This year, I was really lucky and managed to snag an invitation to the Liverpool LUSH Christmas Bloggers Event. I can’t even tell you how excited I was! I was a little nervous, as I’ve never attended one of their events before, but if you’ve ever been to any LUSH shop you know that the staff are the absolute best at making you feel welcome and at home, so there was absolutely zero awkwardness involved.

This year, I finally went through with something I’ve always wanted to do: I hosted a cookie party! I kept seeing these all over the internet for years, and while they seemed like bundles of fun, I never really had the time or the friends to host one myself. This year, I had both of those, so I took the plunge and hosted my first real party on my own!
I used to frequently share recipes from other sources that I loved here on the blog, but somehow stopped this in the last months.

Now that I have a child of my own, I’ve decided to revive it and will hopefully be baking a batch each weekend up until Christmas! [ Read More… ] …
So for the first time ever, I’ve decided to put together a little gift guide on the blog. I’ve never done this before, so I’m still experimenting with the format, but I knew I wanted it to be geared towards people’s interests rather than their gender. There’s nothing I find more boring than reading gift guide after gift guide focussing on gifts for boyfriends/husbands, knowing full well that Jake wouldn’t care for any of the items on the list, but also knowing ten women who would love at least one of the items. So, out with stereotyping by gender, in with stereotyping by interest! Er, or something along those lines. [ Read More… ] …
