Home Lust List: Roof Windows

by Leave a Comment

Home Lust List: Roof Windows – As I am sure most of you know by now, I currently live in a house share in Birmingham. I planned to live here for a couple of months butit’s actually worked out really well and I have now been here a year. That said, I can’t see myself living in a house share forever, so in 2018 I will more than likely start to look for my own place.

Plus Size Issues: Easy Access Baths

by Leave a Comment

Easy Access Baths – It’s all well and good talking about pretty dresses and where to buy wide fit shoes, but sometimes there are other issues that are involved in living life plus size. I know that if you’re smaller than me these issues might not affect you, in fact I am at a size where many of them don’t affect me but it is important to recognise that they are issues for people and that sometimes we need to look for solutions.

Thinking About Home Improvements

by Leave a Comment

Although I am in a house share at the moment, I have plans later on in the year to get my own place – so of course, I am already thinking about home improvement and what I would do in my own place. I have made my room lovely and homely and I am really happy there, but there is nothing quite like having your own place to do what you want with it.
I want my home to be unique and quirky – I am a big fan of art on the walls, especially body positive stuff. I love having loads of photos around too, a reminder of fun times I have had which is always a good thing. I have two big canvas’ in my room at the moment and I would definitely love to have more should the time arise.
One of the things I love most about being a blogger is how I get introduced to lots of creative people. I know there are lots of people out there that offer lots of different things when it comes to home decor, arts and crafts and more. I would definitely plan to invest in lots of pieces like this – I think supporting a small business would be fantastic and I’ll get something lovely and unique for my home which is always a good thing!
Your home space is really important and it’s essential that you make sure it’s something that’s personal to you. I know that outside of work a majority of my time is spent at home, often on my own so it’s really important that it’s a space that you are happy and comfortable with.
It doesn’t matter about home decor fashions or what is on trend, go for something that you love instead – you’re the one that matters!
What would your perfect home look like?

The Importance of Good Office Furniture

by Leave a Comment

The Importance of Good Office Furniture – For a well run office it’s really important that you look at other pieces of furniture that can help. Organisation is key and I know that office storage is really important for this. You might think that things like filing cabinets aren’t essential, but they really make a massive difference.

Letting in Birmingham

by Leave a Comment

As most of you probably know by now, I recently relocated to the Midlands. A few people have asked me why the big move but honestly I don’t have an exact answer. I fancied a change and so just went for it. When I decided to make the move I wasn’t sure how I could make everything work – I couldn’t find a house without a job and I struggled to find a job when I wasn’t permanently located in Birmingham. In the end I ended up in a house share, which I plan to stay in for a few months before finding my own place.

The Big Move (Sort of) Down South

by Leave a Comment

For those of you have that have been following my blog for a while, you’re know that I started blogging when I lived in London. Although I am originally from down south by family moved up north when I was 21 and I soon followed… I loved living up North but I missed living in a big city so 4 years I moved to London.




I loved every single minute of living in London, it’s definitely a place that has a special place in my heart. Even now when I visit I get an excited feeling as soon as I hit Euston, I can’t explain it at all but it is definitely a place I would consider home. Sadly, London life is just too expensive for me and so after 24 glorious months I moved back home. I’ll be there next week for the British Plus Size Awards though – YAY!


I loved being near to my family again and actually it turned out to be the best 2 years I could have been at home. I can’t even begin to tell you how close I am to my family and living with them for the past 2 years was exactly what I needed, I couldn’t and wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else…. but things change and it was time to move on!


I couldn’t possibly afford to live in London until I win the lottery, so I decided to pick Birmingham! When I announced that I was going to make the move to The Midlands lots of people asked me why but honestly the only reply I could give was why not?


I have been to Birmingham a few times, I’ve a few friends dotted around nearby but nothing that ties me here – I wanted a fresh start and The Midlands proved to be it.

And so here I am!




I’ve now been here a month and I am really enjoying it! Being a grown up again is tough – having to consider things like bills, an actual proper food shop, home security etc – but you know what I really like it. I’ve fallen into a new job I really like, I’ve attended a few blogger events and starting to get really settled.


One thing I have really started to give more thought to is making my home secure. At the moment I am in a house share but the start of next year I hope to get into my own flat and really settle. I’ve been giving lots of thoughts of alarm systems, keeping out burglars and generally protecting my home. 


I guess I have been lucky that this has always been someone else responsibility before, but now it’s time for me to give it some thought! Thankfully the internet has proved really helpful in this so I feel like I could be well-versed enough to be sorted when I am ready to move into my own place. It goes without saying that having a burglar alarm fitted is something that comes recommended.


There seem to be a few blogger events in Birmingham so you might see a bit of a turn in the content I offer here, but I think that’ll make a nice change. I’m looking forward to meeting some news faces and building a new life here in Brummie land.
