Living better, but with less
I can’t believe it’s already February in 2023! Time is going by so quickly and that being said, now is the best time to try and get organised for the year. One of the things I always do at the start of every year is make my list of gifts. That is, a list of…

I know…it’s September. However…I’ve almost finished my Christmas shopping…I’d say I’m 70% of the way there. How I did it?

Sometimes I feel…conflicted. I like to live with less, to live a relatively minimalist lifestyle. As I’ve previously discussed, I don’t consider myself to be an extreme minimalist or anything like that (I have a lot of shoes still haha) but I do try to not bring unnecessary things into my home or more to…

Living with Less We are currently renovating our bathroom (on a budget) which I will write about when it’s been completed – hopefully next week!
