The Money Saving Diaries #1 (The Life and Times of a Millennial Attempting to Save Money)

A millennial attempting to buy a house? Impossible. Laughable. Never going to happen. But hey, it’s a goal.

Just over a year ago, I wrote a post on here about how I was trying to apply minimalism to my finances. It genuinely worked and by embracing the reality of an attempt to ‘have less stuff’, it genuinely paid off and I managed to get everything in check again. In short, a couple of years ago, I was in a position where I was spending more than I earned in order to present a type of lifestyle that was inspired by the endless hauls of youtubers.

5 Essential Pieces of Tech for Bloggers

Blogging is unsurprisingly very tech-based. With the whole premise of a blog relating directly to the internet, there is a definite reliance on all things tech! From a laptop to something to take photos with, I thought I'd break down my five essential pieces of tech - and try and dispell the idea that being a blogger requires all of the fancy equipment when in reality, it's all about having a few items that are multi-purpose.

Ya girl has been blogging for over 4 years now, and it seems like I've seen networks come and go.

The Complete Alternative Guide to Manchester 2018

Not only does it have everything you could possibly want from entertainment to great food to culture, but the people are fantastic - and that's something that really sets it apart. Having been born here, I'm more than qualified to share my take on some of the more unique things to do in the city - things that aren't typically easy to find on trip-advisor, and things that are all easy to get to, especially if you're staying in the city centre.

Current Gym Bag Essentials

As I get older, I seem to get lazier, and gone are the days where I'd factor in an extra 30 minutes after my gym routine just to make sure my makeup was pristine. With deadlines on the horizon, my focus is cleanliness and keeping my skin in check - less focus on the aesthetic. So I decided to share some of my gym bag essentials - that range from during workout to post workout. Hopefully this helps you make your gym bag far more streamlined.

Shoryu Manchester - A Food Review

I'm a huge fan of Japanese food. From sushi to teriyaki, I love pretty much every dish I've tried. And with a trip to Japan booked for August, the prospect of discovering and trying more Japanese dishes was an opportunity that I leapt at. It was a truly delicious experience, and my friend and I left very content.
