Lifestyle: My Year in Review: A Recap of 2024

Wrapping Up 2024

2024 was not an easy year. Loved ones were lost and I struggled with a multitude of health problems (which are still causing issues). It wasn't all bad though. In fact, 2024 had a lot of high points too.

As we kick off this fresh new year now is the perfect time to take a look back over the past 12 months.

2024 was an amazing year for my blog and I'm honoured to have had the chance to work with some fantastic sponsors over the course of the year.
