Greetings from Vancouver! Although this trip has been reasonably laid back in comparison to some (we've actually had a couple of day's off which has been a rare treat!) we've still managed to really pack it in.Read more...

Greetings from Heathrow airport! Terminal 3 does feel like it's become a home away from home for me recently. I actually quite like being here, especially as I have my airport routine down. I know which security line is likely to be the quickest (always wait with the single people with briefcases, even if the queue is slightly longer - never get stuck behind a family!) where to get the best deal on currency and who does the most delicious breakfasts (it's Rhubarb by the way...)Read more...

Phew - what a week! In case you missed the memo, on Tuesday The Blogcademy launched Home School, online video tutorials covering lots of lovely blogging subjects. I spent most of the day glued to Twitter and my email, squealing with delight every time a new order came in. Thank you everyone for so much amazingly positive feedback. It was a long time coming, so it really is a thrill to see them being enjoyed!Read more...

I feel like I have a million things to tell you! After what seemed like a lifetime preparing for this trip I was so excited to board my flight to New York just over two weeks ago. I stayed with Gala and Mike at their brand new pad for a few days before heading to San Francisco to crack on with our first Blogcademy workshop of the year.Read more...

The time has finally come for me to pack my bags and hit the road for the first leg of our 2014 Blogcademy world tour! I AM SO EXCITED (can you tell?!) to see my besties again, but most of all to meet 60 new Blogcadettes and teach them about my all time favourite subject - blogging! (As a little side note, I get SO PROUD and excited to see what our workshop attendees do after they leave the classroom. Lucy, who came to London last year, just quit her day job to run her business full time. YAY!!)Read more...

This week started with an Easter egg hunt around my parent's back garden. Yes, my sisters and I might be 26, 28 and 30 respectively, but that didn't stop us - it all got very competitive! I also did a super fun shoot for Claire's on Tuesday at my house, the results of which I'll be sharing really soon. AND tomorrow I'm heading over to The Big Smoke to shoot up a storm with my buddy Chris Barber. It's all go go go in Rock n Roll Bride land!Read more...

I don't know if it's because Spring is finally in the air or because Gareth took it upon himself to do all my dirty washing this week, thus highlighting how completely impossible it is for me to fit all the clothes I own in my wardrobe at the same time... But yesterday I went through all my cupboards and had a good old clear out.Read more...

You know, I often think people are a little disappointed when they find out that my life isn't all that glamorous. I'd imagine people think bloggers are always being whisked off to fabulous parties and that we spend most of our time snapping our perfect instagram-worthy lives. But my everyday life couldn't be further from that fantasy (case in point, taking the above photo was anything but professional!)Read more...

Oh hello there Thursday, my old friend. The end of the working week is nearly upon us and we are so happy to see you! Just what could make this Thursday afternoon even better? A truck load of internet lovelies to entertain us until clocking off time, that's what!Read more...

I spent a glorious three days in Camber Sands with my friends last week. We laughed, we cried, we took about a squillion photographs, we threw confetti at each other, we ate too much food and we drank waaay too much wine... it really was the most awesome weekend ever. The sun shone, the beach was a two minute walk from our house and I even did some arts and crafts with Ronnie and Craig's kids! I'll be sharing more on Monday because the house we stayed in was so damn cute, y'all definitely need to know about it.Read more...

Those of you who followed my recent adventures while I was in Palm Springs might have had a sneaking suspicion that we weren’t just there to soak up the sunshine. Oh no, Gala, Shauna and I were working on a brand new Blogcademy project!Read more...

This week has been hard, one of the most emotionally draining I've had in a long time. I've cried a lot, I've stared at my computer screen not knowing what to do, I've told people I love them more than I ever have before.Read more...
February 20, 2014
This week, hum, what can I say? It's really been pretty uneventful. I'm basically been catching up with emails (oh so many emails!), writing and making Blogcademy-related world takeover plans... all from the comfort of my sweat pants.Read more...

I am writing this post while sat cross-legged on the floor in LAX airport. To say my journey home from Palm Springs has been tumultuous is literally the understatement of the millennium. Two cancelled flights, two missed connections, two very expensive flight changes, two unexpected nights in a random (but actually very lovely) hotel, three lost pieces of luggage and two very weary travellers and we're still trying to get back to Blighty!Read more...

Ahhh! I leave for Palm Springs on Monday and I am SO EXCITED. I don't mean to rub it in or anything but it's currently topping out at 30 degrees over there and I for one can't wait to get my bootie in some sunshine. I wish I was just there to lounge by the pool but there is a slight work element involved, all of which will be revealed in due course (jeez, what a tease).Read more...

I don't know about you but I sure am ready for Spring. This freezing cold weather can quite frankly do one. In fact I've pretty much been hibernating this week month and not leaving the centrally heated cocoon that is our house unless absolutely necessary...Read more...

I had to give myself a bit of a talking to this week. I've been ignoring how I've been treating my body for months now. You see, I have a love/ hate relationship with it. I love making a stand against the media bullshit about weight loss, body image, body shaming (whatever size you are) and all those disgusting advertisements for unhealthy weight loss methods. But at the same time I've been lying... to myself.Read more...

This is it, the last Thursday Treats of 2013! I'll be trying my hardest to take some time away from the internet between Christmas and New Year (who am I kidding?!) so I won't be posting a Treats post next week. Let's make this final one a complete blinder!Read more...
December 12, 2013
With the new year just around the corner, I've been reviewing how I do certain things and seeing how I can make improvements going into 2014. One of the smaller changes I've decided to make is to merge Thursday Treats with Friday's Business Bites post. I've decided that dedicating a whole blog post slot to a second links round up article is a bit of a waste and so instead I'll now be posting either a second Green Room article each week on a Friday afternoon or another real wedding feature! You're very welcome.Read more...
