One of the benefits of lockdown is that it has caused so many women to start up small businesses selling everything from stickers to candles. I love supporting small businesses as it feels much more personal and often the products are better made. For Galentine’s Day this year, I wanted to share some of the…
2020 has been a challenging one. Not just on a personal level, but for every human being on earth who has been impacted by the chaos of the Coronavirus pandemic. It's been months since I've written my last blog post. I think in the midst of it all I fell out of love with writing…
