Before I was a blogger I was an avid blog reader and religiously followed the recommendations of my favourite online humans. And I’d say 90% of the recommendations that I got then quickly became my most loved products but there were obviously some things that just didn’t work out for me but that’s to be expected (as much as it pained me), different strokes for different folks and all that. The word influencer has become a dirty word over the past few years and people now tend to hate when ‘influencers’ share something they love as it’s now presumed that there is a hidden agenda and spreading the word about something you love isn’t as easy as it once was. But, I know that without people sharing their most used and loved possessions then there are so many things that I might not have come across and these are some of the best things that I’ve been influenced to purchase over the years.

Sherwood Forest is a place that I’ve visited and walked in hundreds of times throughout my life as it’s a destination that I could walk to from my dad’s house and now it’s somewhere that we regularly frequent with Josie & Edie. There is one part of the forest that I never thought I’d be in and that is the Go Ape site, I’d always gazed up at people completing the course and it always looked like they were having an awesome time but it had always been a ‘no, not for me’ kinda thing.

Happy Friday and happy summer too, we’re officially now in the warm season so all we can hope is that the weather gets the memo and does what it’s meant to do rather than another few weeks of rain. Seriously, I’m not sure my brain can handle any more rain. The only thing the bad weather has been good for though is my research when it comes to these posts as there hasn’t been much else to do but go through my Bloglovin feed and Netflix. And here is everything that I’ve been reading, watching and listening to lately for you to hopefully enjoy too.
