19 things I freakin’ love about being a woman

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY TO LITERALLY EVERYONE. Scrolling through social media today has got me feeling some insane levels of sisterly love. I am one of those people who lives for a good quote and there have been a fair few empowering ones flying around, all on the subject of female power. International Women’s Day

February favourites

Well February felt like it lasted about two days compared to January. I am now officially 3/5 of my way through my time in Paris and consequently freaking out. No worries though as I have multiple exciting things planned in the foreseeable future. February was one of those up and down months, both metaphorically and

An ode to the Eiffel Tower

Visiting the Eiffel Tower is undoubtedly the most touristy thing you can do in Paris, potentially even in the whole of France. Considering the fact that I have lived in the City of Light for almost six months now you would think I’d be a bit over it by now. I am not. I have

January Favourites

Think of this as my highlights reel and favourite things from all 3647974 days of January. Seriously though, it has been January for AGES. I’m hoping to make this a monthly thing, I feel like looking back over each month will help me to realise how much I was capable of doing within it. My

Hey time, can you just like slow down a bit please

Today marks an entire year since I was offered my internship in Paris and of course, in true Lauren style, it’s got me feeling all mushy and emotional.

A mini Prague travel guide

Oh hello there 2018

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS as if it is actually 2018 hahahahahahhahahhaha terrifying. A lot of people comment on how pointless the whole idea of new years resolutions are, which I kinda get as there is no real reason why you can’t make an overnight change on any of the other 364 days of the year.

2017 as a list

Anyone who knows me will have read this title and said ‘this is the most Lauren thing she possibly could have written’, and they are absolutely right. I am a complete and utter list enthusiast and I am not one bit ashamed of it, because for me it works. I stress a lot, and I

Noël à Paris

Right now I am experiencing a whole lot of festive cheer but also a whole lot of extreme terror because the arrival of Christmas means that I have now been living in France for four months. FOUR WHOLE MONTHS. Literally everyone told me that my time here would go incredibly fast and I definitely did

The month that was but wasn’t

On some days the words come and on some days they don’t. I have been writing bits of this post here and there for a few days now, which isn’t something I normally do, but writing about my life recently hasn’t been the same as it usually is. I toyed a lot with even posting
