Happy New Year, Treasures! Another day, another year, another empty Happy Jar and another set of resolutions. (Image via) I never really write New Year’s resolutions. I usually have some basic plans but don’t tie myself down. For years now, I’ve never really had any specific goals that have held my own attention long enough to stick to them. And...

I recently spent a month travelling around India. A month driving 3000 miles on roads that could hardly count as a dirt track, let alone something that was driveable in a vintage car older than my 26 years. But although the roads were life threatening and terrifying, that wasn’t our main concern. Being three white women travelling through the arse-end... Read the rest of this post...

I got a text recently from a very good friend of mine ranting about the men in her office, the lasting statement being: ‘I bet mountains aren’t sexist!’ ‘No’, I thought. ‘No, they most certainly are not’, as I packed up my backpack for the day, opened my map and made sure I knew the route I was taking my...

(Warning: This Post Contains Banana Bread) There were highs, there were lows, there was car sickness there was health, there was sheep poo and dog carriers, and my gilet will NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN… Snowdon was the first mountain of many (I hope) to climb. But, to be honest, as it was the first one, it was a bit... Read the rest of this post...

I recently made a major decision that will change my life. Since then, other parts of my life have really improved. Everything around me has taken on the glisten of wonderment that I hadn’t seen there previously. So, its probably about time I told the world. Or, at least, those in it who don’t already know… I’m moving to China.... Read the rest of this post...

I am not an adventurous person in the slightest. I like my home comforts, my own things and my own bed. But, a couple of months ago, myself and my friend Sarah spontaneously booked a few days away in Dublin. Okay, it wasn’t completely spontaneous. We had talked about it for a while. But it seemed like one of those... Read the rest of this post...

Jenny Jones. Olympic medallist, XGames gold-medaller and all-round badass. She started at the bottom and has worked the ski-season slog in chalets, in a cardboard factory and as a doughnut seller to pay her way through training her bad-self to be as awesome as she is. There are a few things we can all learn from Jenny that don’t include... Read the rest of this post...

As I sit here writing this, tucked up in bed with the rugby on the telly (COME ON ENGLAND), a bit of a hangover and an unexplained broken toe (pay day, plus booze…) I feel like the safest and least spontaneous person on the planet. But last night I practised what I preach and said yes to an opportunity that... Read the rest of this post...

We all live in our own comfort zones – you know, that little bubble of safety where the walls are soft and the landings are made of feathers. Routine is easy and the only thing that makes you nervous is having to see the in-laws, bumping into your ex boyfriend or being dragged into your boss’s office. But stepping out...

So, it’s the Sunday before New Year’s Eve, we’re all probably hungover and lounging around in our PJs and wondering why on earth we ever thought drinking was a good idea – when, in two days time, we’ll be doing it all over again. I know, I know, I drank too much rum last night too and I am definitely... Read the rest of this post...
