I have always loved reading. So much so, that I chose to study English Literature for my degree. I really loved my degree, and loved that each week the seminars felt like a little book club, with the opportunity for us all to discuss and share our thoughts on the books we had been reading that week. It pushed me to read books I otherwise wouldn’t have, and gave me new things to think about whenever I read a new text. The cherry on top was the fact that my university campus was in Cornwall, so we had easy access to the beach, and the opportunity to take our reading…

From the Archive: ‘Roaccutane Month Three’ (June 30th 2018)
I originally documented my experience of being on Roaccutane with monthly updates and weekly progress photos on my previous lifestyle blog Thginkcm. However, as this blog is now deleted, I unfortunately have lost the majority of these posts, along with their photos. I have been able to salvage two posts from this series, the below Roaccutane Month Three update, as well as my post on my overall Roaccutane experience, which will be re-uploaded soon. I appreciate these posts won’t mean as much without the context of being able to track the progress of my skin, or the original photos, however I still wanted to preserve the two posts I could…

From the Archive: ‘Review: Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue’ (June 16th 2018)
As I near the end of my first tube of Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue I thought it would be a good time to share my love for this product! I originally purchased this in preparation for starting Roaccutane, anticipating that my skin would become too dry to continue using my other current favourite foundation, the L’Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation. Due to the Complexion Rescue being a little bit more pricey at £28, I decided to go to my nearest Bare Minerals counter at Debenhams and get colour matched beforehand. I definitely didn’t want to run the risk of spending that much and having an orange face – a mistake that I…

Small Changes, Big Impact – Where my Sustainability Journey Started
Positive changes don’t always have to feel like a grand gesture, or a big sacrifice. Sometimes it’s the smallest good actions, repeated consistently, that end up having the biggest impact. As I mentioned in my previous post, over lockdown in 2020 I launched my own small business Mission Better, selling a range of plastic free and planet friendly products. I wanted to share where my own interest in sustainability, and the small changes we can all make on a day to day basis, came from, and how I believe small swaps are the best place to start! That has been one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since I made…

Hello, I’m Back!
I wanted to start this first post off with a big hello! You may have followed my previous blog Thginkcm, which I started while I was at university, and continued for a few years, until 2021, where life got in the way and I decided it was time to retire my little blog. This is a decision I have really started to regret, and while Thginkcm was unfortunately deleted, there’s no better time than the present to start from scratch – so welcome to my new endeavour, Emma’s Notes to the Moon! You might be wondering where the name came from? (You also might not, and that’s perfectly fine too…
