A Feminist Issue

I feel compelled to put my thoughts somewhere, and this seems a good a place as any. Feminism seems to be the topic of conversation right now, from Emma Watson's incredible speech to the UN, to that Tinder experiment and all the way to the Chanel runway at Paris Fashion Week. Feminism is the current topic for debate, but why should equal rights be questioned or discussed? It should just be. 

Healthy Blueberry Muffins Recipe

So the health kick is continuing and today I bring you a recipe to help with the 4pm cake/anything sweet craving. These are surprisingly delicious and so much better for you than your regular sugar fix. 

Healthy Pancake Recipe

I saw this recipe posted a few weeks ago for pancake day, but I'm a pancake lover so was excited to try a slightly healthier version. 

Healthy Pizza Recipe

Inspired by a post I saw on A Beautiful Mess a few weeks ago, followed by Lily Pebbles making her version, I really wanted to try this healthy pizza recipe and it's incredible.

Going for 'The Chop'

Me and my hair, it's forever a love hate relationship. I cut it short and I want it long again, I grow it long and I decide I want it short again. Story of my life. Well, I've had it long for ages now and decided it was time for an update for spring/summer so decided to go for the chop. 

The Best Nights Sleep

I've known about This Works for a long time and am obsessed with their cult Perfect Legs product. I was given the Deep Sleep Pillow Spray for Christmas and I can honestly say I'm obsessed with this as well now. 

The Perfect Travel Companion

Ah, love at first sight. It really was with this Nars At First Sight palette. Whilst I was thinking about packing for my recent trip away, I was deciding what make-up to pack. When I'm travelling, after the first few days I kind of give up on the whole make-up thing so I didn't want to pack the whole shebang, but knew I'd want something for nights out (and maybe just a touch of concealer for the mornings after). Not to mention I was obviously limited with space. 

Baking: Lemon Drizzle Cake

I was in the mood for baking this Sunday, so decided on a lemon drizzle loaf. No reason why apart from the fact it's completely delicious! Keep reading for a step-by-step of the recipe I used.

The Wanderer Returns - Cambodia

The final stop on my trip was Cambodia where I was taking part in a two week teaching bootcamp in a town called Kampong Cham. We had around 50 adults each week who are English teachers in schools around Cambodia, and come to the bootcamp to improve their English and learn different techniques to help them teach their students better. The programme is so worthwhile and is supported by the company I work for, Festival Republic. They have been raising money to build another building at a school called Krola, and they also fund a teeth brushing scheme at Tonlebet school, so the children are able to brush their teeth 6 times a week and visit a dental clinic. The work that is being done by Bike4Cambodia is incredible and really helps the Cambodians learn new skills and have a better life.

The Wanderer Returns - Bali

After a month in Australia the time came to head to our next stop - Bali. We were only there for just under a week, but we had a lovely time just relaxing and exploring. You can se what we got up to in Oz here - part 1, part 2, part 3. 

The Wanderer Returns - Australia Part 3

You can take a look at part 1 and part 2 of my adventure here and here, but part 3 concludes my Australian adventure. We had such an amazing time, met loads of awesome people and did everything that we wanted to do including scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef and sky diving over Mission Beach - more on those 2 later. 

The Wanderer Returns - Australia Part 2

If you haven't read part 1 you can catch up here, but in a nutshell I decided to go travelling with a friend of mine to Australia, Bali and Cambodia for 2 months. Part 2 continues on from Brisbane…

The Wanderer Returns - Australia Part 1

Travelling is good for the soul. After spending 2 months away I really believe this is true. I decided, on a bit of a whim, to go travelling for a bit as I had just finished work and thought why not? I managed to recruit up my friend Emma and off we went! We spent a month in Australia, a week in Bali and 2 weeks in Cambodia teaching English.
