#BRUMBLOGMAS Day 12: Christmas Sparkle

Is there anyone or anything more sparkly than Mariah Carey? No. A divisive opinion, but I am wholeheartedly a Mimi fan, a lamb, and part of the lambily. I am used to the eye rolls; don't worry, I literally don't care. She's the best. Music Box was my first ever CD; I got it when [...]

#BRUMBLOGMAS Day 11: Friendship

I've got some pretty amazing friends. As it's Brum Blogmas; I thought I'd pop some pictures of our annual German Market get-together that happened on Friday (8/12) to keep it brummie and festive. Obviously, I wish all of my friends were there so that I could include everyone in this post, but this was the [...]

#BRUMBLOGMAS Day 10: A Brummie Christmas

As day ten's prompt fell on Sunday 10th December; I'm going to leave you here with some images of my favourite weather, that arrived in full force to settle in Brum. It was so lovely to see people making snow people together, strangers throwing snowballs for my dog to fetch, and just how pretty Birmingham [...]

#BRUMBLOGMAS Day 09: Winter Warmers

When I think of winter warmers; I think of hot food and drinks, but you probably suspected that anyway. Therefore, I thought I'd include a few of my favourite hot beverages that you can enjoy around Brum at this time of year. I've picked these in particular, because of the taste, and the festive settings. [...]

#BRUMBLOGMAS Day 07: Bloggers On Your Nice List

Since I started this blog; I've had the pleasure of meeting some absolute poppets, lovelies, sweet peas, good eggs, and (if you haven't vommed yet) those who should live on nice lists everywhere. As someone who suffers severe social anxiety at times; I was a little worried about getting into blogging and travelling out to [...]

#BRUMBLOGMAS Day 06: Festive Fun

Super silly...but it is festive and fun. The demise of my gingerbread person... In future; I'll bite the head off first so that it's less traumatic and they won't be smiling at me as I devour them. The gingerbread also won't be able to stare at me with those cold, iced eyes. Icing on gingerbread [...]

#BRUMBLOGMAS Day 05: Decorations

Much like my favourite festive films; I can't pick just one or two decorations. All of my Christmas decorations are special to me; they all hold memories, and I know exactly where each one is from. I love an eclectic mix of styles; at the moment, I'm favouring vintage style glass ornaments. However, if something [...]

#BRUMBLOGMAS Day 04: Favourite festive film

December 4, 2017by heyyitsfay3 Comments on #BRUMBLOGMAS Day 04: Favourite festive film

I just couldn't pick a favourite film for this prompt; there are so many. My tastes firmly sit in the 80s and early 90s when it comes to preference of festive films. However, I even love those horrendous Channel 5, made-for-TV movies. They're always set in a town that is obsessed with Christmas, there's an [...]

I love winter fashion; if you have to layer-up, you can wear so many items of clothing at once! As it's day three of Brum Blogmas; I thought I'd share three of my favourite items from my wardrobe at the moment. Wearing them makes me feel very happy, as clothing should... I do love my [...]

Hey

profile picture with Rex

I’m Fay; a writer + illustrator from Birmingham, who currently resides in Bristol. I’m also a mom (that’s how we say it in Brum) of a 28-weeker, called Rex. We spent 10 weeks in NICU, and I’ve plenty to share about being a preemie mama. I write other people’s content for a living, so I felt like giving myself an outlet where I could discuss my own shiz.

I’m a pescatarian, cruelty-free skincare addict, with Type 1 diabetes and Graves’ disease. These do not limit what I can enjoy; they only affect the thought process beforehand.

Stick around if you fancy reading about my experience with motherhood, food + coffee, mental + physical health challenges, and what’s happening in my life. I also film YouTube videos and take plenty of pictures. I’ll try not to waffle on at you (I realise I have failed already. Mmm waffles).

I love a bunny emoji, peace x
