Sustainable Fashion Brands
I want to keep a list of sustainable fashion brands that I would like to try in the future so that whenever I am ready to purchase something new, I don’t have to spend hours looking online at different stores and figuring out if they’re sustainable or not. Anytime I find a new one, I…
The best ASOS bikini I have ever bought
I have just posted this photo to my Instagram and as someone who struggles to find the perfect bikini, I think this is a strong contender! I love the tie detail, the colour, the cut, the shape.. it’s so flattering, so comfy to wear, super supportive without any under wiring and it’s affordable. This bikini…

Road Trip Day One – The Everglades & Naples
Driving through The Everglades Jeremie and I spent a weekend away during the pandemic. We were sick of being in the apartment, so went away for 4 days for the 4th of July weekend. We drove from Miami, through the Everglades and stopped along the way to see some alligators. It was such a beautiful…
Payote Espadrilles
Payote Espadrilles I have always loved the ease and comfort of espadrilles, but when Jeremie took me to see his friend’s shoe company, I had to get a pair of these. They are made in France from recycled plastic found in the Mediterranean Ocean. They have a couple of different colours but I was particularly…

TikiYogi Swimwear

Teamoy 10Pcs Sanitary Pad Review

6 weeks of self quarantine

How to travel to Cuba as a tourist
Do I need a visa? Yes. When you book your flights you should be directed to a website that can organise the visa for you. It costs around $100 each which you pay for online. I think you can also purchase the visa at the airport before you fly but I always prefer to get…
Wanting to try again
To try or not to try I’ll be honest. After losing 3 babies in the past 3 years, it is hard to stay positive. To keep wanting to try again. To put yourself in the situation where you could be heartbroken again and again. The decision to try for a baby feels bigger and bigger…
Miscarriage at 8 weeks in Cuba
Getting pregnant Jeremie and I decided in September that we wanted to get pregnant again, so in October we started trying and got pregnant in the first month of trying. We were very realistic about the fact that I might have a miscarriage or need to have an abortion after what happened last time and…
1 week of Meditation
Why I did 1 week of meditation So, in all honesty, I wouldn’t have usually done a week of meditation by myself. But Jeremie won a week of meditation & yoga classes at Modern Om in Miami. And as he is away this week, he gave it to me and encouraged me to go along.…

The British Hamper Company
I don’t often talk about food on my blog. I usually talk about places I have visited and then discuss what I would recommend and what I would give a miss. But when The British Hamper Company contacted me and asked if I would like to have a hamper full of delicious British foods sent…
Inside Vizcaya, Miami – USA
I have been to Vizcaya several times for photoshoots but this is the first time I really explored the inside and it did not disappoint. It reminds me a lot of Versailles in Paris, but just a smaller more Italian version! At the entrance, there is a large open space with glass panels on the…

Bocas House, Coral Gables – USA
I don’t usually like milkshakes and I blame my mum for that. When we were kids we had our medication with strawberry milkshake and since then I can’t go near the stuff – and even the smell of the Mc Donalds ones makes me feel ill. However, I specifically went to Bocas House for one…

The Umbrella Sky Project is a travelling art installation which has previously been in Paris & Lisbon. It arrived in Miami on June 13th 2018 and will only be here for a couple more weeks (until September 16th 2018 I think) so if you’re in Miami or will be visiting soon, go go go! The…
