I thought it would be fun to start doing a monthly recap of what's happening on jessthetics. It's a great way to celebrate what I've done, and get excited for the start of a new month!
At the beginning of the month I went to Cyprus with my family, and I also posted photos from a family trip to Northern Ireland.

At the end of July, I went to the Greek part of Cyprus with my family and my boyfriend for our annual family walking-around-ruins holiday. It was SUPER hot, but I survived temple searching in 40 degree heat, go me! Cyprus felt really different to the Greek Islands I've been to before, perhaps because it's so far east of Greece.

I spent yesterday writing a new page, "Environment and Ethics" for the blog. Go and check it out! I just wanted to explain to you what it's about and why I've introduced it. I use this blog to share my creative projects - I talk about food, clothes and DIY - but there's another aspect of my life that's been absent thus far. I spend a lot of time thinking about and trying to act towards reducing my
