Something for the Weekend – July 2016
So that's July nearly done then! How is the summer going by so quickly? So far, it's been a bit of a mixed bag here. We had scorching temperatures last week (it hit over 30 degrees Celsius here in Manchester which never ever happens) but this week, the temperatures...
6 UK Interior Design Blogs You Should Probably Be Reading
Today, I thought I'd give a little shout out to some of my favourite bloggers that I share a home with. Not literally (that would get awkward as well as cramped) but who also live on this big ol' fair island I call home. As a American with decidedly bold, glam...
Something for the Weekend – June 2016
What a mixed bag June has been, eh? Not just in terms of the weather (can you tell how Anglicised I am when I talk about the weather so much?) - sunny and hot one week and then raining and a bit on the chilly side the next - but also in terms of the general atmosphere...
A Brief Summer Break…
As it's summer and I've gone 6 whole months without a break on the blog, I've decided to take a little 2 week hiatus to enjoy the weather and get outside a bit and off my laptop. One of those weeks we'll be enjoying another trip to Menorca. We went last year and fell...
Something for the Weekend – May 2016
We're halfway through the year!! Oh my goodness, how does that happen? Well, it's nearly summer and I have to say, despite starting the month with the weirdest weather (wind, snow, sleet? what!), we have had a rather good month weather-wise as it's warmed up nicely...
Something for the Weekend – April 2016
Apologies for the lack of post on Wednesday (honestly, does anyone even notice if I don't post 3 times a week? I'm kind of doubting it to be fair - ha!) - after coming back from Wales, I had quite a bit to catch up on this week and I just couldn't seem to get my brain...
Something for the Weekend: March 2016
It's Friday! My goodness, what a crazy month it's been. Both Wayne and I have been sick twice in the last month and with that, it seems that everything just goes down the pan - we don't eat very well, we have no energy, the house goes to hell in a handbasket and my...
Something for the Weekend: February 2016
Happy Fridays my lovelies! Goodness it's been a totally crazy month!! I wish it was because I was travelling to far-flung locations and sipping champagne elegantly whilst on a luxury cruiser in the Mediterranean but alas, my life is just not that exciting. So it was...
In Wayne’s Words: What It’s Like Living with a Blogger
Oh I have a bit of a treat for you today! I know you are used to me rambling on about whatever is inside my head at the moment around these parts but for today, you're actually finally going to hear from my other half, Wayne. I know, I know, WHAT IS THIS MADNESS....
Something for the Weekend: January 2016
Not sure how we're already at the end of January here - wasn't it only just Christmas?! And yet the new year is flying along and we're nearly into February. At least the days are starting to get that little bit longer and I'm not having to switch on all the lights in...
My Goals for 2016
First off, I just wanted to say thank you for all the really positive and supportive comments I received on my Year in Review. You guys are just so awesome and I sincerely mean that because I full well know without you guys coming to visit me, NONE OF THAT WOULD HAVE...
The 2015 Swoon Worthy Year in Review
I have only just woken from my chocolate-alcohol-and-turkey-induced coma. It was a good place to hang out for a couple weeks, I must admit. Christmas and the New Year have gone by in a flash it seems and here we are with a nice clean slate in front of us by way of a...
Christmas Wrapping and A Final Word for 2015
So first off, I just thought I'd share how I wrapped up my DIY Essential Oil Fragrance Gift Sets today. You may recall that earlier this month, I shared room fragrance spray, home made soap and soy wax candles - all with printable labels to create a matching set. I...
Something for the Weekend – Nov/Dec 2015
Apologies for the lack of post on Wednesday - after taking a few much-needed days off due to a winter flu, I fell a bit behind between client work and Christmas preparations and I'm still trying to get caught up! I suppose that's what happens when your body forces you...
Something for the Weekend – Oct to Nov 2015
I normally like to do these posts at the very start of the month but with lots happening at Swoon Worthy HQ, it didn't quite happen like that! So I'm going to chat about the last 6 weeks (!) although I'd prefer this to not get too long and unwieldy. I know I have a...
