You may remember that last summer I was lucky enough to spend the best day in Somerset being introduced to lots of independent brands thanks to Olivia from WKND:in. As a blogger one of the most rewarding things is being able to get to know interesting and inspiring companies to shout about.

After a wee Christmas break, it feels nice to be back writing again. This NYE I barely thought about my resolutions or goals, which is very unusual for me. I love to plan things out and look towards the future. I really enjoy streamlining and making improvements to my life. This time around though, I had none of those feelings.

Ahhh Christmas music, a bone of contention for most families. Don't get me wrong I do love the classic (and cheesy) Christmas tunes as much as the next gal but by the time the big day itself rolls around I'm usually a bit fed up of hearing the same old songs over and over again.
