I feel like I start every blog with "it's been a while, huh?" but this time it actually has. It's well over a year since I wrote anything personal, and that's for several reasons. One of those being that I pretty much write for a living now, which, on one hand, is great but it … Continue reading Malachite Candles
It seems that 29th March is always "Hannah moves house day". First when I was 8, back in 2000, when my family moved into the current family home, secondly when I moved to Suffolk, and finally when I moved from Suffolk. That day was a year ago today. I won't lie to you, I don't … Continue reading A year on.
Ahh New Years Eve. It's funny looking back on my Facebook memories shows I have always hated this day. I'm a big ruminator, and naturally a pessimist, so this time of year always has me sitting and reflecting on everything that went wrong, rather than all the joy that was brought into my life. That's … Continue reading 18 Things for 2018
Once upon a time, there was this fresh face pinup model called Roxie Roulette. She modeled for events, reproduction brands and make up artists, but eventually she jacked it all in, and vowed to never to it again. She grew up to be me. Occasionally though along comes a company that manages to twist my … Continue reading Sparkling with Splendette
(Ahh finally! A blog about doing something in Bristol!) I first was taken to Flour & Ash by my lovely friend, Eeva, back in August. It was the bank holiday weekend, we were off to a (rather damp) street party, and we needed to line our bellies before the deliciousness that is cider over took … Continue reading ‘Flour & Ash’ (aka the best pizza in Bristol)
Sigh. It's been a while hasn't it? Definitely longer than I wanted to leave it. So let me explain. I moved to Bristol. You can read about it in my last post. And then, well, the technology gods struck me down. First, our internet went. Basically the house mate I replaced failed to tell the remaining … Continue reading One technological flop after another.
What a hectic old month September was. It all started with a job offer, and an incredible chance to move to one of my favourite cities: Bristol. So off I trotted to look at potential rooms in house shares, and I found a lovely one in with some tremendous girls but, unfortunately, agencies and the … Continue reading The Big Adventure.
Wow. August absolutely flew by! It saw the birth of this blog, a few day trips, a sister emigrating to Australia and a very big change on the horizon for me. I'll try and keep my words brief, but I am finally excited about the last third of this year. It's no lie if you … Continue reading The Month That Was: August 2018
I've been styling myself with a flair of mid-century vintage for the past decade or so, but I'd be lying to say I sleep in curlers every night to create gorgeous, wavy hair on the daily. Instead, I much rather fashion some form of front roll and ponytail-bun hybrid, which still gets the air of … Continue reading Simple Vintage Inspired Hair Style
Yawn! It turns out that five hours sleep is not enough for this 26 year old to function anymore. After a late shift at the craft beer bar I work at, it was a few hours shut eye before my alarm rudely awoke me at 7am, but it was worth it for my first visit … Continue reading Retro Festival – August 2018
