DIPTYQUE ROSA MUNDI CANDLE

The Rosa Mundi candle from Diptyque is my all time favourite from their candle range, the scent is beautifully fresh and floral. The candle is often released in a special edition design for Valentine's day and I reviewed it previously here.

THE TRAVEL EDIT: GOTHENBURG CITY GUIDE

Sweden has always been on my travel list. I still wish I'd caught the overnight ferry to Stockholm from the end of my best friend's street while I was staying in Riga, that one is still very much on the list. In November,  I got to tick off a visit to Sweden after a weekend away in Gothenburg. It was the perfect trip; sunny winter days with clear blue skies, the food was wonderful and it was just lovely to escape London for a few days, be able to walk around everywhere and take in new surroundings.

THE FITNESS EDIT: JANUARY

If you've caught up with my goals for 2017, you'll know like many people come January, I've set myself some health and fitness goals to achieve this year. The irony is though I don't feel very much like a warrior right now as I'm sat here with an awful cold as I write this. Suffice to say the first week of January 2017, has not been a very active one, unless you count lying on the sofa catching up with Elementary re-runs while dosed up on Sudafed as being active. 

MY NEW YEAR RAMBLINGS AND GOALS FOR 2017

Hello 2017 and happy New Year to you all! I do love New Year, that feeling of a fresh start, a clean slate to work on your dreams and ambitions with, the possibilities feel endless! For me also there's always a nervousness about the year ahead and venturing into the unknown which keeps me on my toes. 2016 was not an easy year, there were a number of health problems but January really stood out as the most difficult month.
