding, cut the cost and still…
