If you’re planning to visit London, you may have seen online articles with lists of London tourist attractions. But if you wanted to visit them all, it would cost you a fortune! I have now lived in London for over 5 years and have had a chance to visit most of those popular places. So today, I’m going to review them and share my thoughts, to help you make an informed decision when choosing where to spend your hard-earned money.

9 Meat Free Recipes for January – Vegan And Vegetarian Delicious Meals
In a worldwide trend, a lot of people try to take part in Veganuary each year – switching to a vegan or vegetarian diet for a month. Whilst sticking to a meat-free diet long term isn’t for everyone, there are benefits of including plant-based meals in our menu. Those benefits include increasing fibre consumption (the vast majority of adults don’t hit their targets), and supplying our bodies with foods rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. January might be coming to an end, but it’s still a good time to try to diversify your diet and include more plant-rich options! Here are some of my favourite vegan and vegetarian recipes, in no particular order. They will satisfy even the biggest meat eaters too.

In 2024, I discovered a new hobby: cross stitching. I finished countless projects, mainly buying assorted kits with original designs and all necessary supplies.

It’s 2025 already. Can you believe that? Me neither! The time flies so fast. I hope you all have an amazing year. This year, I decided to make New Year’s resolutions. It’s not something I do every year, but a few months ago I discovered an old blog post in which I set my resolutions for 2018. I had a lot of fun reading through that list and verifying how much of those things I eventually accomplished. So, I figured it would be nice to compile a list of resolutions for 2025, and then come back to it a few years later to see how they went. I spent some time thinking about it and ended up with a list that combines resolutions from a few different areas. I rarely write such personal posts, but I here it is!

So if you’re curious what Christmas in London looked like in 2024, join me on this throwback photo journey!

With Christmas just around the corner, I’ve been enjoying festive crafts recently. One of the projects I worked on was a cross stitch image featuring a car carrying a decorated Christmas Tree. I’ve completed numerous cross stitch projects over the past year, but this time, it didn’t go to plan. In fact, I have to call it the worst assorted DIY kit I’ve ever seen! I managed to save the day in the end, but the process was far from a relaxing journey. Phew!
