Papergang Subscription | February Unboxing
I don’t usually sign up for monthly subscription boxes. I never think the price is worth what you get (this is especially true for book subscriptions), but a few weeks ago I decided to try signing up for the Papergang box since I’m a total sucker for stationery and nice paper things.

What’s In My Everyday Bag
I love reading what’s in my bag type posts, maybe because I just like being nosy but I don’t know. So today I thought I would share what I keep in my everyday bag. I got this backpack from Accessorise many years ago, I love pattern on it. I’m also a big fan of the…

Chunky Shortbread Recipe
I love chunky shortbread however most of the stuff you get in the shops are thin “rounds”. So for the past month I’ve been looking for a really good chunky shortbread recipe. As it turns out, shortbread is really simple to make. You will need: 1/2 cup of sugar. 1 cup of butter. 2 cups…
