Happy New Year, and welcome to 2023! I love the start of a new year; reflecting on the past 12 months and setting goals for the next. What’s typically been a time of self-reflection has, in the last few years, become much more public thanks to the proliferation of social media. Yes, I’m talking about…
The new year is swiftly approaching which means one thing: we’re facing the annual dilemma of setting New Year’s Resolutions. Up and down the country, people are frantically contemplating ways to create new habits, improve their lifestyle, and achieve their goals. Each year, many of us add similar items to our New Year’s Resolutions lists:…
With only 3 sleeps until the big day, we’re truly in the thick of the Christmas countdown and yet, I must admit, I’m struggling to feel Christmassy. I’ve done all the normal Christmassy things: the presents are wrapped and gathered under the tree, the songs have been blasting and the chocolates have been opened. After…
Welcome back, little reader! It’s Thursday which means I’m back with another blog post. But this Thursday is extra exciting because we are relaunching the blog in all its new and shiny glory. I have put a lot of time and energy (and let’s be real; blood, sweat and tears) into this revamp. It’s been…
Surprise – it’s me! I realised this week that it has been almost two years since my last blog post – whoopsy! I’m reviving the blog, and have some exciting ideas for upcoming posts, but for now I wanted to give a little life update as so much has changed in the last two years.…
Welcome back to the blog! Today I wanted to have an honest heart-to-heart about mental health during the global Coronavirus pandemic. It’s been 3 months since the UK went into lockdown and particularly with living in Wales where restrictions still aren’t easing, it feels never-ending. It’s been a tough time for everyone the world over…
We’re now a few weeks into 2019 which means I’ve had the chance to think about my goals for this year (yes, I know I should have set them before but I was really rather busy!). Every year I set goals to be more confident, more mindful of others and to work harder at keeping…
Well, hello! It’s been more than a little while since I’ve written on here and in the spirit of the New Year and reflecting on the last 12 months, I felt this was the perfect time! 2018 has been a rollercoaster – a cliché, I know – the last 4 months in particular have been…
Hello again! It’s been a while since my last post, so here’s a little update on what I’ve been up to in the last few weeks… It all began with Lent: I always try and give something up for Lent, but each year as it comes round, I struggle to decide on what to actually give up.…
Deadlines. Pressure. Exams. Stress. Repeat. It seems we’ve made it through another exam season, and as term restarts, you can already feel the tide of work approaching. Being stuck in this constant cycle of non-stop work, sleeplessness and worry really makes you think about the real lessons being taught to students today. I’d like to…
Hi! My name’s Holly – welcome to my blog, A Cornish Girl in a Big World. I’m a typical Cornish girl who loves writing about her life by the sea. When I’m not on the beach, I can usually be found snuggled with a cup of tea and a good book.
My posts range from Cornish recommendations, to book reviews, to general life musings.
