Moving to Self Hosted WordPress

Jun 22

Notice anything different around here? I’ve just moved from WordPress.com to WordPress.org and I LOVE the look of my new blog. I probably spent too much time on my laptop during this process and I definitely didn’t give my boyfriend much attention, but YAY. Moving to Self Hosted WordPress was something I have wanted to do ever since I learnt what self-hosted WordPress was and I finally got around to it.

A few people have been asking me questions about moving to self hosted WordPress so I thought writing a post about it would be a good idea! The process sounds so much more complicated than what it is but I promise you that it’s not. Saying that, you will stress a little and have a shout at your laptop but that’s normal! There’s nothing in the process that is difficult to get around once you have highlighted the problem.

Meet Leanne: Q&A

Mar 18

It’s a bit of a chatty post today! The lovely Martha tagged me in her post to do this and it’s been a while since I’ve done a post that isn’t beauty related. I’ve had a short blogging break recently but I feel a lot happier and caught up with life again now so keep a look out for more regular posts again soon!

Ninety Six Degrees Leicester

Feb 5

First post of the month! I hope February is being kind to you so far. Recently I went to a lovely coffee shop in Leicester called Ninety Six Degrees and it was SO good! I had my camera with me at the time, so I thought I would take a few photos to show just how lovely everything was. I ordered a Caramel Frappé for £2.90 (it was an extra 30p for coffee!) and it was so delicious.

Holly’s Coffee Shop in Leicester Review

Jan 18

So today was Blue Monday – what better way to keep the spirits high than to go for a coffee with your friends, right? For my social media module at university we have to participate in a social activity and Tweet about it; post photos on Instagram; set up a Facebook page; a Pinterest board etc. to encourage others to do the activity as well. We happily chose the topic ‘Afternoon Tea’ – drinking tea and eating cake for work? Yes please.

We decided to go to Holly’s Coffee Shop and Sandwich Bar in Leicester, mainly because it’s a short walk from campus but also because I’ve walked past it so many times and I’m ALWAYS glancing inside. It’s located on The Lanes and is also a short walk from the city centre.

2015 Reflections and 2016 Aspirations

Jan 3

2015 was a successful year for me I would say overall. I finished my A-levels, which were the most awful two years but I got through it! I left college with a B in Media and a D in psychology, and also an A in AS Film. I started university in Leicester in September to study Media Production which was a HUGE thing for me to do. Moving away from home has helped me mature and I’ve made so many wonderful friends already, I’m excited to go back to Leicester to see them all again for second term. I’m thoroughly embracing my course, it’s a lot of work and it never stops, but I’m finally studying what I have always wanted to and I enjoy it! Read More

Secret Garden Colouring Book

Dec 29

Colouring books are no longer only for children! With wonderful authors such as Johanna Basford and books such as the Secret Garden Colouring Book: we can now enjoy colouring again without digging out the 500 page character books from our childhood.

I received the Secret Garden ‘An Inky Treasure Hunt and Colouring Book’ by Johanna Basford for Christmas and I absolutely adore it! (Thank you Alex!) The front cover of the book is illustrated beautifully and even more-so inside. It features delicately outlined images to colour in, with many plants and animals. The book also includes a small scavenger hunt for creatures inside of the images which I think is a lovely touch. Read More
