It’s often the little details that bring a space to life – a well-placed cushion, a framed print, or the perfect shade of paint. But there’s one design element that quietly shapes the entire mood of a room, and it’s all too easy to overlook: lighting.
Home updates don’t always need a full makeover or a big budget. In fact, some of the most satisfying changes come from small tweaks that breathe new life into everyday spaces. If you’ve ever looked at a tired chair, a faded cushion, or a dated headboard and thought, “I wish I could just give that a quick refresh,” the good news is – you absolutely can.
When the sun comes out, the garden quickly becomes the most-used “room” of the house. Whether it’s family barbecues, messy outdoor play, or just sitting down with a cuppa while the kids run around, having a space that works for everyone makes a huge difference. And with just a few thoughtful additions, even the most basic outdoor space can feel like a personal retreat.
There are moments in life when logic alone doesn’t feel like enough. Times when we’re faced with questions that don’t have neat answers, or when we’re navigating feelings that sit quietly beneath the surface. In those moments, it’s natural to seek something softer, something that helps us feel seen, heard, and gently supported.
Big plans often come with a lot of excitement, weddings, holidays, work events, or once-in-a-lifetime trips. But for many women, there’s also that familiar background thought: What if the timing’s off? Whether it’s managing family life or making the most of a rare weekend away, feeling comfortable and in control of your own body makes a big difference.
The first of December is not far away, and I always get so excited about my Advent calendar! There’s just something so special about that daily countdown to Christmas. The anticipation, the little surprises, and the joy it brings to everyone in the house. I love seeing which advent calendars people choose each year, so I thought I’d share a few I’ve found for 2025.
There’s definitely something here for everyone in the family!
Your front yard is the first thing that people see when they pull up to your house. But let's be real; it's the last thing that we think of - unless our neighbours have an immaculate, perfect one and suddenly we're concerned about property value. Fortunately, you don't need lawn staff and a major budget to achieve a seemingly put-together front yard. Making a few small changes does wonders for how nice your house looks from the street.
