A Little Bedroom Re-Arrange For Autumn
- post in collaboration with Juniqe -
I’ve been meaning to rejig our bedroom for months and I’ve made little changes here and there but last week with the push of having some new prints to hang I finally set aside an evening to switch things up. Whilst the current set up worked for us and didn’t look terrible I knew it could look better and I’m so pleased with how it looks now and I’ve managed to tackle all the clutter that was hanging around which is a relief. It’s quite a large space but something I struggle to work around is the boarded up fireplace which I so desperately wish hadn’t been boxed up as it could have made a wonderful feature. Anyway, here are the small changes that I’ve made and the difference that it’s made.

Mastering The Beachy Wave
Typically the topic of beauty is reserved for the week over on this part of the internet but after getting a flurry of questions in my DM’s about my hair. I thought I’d do a little bit of an update as my hair has certainly changed a lot over the past few months. Going gradually lighter and lighter has meant that I’ve needed up my haircare game as well as continue to work on mastering the beachy wave and I think I’m finally there, well for now anyway…
Something To Get You In The Autumn Spirit
Something that I get maybe a little too much joy from is dressing my tech for the season. I always have, it started with getting different cases from car boot sales for my Nokia 3310 and nowadays it’s painstakingly picking a home screen for my iPhone. So I thought today I would give you my favourite autumnal images for you to use for your tech as it was such a hit on my Instagram stories the other day.
The Worriers Guide To Living In The Moment
A few days ago over on my Instagram, I asked if there was anything specific you’d like to see on the blog and this idea came into my inbox.
