Goodbye, Disqus! My Blog Has a New Comments Section

If you’ve visited my blog recently, you may have noticed that the comments section looks a little different! For years, I’ve used Disqus to manage comments on my blog. At the time, it seemed like a great idea, but over the years it became more and more frustrating to use. Not only did it start displaying rather questionable adverts (which really didn’t fit the vibe of my little corner of the…

The Unexpected Magic of Dancing

Welcome to another Tell Us About challenge! Every month, a group of us bloggers write about the same topic, each sharing our own memories and experiences. This month, it was my turn to choose the prompt, and I picked Dancing. After writing about Sunshine last month, this one felt like the perfect excuse to revisit some of my favourite memories. If you’d asked me what I wanted to be when I was…

Tell Us About Sunshine: A Midlife Love Letter to Sunny Days

For years, if you’d asked me about sunshine, I’d probably have rolled my eyes and told you I preferred clouds, rain and cool weather. Growing up in Portugal, where sunshine is practically a permanent resident, I eventually became a bit fed up with it. While most people were celebrating another hot, bright day, I was dreaming of winter evenings, dramatic thunderstorms and thick grey clouds rolling…

Why physical photos are making a major comeback in 2026

After years of storing memories on phones, in the cloud, and on social media feeds, people are starting to print photos out once more. In 2026, physical photos aren’t just something you get after a major event like a wedding – they’re increasingly becoming a major part of everyday decor. But why? What’s prompted this shift from the digital to the physical? Let’s take a look: People are sick of…

Build Me Up Buttercup | Songful Style Challenge

There’s something about old songs that instantly lifts your mood, isn’t there? When it came to choosing this month’s Songful Style challenge song, I knew I wanted something upbeat, colourful and just plain fun. Life can feel heavy enough these days, so I decided to go with the absolute classic: Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundations. If you’ve somehow never heard it (where have you been?!),…

Tell Us About Water: A Midlife Reflection on Something I Both Love and Fear

If you’re new here, Tell Us About is a monthly blogging challenge where a group of us come together to explore a single prompt—each in our own voice, from our own little corner of the world. It’s one of those lovely, low-pressure creative spaces where there are no rules, just stories, thoughts, and honest reflections. Last month, we explored Dreams, and this month, Rosie has given us the theme of…

The Magic and Messiness of Life Lately

Life lately has felt a little strange, if I’m honest. I turned 50 a few months ago and I don’t think anyone really prepares you for how oddly blurred this stage of life can feel sometimes. Not terrible. Not dramatic. Just… a bit off somehow. Some days I feel completely myself — inspired, excited, full of ideas and wanting to create all the things. Other days, I sit at my computer procrastinating…

The Low-Key Beauty Treatments That Make You Look Well Rested

There’s a specific kind of tiredness that shows up on your face before anywhere else. You slept fine. You feel okay. But the mirror is telling a different story — a little duller, a little more worn than you feel on the inside. That gap between how you feel and how you look is exactly the kind of thing a good med spa visit can close. I think this is something so many of us feel, especially as we…
