(AD/Guest Post) Interior Tips: Art Deco

AD/GUEST POST

With so many things to consider when giving your home a face lift, it’s difficult to pinpoint exactly what you want the end product to look like. Do you want a classic look throughout? Maybe a more modern feel, or an amalgamation of the two? 

Even then there are so many styles and finishes to consider that it can be overwhelming. If you’re looking for some guidance, here we talk through the art deco interior essentials for your kitchen, living room and bedroom. 

Art deco was the predominant decorative style of the 1920s and 1930s. Characterized by bold geometric shapes and strong colours that remain so popular in today’s homes, if that sounds like a bit of you, then keep reading!

Valentine's Day in lockdown (AD/gifted)

This post contains gifted items (AD/GIFTED) and affiliate links

Let's be honest... Valentine's Day during a global pandemic is not something I ever thought I would experience, but we've now celebrated birthdays, our 10 year anniversary and more during lockdown, so I'm used to it at this point, haha. I actually love Valentine's Day, even more now as a mum, because I always prepare a fun Valentine's Day breakfast for the kids too, pancakes, heart shaped toppings and lots of fresh cream, hot chocolates and cute decorations everywhere. This year the plan is the same and for me and Scott, it will be some lovely gin cocktails and a candlelit dinner maybe, if the kids let us, haha. I was kindly sent a few gifts from Moonpig to make our Valentine’s Day even more special and I’m really looking forward to having a low key lockdown celebration. 

How to stay motivated and on track with daily workouts

Hi everyone! Long time no... blog?  Haha. I know, I know... I haven’t blogged at all in 2020, but I’m forgiven, right? Pandemic and all... If you follow me on Instagram, you might already know that I dedicated the whole of 2020 to self care, fitness and working on myself. It was blissful! I trained to climb Ben Nevis and I did it in September and it was the best feeling ever! In the process, I lost 120lbs and I look like a different person (well, like myself 10 years ago), but this is not about weightloss. And guess what? That’s the key to changing your mindset! Let me give you all the tips for staying consistent, finding motivation and moving your body for reasons other than weightloss!
