Feminists Needed

  I am confused. What does being a feminist actually mean nowadays? One minute I am being told that being a feminist means I should be taking selfies and embracing the way I look. Complete ... Read More

  • We are "barge-ing" our way through this week (see what I did there? Barge boat...Sorry, not sorry 😬) Over on the blog I'm sharing the first part of our trip to Amsterdam. Link in profile. Devastated by the Brexit news. I was hoping (I know, I know) that it wouldn't go ahead😢 . . . . . . . . .#mycityloves #theprettycities #prettylittletrips #topeuropephoto #culturetrip #europetrip #beautifuldestination #cntraveler #living_europe #amsterdam_streets #amsterdamcanals #amsterdamgram #visitamsterdam #amsterdamlife #amsterdamtrips #visualoflife
  • Hands up if you aren't a morning person 🙋‍♀️ I've never been a morning person, unlike my oldest daughter who springs out of bed at 6:30am 😲 I'm really struggling at the moment. I'm going to bed early but I'm still hitting snooze on the alarm clock 20 billion times. When I do get up I resemble a sloth. I move very slowly and require all the coffee. However, when we were in Amsterdam and I had this view......I was up at the crack of dawn. Funny that. Do you have any tips for getting up early? Preferably ones that don't involve me moving to Amsterdam. Although that would be lovely 😂 #hotelstyle #hotelhilton #hotelview #hotelroomview #windowviews #windowframe #doubletreeamsterdam #doubletreebyhilton #prettylittletrips #culturetrip #europetrip #beautifuldestination #cntraveler #living_europe #amsterdam_streets #amsterdamcanals #amsterdamgram #visitamsterdam #amsterdamlife #amsterdamtrips #visualoflife #hoteldoubletreebyhilton #cityview
  • “I love the feeling of being anonymous in a city I’ve never been before.” – Bill Bryson I'm dreaming of Amsterdam. We had such a lovely trip, walked for miles and stumbled upon so many pretty sights. I would love to go back one day. ❤ I love Jersey but it is only 9 by 5 miles and some days you just yearn for a change of scene. Ecaping the rock and exploring a city was good for the soul. Plus, you can stock up on your shopping. There was a Primark with 6 floors. 6 FLOORS! And there was an H&M, Zara and so many other shops and cool boutiques. 😍😍 What's your favourite city? . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . #mycityloves #theprettycities #prettylittletrips #topeuropephoto #culturetrip #europetrip #beautifuldestination #cntraveler #living_europe #amsterdam_streets #amsterdamcanals #amsterdamgram #visitamsterdam #amsterdamlife #amsterdamtrips #visualoflife
  • Do you have any Christmas traditions? We always have to watch the Elf film as soon as we hit December, our tree goes up on the 14th December, the day after Youngest's birthday, and I have to eat at least 10 Yule Logs before Christmas is out. Now I have a brand new Christmas tradition, reading the perfect Christmas book that will make you feel all warm and loved up. That book is One Day in December by @josiesilverauthor This novel is utter perfection. Like a delicious mug of hot chocolate (or a cream cake!), not too sickly, not too sweet, just lovely and heartwarming. You will want to read it again and again. Head over to read my review of this novel, link in bio. Disclaimer- I was gifted this novel as part of Mumsnet Book Club, in return for my honest review. . . . . . . . . . . #mumsnetbookclub #mnbookclub #bookblogger #booklove #booknerd #booksofinstagram #bookgeek #bookshelf # booksbooksbooks #bookish #instareads #fiction #literaturelover #literary #goodreads #readersofinstagram readersofig #booktastic #bookstagram
  • Ever feel like you're being watched? This was taken at the MoCo Museum in Amsterdam. They had a Banksy exhibition on and it was just brilliant. I love how Banksy's work forces us to examine ourselves and society. Banksy's work is also about hope ❤ and kindness ❤. Talking of kindness, I've written a post about the dark side of Instagram and how it can often feels like kindness is missing, how people can be quick to judge, form camps and criticise. You can find the link to my post in my Instagram bio. A week later and I'm still thinking about Banksy - we need to spread kindness, strive for peace and we should always listen to our heart ❤. . . . . . . .#amsterdammusuem #art #banksyamsterdam #bansky #streetart #prettylittletrips #topeuropephoto #culturetrip #europetrip #beautifuldestination #cntraveler #living_europe #amsterdam_streets #amsterdamgram #visitamsterdam #amsterdamlife #amsterdamtrips #visualoflife #streetartistery #graffitiart
  • Last week we escaped to Amsterdam for my birthday and it was glorious. I made sure that I got my culture fix, shopping fix and pancake fix. 😍 I'm now dreaming about living in a canal boat or in one of the beautiful canalside homes❤, I just need to convince the rest of the family 😏. . . . . . #mycityloves #theprettycities #prettylittletrips #topeuropephoto #culturetrip #europetrip #beautifuldestination #cntraveler #living_europe #amsterdam_streets #amsterdamcanals #amsterdamgram #visitamsterdam #amsterdamlife #amsterdamtrips #visualoflife
  • Instagram cliche alert - we all love to pose against a wall. 🙈 But this photo sums up how we are all feeling right now! One more day and then we all have the week off work - yippee! It's nearly my birthday (always 21) - yippee! And we are escaping to Amsterdam for a couple of days! The plan was to go back to the UK but then we found a really good deal for Amsterdam. Very excited! We have already booked tickets for several museums, a restaurant for my birthday tea and I'm hoping to go on the A'dam Tower swing. Does anyone have any other recommendations for where else we should we go? . . . . #capturingmoments #familydaysout #disneylandparis2018 #instaphoto #disneylandparis #instagramwall #travelblogger
  • Are you nearly ready for GBBO? In honour of GBBO I'm resharing my 5 Halloween Hacks for creating yummy tasting but gruesome looking treats 😍 I like to think that Paul Hollywood would give me his famous handshake for these beauties.😂 Go and give the post a read and check out the stress vein on my forehead. The children kept throwing spiders at me. What is it they say? Never work with children....Yup 😬 #halloween🎃 #halloween2018 #halloweenfoodporn #halloweenideas #hallowerntreats #gbbo #barratthalloweenhacks #foodstagram #foodislife❤️ #halloweensweets👻🐱🎃🍭 #halloweensweets
