If I’m honest I wasn’t planning on taking part in Digital Detox Day. I thought it was a great idea, but I was going to let it just slide by much like I would National Talk Like a Pirate Day.
A Reflection on Digital Detox Day
What I realised in 2016
Since 2016 was famously the year of realising stuff I decided to write a list of everything I realised last year (feels weird writing last year when it was only two days ago). full video (30 seconds of your life you will never get back) : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWkYXtnAuu7VTLPwUcRSB6A I realised how much I can achieve if I …
2016: My Year in Review
2016 has been as unpredictable and chaotic as I could ever have imagined. In the same year I thought my entire life was falling apart around me, thinking I had picked the wrong course and altogether wanting to give up and go live in a cave somewhere; I also conquered Africa's highest mountain, spent a …
Gluten Free, Animal Friendly Banana Muffins.
Bit of a different blog post today but I am really happy with how these turned out so I thought I'd share. I picked up some eggs from my Uncle's rescued chickens so I decided to make some Banana Muffins. This recipe uses soya milk and gluten free flour but can be adapted to taste. …

Yesterday I travelled South, slightly, to visit my Uncle, Aunt and their newest additions to the family; two goats. One of the first things I noticed about these two is how much they depend on and love each other; the pair played happily in their paddock and were never too far away from each other. They …

Being Allergic To Gluten Sucks!
I am a sufferer of Coeliac Disease and can I tell you one thing? I would give anything not to be! I was diagnosed when I was eight years old, and apart from the horrible boys at school shouting things at me in the playground for having a week off school, I didn't really notice …
Another Life Update and Thoughts On Christmas
December has been crazy, I didn't even notice it pass. I swear to God it was just Halloween like yesterday, and wasn't I in Morocco the other week? This month I have been crazy focussed...on everything at once! Firstly of course there is Uni which, being in second year, has upped the pace a wee …

Freshers Flu
This time last year I was a genuine fresher, I'd hardly drank a drop of alcohol in my life (it was reserved for special occasions *rolls eyes*). I moved into halls and I stocked up on everything I possibly could to prevent myself from catching the dreaded Freshers Flu. I was terrified of being ill …
The Year of the Facebook Challenge
Today it was my turn to take part in the famous ice bucket challenge, it was cold, it was horrible and in all honesty it was a good laugh. My flat mate Angie did it with me with the help of our other flat mate Leanne and even though we had to battle with spiders …
