How I finally cured my acne
If you used to read my blog back in the day, or if you’ve followed me on twitter for a few years, you’ll know that acne is something that I battled with for most of my twenties.
Last year, I finally managed to get it under control, and as I’ve had a few people messaging me on Twitter asking me for updates on my progress, I thought I’d make a blog post out of it to share my journey and what has or hasn’t helped me over the years.

How I Made £850 in a year by Switching Bank Accounts
Switching bank accounts is a really good way to get free money out of the banks, for very little effort at all. I’ve done it myself several times, and it really couldn’t be easier. Find out how I made almost £900 in a year!

48 Hours In Cologne
After spending most of 2017 complaining about how badly I needed a holiday, when my friend messaged me to say she'd found £10 flights to Cologne and should we go, I jumped at the opportunity. I went on a massive road trip round Germany and Europe when I was younger, but I'd never actually been to Cologne so I was excited to explore somewhere new. We decided to go for two nights to minimise time away from work and keep the cost of the trip down, and here's what we got up to!

What it’s like to live with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME
Today is International CFS/ME Awareness Day, and as someone who has been living with the condition for a long long time, I figured it is time I spoke about it on here.
For the most part in this post I'm going to talk about my own experiences with the condition. If you're not up for a long read, feel free to skip reading this. If you think you'll find this post helpful, grab a brew, because you're about to hear my life story.

Baked Avocado With Egg and Bacon
Avocados are, I am sure we can all agree, one of the greatest things to eat ever. I bloody love guac, then there's the classic avocado on toast (preferably with a poached egg).
Recently I decided to try baking one with an egg in, cos I'd seen it all over Instagram. I'd also seen a video on Facebook, where someone baked an avocado wrapped in bacon, and it looked insane, but I wasn't quite up to the challenge as I didn't have enough bacon left. Instead, I decided to just sprinkle with bacon pieces and add some chives.
This turned out to be a really yummy lunch, and super easy to do. Baking the avocado slightly changes it's taste. When I thought about it, I had never really had hot avocado before. It takes on an almost smokey taste, but it's still very very nice.
