Over 6 months working from home – my thoughts
I changed jobs completely and went from working in a fast-paced, busy environment (a mainstream senior school) to working from home 4-5 days a week (in admissions for a university)!

What I’ve Learned from Years on Vinted: Second-hand Shopping Guide
I feel confident in saying that 90% of my clothes are bought second-hand now. It feels odd to me to buy from fast-fashion stores anymore.

Why I shaved my head – hair journey
I have a buzzcut now. This is a massive change from the head of curly hair I've had for years. But I've thought about a "big chop" for ages now. Finally, I felt brave enough and took the plunge!
