Celebrating my 23rd birthday in lockdown

A ‘lockdown birthday’ isn’t something that any of us could have imagined at the start of the year. 2020 has been a rollercoaster so far and it’s so strange to have not been into the office or seen my family since February.

I turned 23 in the first week of June – doesn’t time fly?! It feels like only two minutes ago it was my eighteenth. I was really worried about having my birthday in lockdown as I usually would be seeing my friends and family.

The Pip Box Review | April 2020 Botanical Edit

The Pip Box April 2020

The Pip Box is a cruelty-free and vegan beauty subscription box that can be delivered to your door monthly or as a one-off treat.

What I’m listening to in March

Welcome to the first edition of My Monthly Playlist! I will be sharing the music I have been listening to and enjoying each month. My music taste is very varied so I recognise that this won’t be for everyone, but I’ve always enjoyed going to concerts and listening to music and wanted to share it with you.

The music I’ve chosen to listen to this month is a mix of both motivating and relaxing. As I’m working from home, I need music which helps me to power through tasks, and also more chilled music for those times I need to wind down and send a few emails.
