Lifestyle

There’s no niche here, just life. When I first started blogging in 2014 with my first blog (which sadly no longer exists), I tried so hard to find ‘my niche’ and focus on one thing, which is mainly why it came to a dead end. In the end, I should’ve stuck with what I was doing, which I am re-doing now, and posted content I enjoyed. Who cares if one week it’s about tips for working from home, and the following week it’s about my new kitchen shelf – our lives vary and things that spark an interest change all the time, so you’ll find a bit of everything here.

7th May 2022

*affiliate links. I’ve always enjoyed curling up on the sofa with a good book and a cuppa, but before this year, I didn’t do it as often as I’d like. Anxiety played a big part of that – at its worst, which was late 2021/early 2022, I simply stopped doing what I once loved. But […]

So, I started searching for either a subscription service for […]
