5 Songs for Running

When I go running (which is often…but not often enough!) I find that I can always run further, with more confidence, if the music is right. It helps keep me motivated and steady if the beat is consistent. Here are my five favourite songs to run to…

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap- AC/DC

How to Enjoy Life Now That You’re Dairy Free… 2020 Edition

I’ve done posts about this before with some of my favourite lactose/dairy free snacks. I am lactose intolerant and have had issues with milk since I was around 14 years old, so I’ve been trying different diary free snacks for years. I have to say that the last few years have seen a DRASTIC improvement on the quality and taste of the snacks. Here’s some of my favourites…

5 Songs for Inspiring Writing

One of the first things I was taught when I entered the world of advertising is that music is your best tool for manipulating emotion. This is common sense really when you think about it, music affects your mood and everyone enjoys different genres and styles at different times.

My own personal music taste is eclectic and day to day, there’s no telling what I’ll prefer. Normally, I prefer rock…

Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations

Watching this last week unfold has been like reading a turbulent history book.

Pandemic. Endeavour. Protest.

Lockdown and quarantine of communities around the world is still ongoing as we wait for a vaccine to stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus. We have come together in solidarity despite our distance to find ways of keeping healthy, happy and safe. We’ve expressed our gratitude for…

Favourites of the Month, May 2020

Can you believe May is over?! Where have the months gone! Anyway, here are my favourite things in May 2020…

Jane Austen

I’ve been working my way through Jane Austen’s classic novels. So far I’ve read Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Northanger Abbey, Persuasion and I’m working my way through Emma. Those old romance novels have never been a genre I was interested in but I’m really…

Favourites of the Month, April 2020

Welcome to Quarantine Life! It’s making this favourites thing a little bit tougher as I don’t have as much freedom to go out and explore, shop and entertain myself but there’s good to be found everywhere. In the wise words of Albus Dumbledore ‘Happiness can be found in the darkest of places if one simply remembers to turn on the light.’

KISS Monopoly

This was a GENIUS purchase! Its was £25 on…

Favourites of the Month, March 2020

Well it’s been a funny old year, 2020! I was lucky enough to kick start it with some amazing adventures and exciting events so I’m not suffering too badly under the Quarantine. I know many people are and I hope that everyone is staying safe, well and happy where they can.

My favourites things in March 2020…Let’s go!

Kiss Mini Golf

If you’re passing through Las Vegas and you’ve got some time…

Cirque du Soleil: R.U.N- Review

Recently I had the pleasure of catching the Cirque du Soleil show, RUN, literally a few days before it closed on March 5th 2020. We payed just shy of $85 each for tickets and had a great view on the front row of the second section, just beyond the alley. However I personally don’t think it matters where you sit in those theatres, the size of the theatre and interactive nature of the show means…

I wrote a very short piece on my blog about the death of my best friend and dog, Harvey last year and since then a LOT has changed. I said that I didn’t want to get another dog, at least not yet, because Harvey was very special to me and I didn’t want to feel like I was replacing him.

Well nobody listens to me and they went right ahead and bought a puppy a few months later! I’m writing as…

Grand Cayman- October 2019

This is a very late post (bad bad Sarah) because so much has been going on and I’ve only just found the time to sit down and write it. It’s long overdue and it’s very exciting so please do stick with me! In October 2019, I was so blessed to be able to travel the 4,650 miles from the United Kingdom to Grand Cayman, BWI to visit my family.

This was my fourth visit to the Island to visit my Aunt,…

Viva Las Vegas!- March 2020

It’s a difficult time to be plagued with Wanderlust, but I was blessed to have been able to satisfy my travel needs before it was unsafe to do so. On March the 4th, I flew to Las Vegas, Nevada with my best friend for what promised to be the holiday of a lifetime.

Straight off the bat, it was an incredible experience. We flew with Virgin Atlantic and they couldn’t have been more helpful and…

Most New Year’s resolutions are something that you feel you should be doing, that you aren’t doing…because deep down you don’t want to do it. This year instead of challenging myself to ‘eat more veg’ or ‘go to the gym’, I decided to encourage myself to be a bit braver and do something I want to do.

My New Year’s Resolution:

“To do at least 1 thing a week that I enjoy and to do at least 1…

10 years of love and support is hard to summarise. It’s hard to forget and it’s even harder to live without. In November, we had to say goodbye to our best friend Harvey. It was an extremely horrible and difficult time watching him go downhill and eventually making the tough decision to say goodbye. We did the right thing and we know that, but he was such a huge part of our family it felt wrong…

Weekly Favourites, April Week 1

Spring has sprung and it’s having a good go at trying all the different types of weather! We’ve had snow, thunder storms, rain, summer sunshine and hail so far! Waiting for the tornado any day now…

Anyway! On to my weekly favourites… heads up, most of them are food.

Olive and Bean

I’ve had a very chilled out week at work this week and so I treated myself to lunch at Olive and Bean in…

Disneyland Paris March 2019

I’m back in business after another perfect trip to Disneyland Paris! This is my eighth trip to the resort now and yet again it didn’t disappoint. I have a few posts in mind to talk about some of my favourite things from snacks, to shows but for now I’m going to simply recount my trip (with some cutie pictures) to remind me of what a good time I had!

Day One

Our flight left Newcastle at 6am…

Favourites of the Week- March Week 1

We’re back back back again!

This week has been very busy and a tad stressful for me, but it was all good things! Here are the things that I am grateful for or that I enjoyed this week!

My new yellow coat

I am going to Disneyland in a week (omg omg omg) and in the past 7 visits to Disneyland Paris, it has poured with rain every single time. I don’t mind the rain as it makes the parks a bit…

Favourites of the Week- February Week 4

I have had the most perfect week ever and I am so unbelievably grateful for everything that has happened. I’ve overcome some huge challenges and all the while, been careful to remember how thankful I am for the people around me who have helped me and supported me.

So, without further ado…

Animals

At work, I had the pleasure of visiting a local farm with a zoo license! While I was there for…
