Welcome to Lifestyle Notes! Thanks for visiting. I set up this blog as a creative outlet while on maternity leave to balance life with my two boys, Charlie and Jack, with my interests in flowers, interiors and wellbeing primarily with a bit of fashion and beauty thrown in for good measure. I started my career as a fashion journalist writing for ASOS Magazine and freelancing for Stylist and House of Hackney before taking the plunge into floristry so I like to dabble in a bit of everything.
My flower journey started Scarlet & Violet in London, in my opinion the best flower shop ever, and where I was really able to hone my floristry skills while learning from the master herself, Vic Brotherson. Since becoming a mum I have worked at a florist locally in Leigh-on-sea, Essex, which is a very different pace to London but a shop that still had that natural, wild flower thrown together aesthetic that I love.
We moved from our one bedroom flat in Highbury when I was expecting Charlie and have lived in our family home for nearly four years and I’ve been making improvements ever since! This is where my love for interiors comes in – and my mild (!) obsession with Pinterest. My next project is the garden, to see if my vision for a wild flower oasis can become a reality.
So while I’ve created this online space as a sort of journal for myself to keep up with everything I’m passionate about, I hope it inspires you in some way too!
