Do you ever find something that you love so much you just want to shout about it from the rooftops? Well, this is me shouting from an online rooftop – letting you know why you need to try Spillt! Do you like food? Great! You’re going to love this free recipe app! How many times have you found a recipe you love online, maybe screenshotted it, used it a few times, and then totally forgotten about it? I often think about recipes I used to make, particularly over lockdown when I was making a lot of new meals, where I now have no idea what website I found them on,…

My All-Time Favourite Christmas Films
I love Christmas – and I really love Christmas films! This list was originally meant to just be my five favourite Christmas films, but narrowing it down turned out to be a lot trickier than I thought! Even stopping at ten feels like I’ve missed so many good ones out! (Shrek the Halls (2007) always deserves more love, but just missed out this time). But I know you haven’t got all day to read this, and I really do need to be picky if I’m talking about my absolute favourites. So without further ado, here is my *current* list of all-time favourite Christmas films. 10 – How the Grinch Stole…

From the Archive: ‘Six Food Tips For Freshers’ (September 11th 2018)
Moving to university, or even just moving away from home for the first time, brings with it a lot of new challenges and things to learn. One of the biggest of these, perhaps, is learning how to cook for yourself. Cooking for one can be enough of a challenge on its own, and that’s before you even have to think about making sure you have a decent and somewhat healthy/ balanced diet (I hate to tell you, but the novelty of the beige food does start to wear off eventually)! When I first moved to uni I had very little clue about what I was doing in terms of cooking…

Finding My Way Out of a Reading Slump
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…

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…
