Christmas Eve is one of the most atmospheric nights of the year. There’s something delicious about the anticipation of Christmas Day and maybe even fantasies of Santa flying across the sky in his reindeer-pulled sleigh.

It’s that time of year where we are all starting our Christmas shopping! Or maybe some of you are super organised and have already finished it? In my case, I have bought a few presents already but I still have a lot more to do. I love looking at gift guides on blogs to get …
One of my favourite things about going for walks is watching the seasons change. Every season brings a unique and different walking experience.
