Our First (and probably last😂) Couple Q&A

Ok, so I’m dying to tell the ridiculous story of what happened leading up to Chris proposing! *** Spoilers: it ends with me nearly ending everything lolol 🙃 ***

Figured this would be a good time to do a “couple” Q+A together with him and answer any things people want to kn...

Bye Bye 2022! A Look Back at the Year 💫

It's New Years Eve here in England, so I wanted to take a look back at the past year. It was certainly a mix of highs and lows. Unfortunately I felt pretty crappy for most of it because of my stupid thyroid, and wasn't able to accomplish very much of what I had planned to do this year, but that d...

Morning from Japan! 🤗 

Sorry for not posting much this past month, I've been having a rough time health-wise and having trouble keeping up with my videos and posts😭 Just went for some extensive blood work at my thyroid clinic a few days ago, so I'm hoping they find out what the i...

3 Days in Kanazawa + Shirakawago ⛩ A Photo Diary

Chris and I just got back from an amazing vacation in Kanazawa and I thought I would share our 3-day itinerary with you in case you want to visit yourself in the future! 

I'm not quite sure how well known Kanazawa is overseas, but to summarise it very quickly, it feels a lot like Kyoto...

Meet Tuna 💕

There's a new man in the house! 👀

After watching Maro be really cute playing with Ushka's cats during his stay at her place, I decided it's probably a good idea to find Maro a friend. They're getting along really well and they're so cute together😭 Tuna follows Maro around 24/7, always...

Hello from England! 🤗❤️

Sorry for the delay in posting/setting up the livestream for this month. I made a mistake in not bringing a plug converter with me for my electronics, my laptop died and it has not been easy to find one here🥲 But I finally got one so we’re back in business!!

The weather has been so ni...
