A Week in the French Riviera – Part Two
Monaco The following day we caught a packed train to Monaco, about 25 minutes east of Nice. In summer, the trains can be sweltering and crowded, so I’d recommend bringing a mini fan if you visit in peak season—temperatures regularly hit 30–35°C, and the crowds make it feel hotter. As it’s a different country, it…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
I decided to make a post sharing my all time favourite chocolate chip cookie recipe – they’re chewy, chocolatey and delicious. I was basically brought up on chocolate chip cookies. My mum baked them all the time when I was growing up, and she would always save me some of the mixture for me to…

A Weekend in Brighton
I still remember the first time I heard of Brighton. It was the early 2010s, and I was deep in the world of YouTube — watching Zoella’s vlogs filled with soft fairy lights, candles, and cozy chats in a pastel-toned flat by the sea.
