Autumn Skincare Empties 2020 🍂
I actually didn’t expect to be writing another empties post because, A: it’s time consuming and B: it’s time consuming. Now that Autumn is technically over, now is the time to share with you what skincare products I used up this season. Also now is the time because I don’t want to keep hoarding empty…

Autumn Favourites – 2018 🍁🍂💛
Autumn: potentially the most admired season thanking to it’s aesthetically pleasing shades of Amber, Burgundy and earthy tones in addition to the revived comfort of hot chocolate drinks, tasseled scarfs and genuinely Pumpkin Spiced everything (- I’m more partial to a Maple Latte or Caramel Macchiato, if I dare say it). This season may have…

Did I achieve my November Goals?
Honestly… I failed alot of the targets I set out for myself in my ‘To-do-list’: My Goals for November post which I wrote towards the start of this month. I don’t feel totally ashamed of not doing entirely well with following my plans as I have been keeping busy and the most important goal I have reached…

In that second.
The icy breeze howled past,partially distracted by engaging in a tête-à-tête. Blanketed by a monochrome cashmere checkered scarf, eyes directed toward the snow dusted ground which dwindled fast. The sky a tinge of Cobalt and Amber, the crescent moon gleaming through Autumn’s spacious, rust coloured leaves. The air scented with roasted coffee and cologne. In that…

Fashion Inspirations.
I don’t pay much attention to the latest trends or highlights from fashion weeks across the world. My motto is: if I like it, I like it. It doesn’t matter if other’s consider the garments in which I wear as fashionable or not. I know well which styles do and don’t work for me, I…

This past weekend.
This past weekend was a little different for usual. I barely spent time at home and past through the crowded city of Seoul which I preferably would avoid at a weekend. My boyfriend and I attended two music concerts held and produced by a lovely, very talented married couple who we are only just beginning…

[Poem]: Autumn evening.
Arms interlinked like a necklace, footsteps in perfect symmetry. Following the night lights which glimmer, illuminating their smiling faces. Captivated by the tranquillity of a Japanese water feature, still huddling side-by-side in seek of warmth. He guides her, trusting his intuition: she feels safe and content. Sitting across from eachother in a patisserie, hands enclasped…

[Recipes]: Pasta Galore.
Undeniably pasta is one of may favourite foods. Spaghetti bolognese has been my all time favourite dish for as long as I can remember and as a child I would have pasta Carbonara once a week without fail before dance class. These days I try to reduce my carbohydrate intake as consuming pasta 3 times…

All about fragrances.
Perfumes, aftershaves/calone, candles, insense, oil diffusers, anything with the purpose of providing an aroma can be hard to give as gifts as scents deemed to be pleasant are based on personal preferences. Some fragrances that a soft and mild are usually a safe option to give as presents. Here I have complied a little list…

November Haul of Sale Items.
Who doesn’t love a good bargain? Infact 80% of the time I will only by beauty, skincare or clothing if it is on sale or already at a low/reasonable price. When a new product releases and I’ve missed that first few weeks of it’s lowered introductory offer, I will wait until it’s on sale again…

2 Days in 1 Blog Post.
Quite late into yesterday afternoon my boyfriend and I unexpectedly decided to take a little shopping trip to Myeondong, which is the biggest most famous shopping district in Seoul, South Korea. The evening is especially the busiest time to walk the streets of Myeondong as tourists are around experiencing the street foods and Korean citizens…

My travel essentials for my trip to Osaka, Japan.
In a month I’m taking a brief week long trip to Osaka, Japan. It’s going to be equally or even colder there this December than it is in Korea and certainly at least entering the minus degrees which the UK doesn’t experience until late January or February. Apart from the obvious essentials including a thick…

Hearty Beef, Vegetable & Dumpling Stew: Recipe.
I’m not entirely sure whether vegetable, beef and dumpling stew is a British dish or not. Of course there are many variations of this stew among Europe and prehaps also North America and Canada. However it’s prepared, for many generations stews have served the purpose of using up leftover ingredients, warming us in the cold…

Autumn Favourites.
I don’t usually write any form of a ‘favourites’ post, mainly because I like to repeatedly use the same products that I already know work best for me or because it takes me such a long time to finish a product that there is no need for me to purchase something new to try out.…

‘To-do-list’: My goals for November.
Recently I’ve seen quite a few blog posts by others who have set themselves targets to complete either within a week or for the duration of a month.We are three days into November, but I’m not going to allow my slight tardiness discourage me from setting myself some achievements to reach. In my current mental…

[Poem]: Throughout the Autumn nights.
The Sapphire tinted sky casts over the cities and fields around midnight. Stars barely gleam through the fogginess. Deep Cyan ripples glint through the sparse clusters of clouds. Foxes scamper athwart the dewy fields to unfamiliar grounds whilst the overactive minds of the anxious flood with worriness; constricted by thought, turning beneath the blankets which…

Read with coffee: Autumn talk.
As the dried burgandy leaves and chestnut coloured conkers begin to fall to the damp undergrowth, a crisp chilling breeze whirls around us. In the meantime, busy animals hurry to their burrows in preparation for hibernation. The Squirrels scurry over the bark of almost bare trees, cautiously protecting their precious bundles which they have foraged.…
