My Hair Recovery: From Broken, Dry and Frizzy to Super Healthy, Long and Strong
I know I don't talk about beauty all that often here on Swoon Worthy but seeing as the world is currently turned upside down, I figured a bit of a tangent might not be such a terrible idea today. So I wanted to talk about hair care as I've managed to bring my hair...

How to (Really!) Stick to Your New Year’s Resolutions
I'm not someone who makes a long list of resolutions each year but I'm definitely feeling the 'new year/new decade' momentum at the moment - are you? There are so many ideas floating around in my head (and in the notebooks and post-it notes on my desk) and I'd love to...

Candle Care: How to Get the Most From Your Candles
I'm sure it'll be no surprise when I tell you how much I love a good candle. Over the summer months, I don't burn them very often, simply because it's bright for so much of the day but when the Autumn and Winter months come, then it's basically no-holds-barred and...
A Romantic Break at The Swan Hotel in The Lake District

How I Changed My Money Mindset to Earn More & Work Less
Money. It's one of those subjects that seems to be a bit taboo. It makes people uncomfortable. Not enough and you feel somehow that you are less than, that you aren't doing as well as you should be, that you're not succeeding. More than enough and you feel you should...

How to Reduce the Stress Around Christmas Time

#SwoonforPetite: Stepping Out of my Comfort Zone and Into Kaleidoscope’s AW Petite Range
This is going to be a long introduction so please do bear with me! Back last year, I wrote a post about the lack of diversity I saw in fashion blogging. It was a time when I had considered branching more into fashion here on my blog (the reasons I didn't venture far...
