Hey dear readers it’s been a while eh? In fact, it’s been a whole month since I last put fingers to the keyboard on this here blog as to be honest it was starting to give me quite a bit of anxiety. A month without posting anything and no explanation seems a long time but… Read More Dear Diary: Comparison is the thief of joy
You may have noticed a lack of style posts on this here “lifestyle” blog. To be honest I don’t really have my own personal sense of style (unless you count jeggings and nerdy t-shirts as a style) but I’ve been getting incredibly bored of my wardrobe recently and really want to try to push myself… Read More The Style Files with Being Erica
Last weekend I went to my first ever blogging conference Traverse. I bought the ticket on a whim months ago after meeting one of the organisers Michael at a different event without really putting too much thought into it. Traverse is mainly aimed at travel bloggers though so you may be wondering why on earth… Read More Dear Diary: Things I learned at Traverse 17
Do you wanna be in my gang? I did and yet I’m still not 100% certain what got me here. You see I’m a bit of a tough nut to crack. I endured more than my fair share of betrayal and backstabbing as a teenager and young woman to have great difficulty in trusting people.… Read More Dear Diary: Do you wanna be in my gang?

Happy new year! I hope you all had the best time hanging out with your loved ones over the festive period and are excited for what’s to come in 2017. Let’s be honest 2016 wasn’t the best – very few people I’ve spoken to feel that it was a good year for them personally and… Read More Dear Diary: Ch… ch… ch… changes…
As a blogger I get sent a number of press releases every week and usually I take a quick glance through the content then file it into a subfolder in Gmail called Press Releases then forget about them. Very occasionally, like with restaurant openings, I will drop an email back to the PR to see… Read More Dear Diary: Why I love beards (even though I actually hate them)
August I was in America for the first two weeks of the month so I didn’t get as much reading done as I had hoped – in fact I only read one of the three books I took away with me and that was How not to Disappear* by Clare Furniss which I had been… Read More Dear Diary: What I read in August and September 2016
6 months ago today I was told I was being made redundant. Tomorrow is my last day with the company I’ve been with for over three years. I don’t have another job to go to right now. Tomorrow at 5pm I will officially be unemployed. It’s not like last time. Last time it was my… Read More Dear Diary: Progress is impossible without change
Travel features heavily in my favourites post this month given that I spent 10 days in the US at the start of August. It ended up being WAY more expensive than I’d hoped but was totally worth it. Travel is definitely the one thing you can but that makes you richer! Grand Canyon I was… Read More Favourites – August 2016
