Today I have a fun travel post (and video!) sharing some of my favourite things to do in the beautiful city of Aix-en-Provence.
Located in the South of France, it was definitely one of my favourite places that we visited while on our honeymoon!
While I do of course love big cities like Paris, I always seem to fall head over heels for the smaller towns that just seem to have that extra special magic about them, and the area we stayed (right in the middle of the Old Town) was oozing with charm and delights around every corner!
Beautiful old buildings, moss-covered fountains (it’s known as “The City of a Thousand Fountains” for a reason!), and vibrant markets held in the town squares under the shade of giant plane trees.. a perfect French town to explore!
A Review of "Your Best Life" by Kelly Trach - An Online Course To Help You Master Your Mindset
Today I’m sharing my review of an online course I’ve been taking called Your Best Life, created by Kelly Trach (host of one of my favourite podcasts - The Kelly Trach Show!) It’s about a topic I’ve been deep diving into over the past year - the power of mindset in helping to create a life you love.
While I've always been a pretty positive person, like so many people I've often struggled with anxiety, worry and just that general feeling of never being quite good enough. While in some ways perfectionism can be a good thing, driving you to improve and and achieve your goals, that feeling of always questioning yourself is not very pleasant (or healthy)!
This year I've been really focusing on mastering my mindset and thoughts, noticing those negative patterns and working through them... and the results have been pretty incredible I have to say.
How To Create A Gallery Wall
Today we're talking about Gallery Walls!
Having recently put up this little collection of prints and photos on our wall at home, I thought it would be fun to share a few of my tips and tricks to help you create one of your own.
There are so many different ways of putting together a Gallery Wall and I love that you can really show your own personal style through the prints you choose, the frames, the colours (or lack of colours!), the arrangement and of course the ability to display personal photos in a way that is a little more artsy and creative.

Good morning friends!
If you're anything like me, the dark and dreary winter days can sometimes leave you feeling a little down or low energy, and it's so easy to slip into wearing the same winter "uniform" over and over (particularly when you're getting dressed early in the morning and it's still dark and soo cold!)
So today's simple style tips will hopefully help to not only brighten your wardrobe, but also lift your mood a little too!
Read moreA Fancy French Affair - Talking Costumes and Creativity
Hello Hello!
(or should I say Bonjour?!)
Today I have a French Can-Can dancer costume to share that I put together for my best friend Emily and her fiancé’s house warming party last Saturday (Her fiancé, Francois, is French and the party happened to be held on Bastille day!)
I’ve always loved dressing up, so costume parties are a great excuse to rummage through the old dress up box at my parent’s house where we've accumulated quite an assortment of interesting clothing items over the years and that come in very handy for these kind of occasions!
I feel like piecing together costumes is one of my secret talents, and a huge part of the fun when it comes to costume parties is the creative process of playing around, styling things in different ways and seeing what you can come up with! After reading Elizabeth Gilbert’s book “Big Magic” I’ve realised that creativity takes many forms, and this is one of the ways I used to express creativity all the time when I was younger and that I’ve really missed lately!
As kid’s we would always dress up and play make-believe, making up wild stories and putting on an endless number of plays for our parents, and while those days may be long behind us, I love the occasional chance to step back into that world of imagination.
