The Pumpkin LifeIn November, I went Disney bounding for the first time in Walt Disney World Florida. Disney bounding is wearing clothes to replicate a character without being a costume. Adults are not allowed wear costumes in Disney (unless it is Halloween) so Disney bounding is a nice way to dress up without getting in any trouble […]
For 2018 I decided to embark on a 52 weeks of kindness challenge. It was a fantastic experience and it is certainly something I will continue in 2019. Here’s a brief summary of each week: Week 1 Donate unwanted Christmas presents. Donate to a refuge, homeless service, hospital, direct provision centre, animal sanctuary etc. […]
I should be very honest and start off this Wedding Wednesday by saying that I absolutely hate wedding shows. They are not for me. I personally find them to be very lacking in anything that is not traditional and I’m quite sure that I am not their target audience. We lasted 17 minutes at the […]
It has been a while since I have blogged and a lot has changed, to begin with, I have a whole new website and blog name. I’m thrilled to now be The Pumpkin Life and I feel it is much more fitting and appropriate. I can’t think of a better brand for my first blog […]
I hope you are all wrapped up on this very cold and snowy Wedding Wednesday. Last week I was very lucky to be invited to a showcase for the wedding collection from Penneys.

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.” Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird Empathy is about understanding. We may not have the exact experience of what another is facing and in some ways we […]
Happy New Year! I have been in a bit of a blogging slump over the last few months but I feel that I have a found a new project which I’m very passionate about and can’t wait to share with all of you. I’m so thrilled to say that today I’m launching 52 Weeks of […]
I absolutely adore Kat Von D and I have done since her Miami Ink days that eventually lead to the start of LA Ink. I loved the stories, the art and most of all Kat’s personality. For years I have wanted to try Kat Von D’s make-up line and I was so excited when Debenhams […]
As hard as it is for me to imagine there are those of us who don’t quite care for Halloween or perhaps don’t even like the idea of dressing up! Personally, I will take any opportunity I can to dress up and get into costume / character. If you’re not so keen on the idea […]
