Lifestyle & Cosy Joy
A mix of all the little things that make life feel good - from book recommendations and seasonal routines to cosy rituals and simple pleasures. Think of this space as inspiration for slowing down, enjoying the everyday, and adding a little extra joy to your life.
Moving On
Hello Stranger!
Well this is new. How’re you liking the new location? I’ve always loved the SquareSpace adverts and love the different design options. So, after months of research and lots of back and forth, I made the plunge and moved from WordPress to SquareSpace. Due to the popularity of a number of posts over on TwentyNothings, that blog shall remain. However, I have posted some of my favourite posts right here too; so please go and check them out.
My Travel Bucket List
I’ve always wanted to travel and am forever dreaming of all the adventures that I want to go on. So, I have compiled a bucket list of the current places that I want to go to for those of you interested and to try and motivate myself to get off my ass and do things.
It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
Anyone who knows me knows that Christmas is my favourite time of year. I love the lights, the atmosphere, the shopping, the food (especially the food) and the fact that it brings people together.
How I Write Blog Posts
Okay so I absolutely love writing blogs posts. It allows me to talk about my thoughts and feelings in a more creative way but also, hopefully, helps other people and encourages them to talk about their thoughts and feelings too.
Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls
My boyfriend came up with the name of this blog post…I’m so sorry…
Last weekend I took a trip to North Wales to spend a long weekend with my boyfriend and his family & friends. I wanted to learn more about where he lives and just appreciate being back in the Welsh countryside as I miss it so much (I know that I’m from the South and I was in the North, but it was close enough).
My 21st Birthday
I’d like to begin this post by thanking everyone that made my 21st birthday special. Whether you were with me to celebrate, gave me a card or even wished me a happy birthday on Facebook, it all meant a lot to me.
I’d originally planned to write about all of the funny stories and chats that we had. But, honestly, I think that it’s better to keep them between those that were there. However, I will share a few things and some funny photos that I’m more than happy to share…enjoy!
My Love For Bleach London
In this post I will specifically be talking about their hair dye as I haven’t really tried any of their other products (besides their Swamp Spritz Sea Spray which I also love).
Autumn/Winter Style Inspirations - September 2018
I started my third year of uni today, and so in lieu of actually preparing for my most daunting year in education I decided to sit and talk about what has been inspiring me for the Autumn and Winter seasons. Mainly because I can’t stay off of Instagram long enough to actually think about my coursework, but also because I really don’t want to.
Weekend Away In North Wales
Yes, I actually went somewhere.
I’d sort of pre-planned this blog post as I knew that I was going for a little weekend away with my boyfriend to a cottage in North Wales. However, we spent most of the weekend in the hot tub, so this post isn’t going to be filled with loads of adventure like I’d initially thought. But I’m writing about it anyway as I still had an amazing time and would recommend the place to any couples looking for a break away from the norm.
My Third Home
Obviously my first home is Wales and my second home is Liverpool. So, what’s my third home you ask? That would be IKEA. Anyone who knows me will know how much I love IKEA. I just talk about it constantly. I know that you probably think that it’s a bit of a random thing to have such a love for but let me explain.
The One About Tinder
I’ve re-written this post so many times and each result is very different. I quite enjoyed using Tinder. Although kinda shy, I am quite a sociable person. So, I enjoyed the conversational element and the ability to speak to such a wide range of people.
My Most Worn Items - July 2018
Will I ever stop talking about clothes?
I love clothes. Like a lot. So, this was super difficult to narrow down, but I tried my best. Any other outfits that I like will be featured on my Instagram (when I actually find photos that I like).
Baby's First Hangover
So yesterday, I experienced my first ever hangover…
A Fuckboy-Magnet's Guide to Fuckboys
From what I have experienced there are three types of fuckboys; the ‘reforming fuckboy’ (I am yet to find one that has ‘’fully reformed’’), the ‘active fuckboy’, and the ‘fuckboy in denial’. No matter which category the individual falls into, fuckboys are set out to mess with your head.
