14 years ago I was in demand as a woman in tech. I ran a review site for consumer gadgets, and got involved in multiple tech roundtables to help shape how companies marketed to supported women. I was even recognised for my work, being named as a “Remarkable Woman” and winning awards. I worked on…
Let’s be honest, it’s been a very odd few weeks! Most parents are pulling their hair out trying to home school and do everything else they would normally do. I know that working from home and trying to teach your kids at the same time can be a super frustrating process, but one that I…
This admission might surprise you all! Despite my seemingly confident, outgoing and bubbly personality, I struggle daily with my confidence and self-esteem. This took a turn for the worst back in February when I lost my best friend to the big C… Cancer. Grief I have been on quite the journey since the death of…
A couple of weeks ago, Boo and I were invited to Pizza Express in Holborn to take part in their World Book Day workshop, where he got to learn the secrets of story telling. Now, Boo is superb at reading and recently read his story to the entire school in assembly – proud mummy moment….

So, it’s been an absolutely crazy week for me. A few weeks back I applied to be a content creator for one of my all time favourite brands, Ju Ju Be. I worked really hard on producing a reasonably acceptable video, which with limited knowledge and a bag of nerves was difficult. On top of…
I have re-written this post a few times already… It keeps evolving and sometimes I find it hard to put my thoughts into words. Confidence is hard to talk about sometimes! I feel that by ‘opening up’, I’m actually leaving myself open to negative response. But anyone who shares any thing on the internet must be happy…
It’s no secret, I *LOVE* my subscription boxes! I love the surprises, the bargains… I just love getting post! Back in December, I was contacted by the guys at teatourist and asked if I would like to sample a box… No brainer! A subscription box with tea… heavenly!!! So, it arrived a few days later…
I’ve had a pretty lazy few months as far as exercise goes. SO much has been going on in my life that I’ve neglected my own health and wellbeing on a pretty big level. I’ve not been to Karate since mid December and running… well, I have no idea!!! Being a Mum can take up…
