The Best Staycation and Safari In The UK: Port Lympne

If you haven’t seen my Instagram recently, Joe and I have just come back from the most beautiful and wonderful 48 hours at Port Lympne Park, located in Kent.  Weirdly, I’ve never been to this part of the UK before. I’ve travelled to Margate a fair bit as my nan and grandad moved there in their later years. However, I’ve never done…

Life Lately & Belated Celebrations For 9 Years of Zoey Olivia

I’ve been so erratic with my blogging schedule this year. I was supposed to do a celebratory post for my blog’s 9th birthday on the 9th September, but I’ve had zero time sadly.

Do we have a purpose to do greater things? Or do we want a simplifier and happier life without what society expects from us?…

Mental Health Awareness Week: My Wellness Daily Routine

I’ve just hit pause on Selling Sunset Season 6, episode 8, in attempt to do something fairly productive with my day. Which of course, is to type some thoughts. Honestly though, there are so many great things being released on Netflix, Prime and Disney+. I need to dedicate a week or two of my life to binge-watching. But as some…

April & May Joys

What a crazy two months it’s been! So many highs, some lows… but we power on! Before I discuss my April & May Joys, I wanted to flag that It’s Mental Health Awareness week and the topic this year is anxiety. As some may know, anxiety has affected me for many many years. I think I’ve touched on anxiety maybe…
