Spring is coming!

The English Spring season is usually one of tempermental weather: Lots of wind, lots of rain, and somedays lots of sunshine and heat. Often all 3 in one day - even in one hour! So whilst I have been trying to start my own little garden of pretty flowers, and to take up a hobby … Continue reading Spring is coming!

Kookie Cat Lil Cookie Monster

I am currently working on eating more mindfully, and also eating foods that are more nutritous and more 'macro friendly'. I do however work in an office and anyone who has ever worked in an office will know that tea breaks and coookies are a sacred part of the office culture. Luckily for me, these … Continue reading Kookie Cat Lil Cookie Monster

My evening skincare routine

Following on from my morning skincare routine, I thought it would help to know what my evening routine looks like. Luckily, this is way shorter! I do not wear make-up every day, as luckily my work is predominantly done from home, but on the days I do wear make-up, I tend to take this off … Continue reading My evening skincare routine

Lola’s biscoff cupcake

Biscoff is always a risky product. It tastes AMAZING, but it can also send me into diabetic shock within a few mouthfuls because it is such an overpowering flavour. This means that whenever a receipe includes Biscoff, I know I am unlikely to finish the whole thing because the Biscoff will defeat me. I do … Continue reading Lola’s biscoff cupcake

Floof Friday

One of the funny quirks of caring for a black cat, is not being able to see them in dark rooms. It took me a good 5 minutes of looking because I realised that my cat was sitting on the windowsill....I only noticed once I actually turned a light on and she looks at me … Continue reading Floof Friday

My vegan skincare routine

I have struggled with my skin since I was a pre-teen, and whilst it has improved as I have grown older, I am still very prone to breakouts and issues with my skin. Especially during winter, my skin can get very dry and this seems to make it even more prone to issues. I have … Continue reading My vegan skincare routine

Lola’s red velvet cupcake

I have always found cupcakes to be a 'hit or miss' food for me. Either there is too much icing to cupcake ratio, or the cake itself is too dry so the whole thing falls apart as soon as you try to eat it, or the icing is so sickly and overpowering that all you … Continue reading Lola’s red velvet cupcake

Crosstown The Bride doughnut

I finally decided to brave the cold winter weather (we have had rain for 47 days in a row so far!) and decided to finally visit Oxford. I have always heard great things about this city, and now that I live relatively close by, I thought there was no better reason to visit than now. … Continue reading Crosstown The Bride doughnut

When baking goes ary…

I moved house about 6 months ago and I am still getting used to how the new appliances work, especially the new oven. I am slowly getting used to it, but since we also have an air fryer, progress has been very slow. I therefore tried to bake some cookies over the weekend and...well...lessons were … Continue reading When baking goes ary…

Buttermilk choc wafer bar

It seems there has been a bit of a hole in my life since the vegan kitkat has been discontinued. There are still great chocolate options out there, but sometimes there are itches that no amount of dairy-free chocolate can scratch. I still get a little grumpy when I walk through my local groceries and … Continue reading Buttermilk choc wafer bar
