3 things I couldn't live without

There are some things in life that just make life worth living and when I reflect upon the 3 things that I couldn’t live without there are a few clear things that beat out the competition. As someone who has recently given up a bunch of diet-related things that other people might say they can’t live without (flour, sugar, all animal products), I wanted to share with you today the things that I just simply couldn’t give up! Animals I…

Ever since I have known him, my husband has been very particular about his clothing from keeping his shoes shiny to choosing the right fit for his trousers and shirts. Although you will find Vlad bumming around the house in shorts and a t-shirt whenever he leaves the house to go to work or meet with friends he usually dresses up a little to make a good impression. Luckily, just as the heat arrived in the UK Vlad was offered…

SAS Business Box Mug

I was pretty scared when I changed from a 9-5 office worker commuting into London every day to a working from home freelance consultant. I knew nothing about starting up and running my own business, registering as a sole trader, doing my own taxes, sending out invoices and making sure I got paid for my work! Luckily, my parents have their own business and I was able to get plenty of advice and support from them when it came to getting…

5 Dull But Necessary Forms Of Self Care

October 6, 2022 in Health

Self-care is the ultimate buzzword of 2019. And rightly so, because how can we care for another if we can’t care for ourselves?

Why I re-branded my blog

September 28, 2022 in Lifestyle

You might have noticed that I recently re-branded my blog to Life in Lilac after nearly 6 years of being called Stylish London Living. I decided that it was time for a change. You may well be wondering what on earth persuaded me to make this change after such a long time and you’re right in thinking that there are many cons to doing this (as a digital marketeer I know these cons more than most!) so I wanted to…
