Does perfectionism hold you back?

Posted on May 10, 2018August 13, 2021 By Becky

It’s ironic that I’ve been sitting on this post to write for ages, yet haven’t go going with it because I’ve wanted to be in the right frame of mind and make it a decent one…. Today I’m going to talk about perfectionism and how I’ve found it can hold…

DIY Colourful Hexagon Cork Boards

Posted on May 1, 2018 By Becky

I haven’t featured a good old DIY project for a while now (see this post for reasons why!), but I’m feeling a little more back in the zone now so thought I’d show you a great on-trend interiors project for you to have a go at: Colourful Hexagon Cork Boards. …

On juggling freelance life with a baby, and a little mind dump

Posted on April 22, 2018August 13, 2021 By Becky

Slight apologies in advance as this is probably more of a rambling mind dump, but also a check-in “hey, i’m still here” kind of post. It’s been 10 days since I wrote a blog post, which for some people who blog isn’t any time at all, but for myself, who…

10 Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on April 10, 2018 By Becky

Hey, so 4 out of 5 of us are totally better now (fingers crossed) and poor Arlo is slowly on the mend, although he scared the hell out of yesterday by developing a mystery rash and freezing cold hands and feet accompanied by blood-curdling screaming- cue trip to A&E to…

Easter

Posted on April 8, 2018 By Becky

Ahoy there, pretty Easter decorations! Away from The ‘Gram though and the prettiness of some seasonal styling, I have to say that the Easter holidays so far have been pretty shitty (literally), bar a really lovely actual Easter Sunday that involved the best lamb and mint stuffing ever (a Lidl’s…

Why it’s okay to Fail sometimes

Posted on March 20, 2018August 13, 2021 By Becky

I was thinking to myself the other day about how wonderful social media, blogs, vlogs and the like are for celebrating success. Everywhere you look, there are people who have achieved in both big and small ways, in business, academically, in their creative and personal lives, and a whole bunch…

Returning to work and random ramblings

Posted on March 7, 2018 By Becky

So yesterday I returned to my ‘in house’ digital marketing job after 8 months, 8 months that have really whizzed by. As I stepped into the office it felt weird and familiar all at the same, almost as if I’d never taken any time off (aside from the fact I…

10 Things that have made me happy this week

Posted on February 26, 2018 By Becky

Hello! Hope you’re all well? So far it’s been a bit of a mixed Monday- crazy snow here, a couple of great work meetings/con calls, two migraines on two consecutive days (THE WORST), cancellation of big kids’ tennis later today (both a blessing and curse)… hoping Tuesday proves a bit…

How to photograph your home

Posted on February 21, 2018September 11, 2026 By Becky

One of the main skills I have to use when it comes to doing this type of blogging as a job is to be able to photograph interiors- for both posts I want to write myself, as well as creating content for interiors-focused brands. Whilst not everyone reading this will…
