My new obsession

So if it wasn’t already obvious to you all (if you follow my instagram), I love a nice plant, even before my rebrand, my old logo had plants in it, and really who doesn’t love a good plant to add to a space?

I’ve been a huge fan of one plant company in particular for the last few years and love how they do things, and have always wanted to purchase from them, however I live just outside the delivery border to receive an order. I was arranging to order the plants to my cousin’s place when they recently changed and now deliver nationwide!

I got a re-brand

Just a small update today, after a year and five months, I thought it was time for a company re-brand. I designed my previous logo myself before setting up my blog. I am a creative so doing things myself allows me to learn new skills and advance my knowledge, however, I’ve been working alongside graphic designers over the last year and a bit, so I thought, I’d leave it to the experts.

My Trip to Portugal

Hello all,

It was only a short trip so there wasn’t a huge time to relax, but I look forward to being able to visit for longer next time.

Not got a Valentine This Year? Look No Further

It’s February, and soon enough Valentine’s Day will be upon us, but normally as a single pringle I wouldn’t have really gone out of my way to make a post about it.

Valentine’s isn’t always for everyone, even some who are happily in a relationship, others see it as another money making scheme by marketers & retailers, however, I came across this great group which are using Valentine’s Day for more than just love and couples, instead to build connections with strangers.

My Nightly Skincare Routine

Did you know that 87% of women don’t know what they are doing when it comes to skincare routines?

Well I used to be in that percentage until I really got to grips with what I was meant to be doing. There is so much complicated information out there about what you should be doing and what you should mix/not mix, which means it can all get very confusing.

Christmas Present Ideas

It’s getting closer to Christmas, my favourite time of the year! However, not for all, for some this brings about panic mode, as they haven’t found all their Christmas presents yet. Don’t worry, you’ve still got plenty of time to head to the shops, or hit the online sales.
