"Putting Rutland back on the map." - The Rutland Blogger

I grew up in Harringworth, a tiny village just over the Rutland border in Northamptonshire. However, going to school in Rutland until the late teens I've always wanted to live in the heart of the county and be the big Rutland fan that I am. So, in December 2015 my partner Tom and I bought our first house in Uppingham, Rutland and I've since fallen further in love with the tiny county we live in.

In February 2017, with my current two blogs in hand, I felt that I wanted my roots to be more involved with my passion for blogging and to celebrate the rural area and local businesses and to bring my love for Blogging home.'The Rutland Blogger' was born!I want this blog to be a place where locals can turn to for restaurant reviews, introducing the readers to local independent businesses and shops they might not yet have heard of, or where they can find out 'What's On' locally in Rutland and as well as being somewhere county visitors can come for ideas of 'What to Do' while in gorgeous Rutland!

My Laser Hair Removal Journey at Calveo, Ashwell Near Oakham, Rutland

There are some beauty treatments that you book on a whim, and then there are the ones you've been thinking about for years. For me, laser hair removal definitely falls into the second category. Growing up, I was blessed with thick, dark, coarse hair. While that's wonderful for the hair on my head, growing up in the 90s meant body hair wasn't exactly celebrated. In fact, it quickly became one of my biggest insecurities. I had my legs waxed for the first time when I was just seven years old.
