In my opinion, working from home is one of the very best things about being a freelancer. I work for myself so I choose to work from my home office. Sure, there are times when I feel lonely, but the good outweighs the bad by far. I love my home office space and for the most part I genuinely enjoy […]
It’s always the middle of January and into February that I start to wish I’d planned a winter break. It’s been a few years since I’ve been on one and boy am I kicking myself now. But why take a winter sunshine break?
Chances are you’re probably not feeling that flush so soon after Christmas, so why try splash out on a […]
What’s been happening in January?
I didn’t have too many plans for January but it turned out to be an AMAZINGLY good month!
I welcomed in 2018 at a little gathering at a friends house and then spent New Years Day with my family. It was such a fun and chilled way to bring in 2018, a year that I’m sure is […]
There’s no shortage of things to do and see in Scotland. It’s a varied country with so much happening – plenty of events, festivals and, of course, all of the natural beauty. Here’s my collection of things to do in Scotland in 2018…

Celtic Connections has already begun, but if you’re quick it’s on until the 4th February! Throughout […]
For the most part, I absolutely adore being self-employed. I love making my own hours, working when I want to, only doing projects that interest me and just generally being in charge of my own life. It’s freeing, it’s exciting and it’s totally rewarding. But, freelancing is lonely and that’s one of the major downsides.
I write this blog and alongside […]
If you’re planning a trip to Scotland’s capital city you’ll no doubt be excited to discover it’s stunning architecture, imposing castle and rich history. It’s a fascinating city that offers so much for visitors to discover and explore. But you’ll also want to stay somewhere comfortable and cosy whilst you’re there. There’s nothing better than returning to somewhere lovely after […]
I’m not a huge one for making resolutions for a New Year, but I do like setting goals for the year ahead. The burst of productivity and feeling of anticipation and excitement at what the year ahead can hold is always something I enjoy.
For 2018 I’ve set myself some travel goals and some life goals. If you’d like to read […]
I don’t know about you guys but I’m still riding the wave of freshness that comes with a shiny new year. I’m feeling productive, positive and ready to plan lots of things for the year ahead.
Planning for 2018 includes setting work goals, personal goals and, of course, travel goals. And, let’s be honest, travel goals are definitely the most fun […]
January. Oh, January.
For many people, January is the worst month of the year. Christmas – and all the fun that goes with it – is well and truly over and you crash back to reality with a bang. Back to work, back to routine and back to the monotony of everyday life. It’s cold outside, it’s oppressively dark and your […]
For the past 4-5 years I’ve committed to reading 52 books per year, one for each week. 2017 was no different and I completed the challenge on the last day of the year.
Reading has always been something I’ve loved and I genuinely enjoy spending time getting lost in words and stories. Here are all the books I read in 2017…
