Welcome to my blog! A mix of uni essays, charity shopping adventures, and my side-hustle on Vinted—plus snippets of daily life, from rollerskating and binge-watching TV to building outrageous Sims houses. It’s a joyful, slightly chaotic look at life in my mid-20s as I balance real-world hurdles with hobbies that make me happy. Come along for the ride as I figure out blogging (and everything else) one post at a time!

- Hi, I’m Griff—living in Cardiff, South Wales, and currently studying a Master’s in Journalism, Media and Communications. This blog is a space to explore the things I love: second-hand fashion, interior design, art, and the joy of making handmade cards and gifts for friends and family over the years. I’ll also be sharing essays on a range of topics—from the culture of charity shopping to media analyses of Doctor Who or Clarkson’s Farm. After spending a year working on a farm, I experienced the ups, downs, and muddy joys of rural life—along with the calm that comes from being around animals and nature. While living in Swansea, I also reconnected with my childhood love for rollerskating, which became a mindful escape and a fun way to switch off. This blog brings all those threads together—creative, thoughtful, and always a bit chaotic.
