Perfect Podcasts for Cleaning or Sorting Your Life Out

08/10/2018

I’m mixing it up a bit today and talking about some of my favourite podcasts to listen to when I’m getting my clean on. Whether that’s clearing those bastard cobwebs from the ceilings, pulling my hair from the drain, sorting through my bursting wardrobe or simply doing the washing up (that Aaron promised me he would do the night before – but here we are with all of his cereal bowls piled up high and the remnants from last night’s dinner stuck to the pan) – I love to listen to people having a good old chinwag that I can feel a part of when I’m doing all of this as it makes the time fly by.

I’d love to have some speakers to blast these playlists through our entire flat so I don’t have to rely on my flimsy headphones being wrapped up in my arms and stuck into my running armband (which was in fact bought for that purpose, but life got in the way and I haven’t been running for a looooong time). The band always seems to slide down my arm when I’m bent over the bath, pulling my hair that seems to fall out at no end, from the plug hole or laying on the floor with the hoover, trying to get it under the sofa so that if somebody visits and accidentally drops something under there, I don’t need to hang my head in shame, apologising for the amount of dirt, hair and stray bits of cereal that Aaron’s dropped that’s under there. So I’m really excited that Panasonic wanted to sponsor me for today’s post as it gave me an opportunity to think about a resolution to my armband dilemma – make sure to check out Panasonic Multi-Room Speakers if you’re going through the same dilemma!

Here are three of my favourite podcasts to listen to when I’m getting my clean on or simply sorting my life out;

Keeping it Candid


Hosted by Millie Cotton and Sophie Milner, this pop culture podcast delves into some of the latest shenanigans going on whether that’s in the blogging and Instagram world with questionable growth tactics, to viral posts or making friends as adults – they’ve got a bit of everything! I’ve followed Sophie on YouTube and Instagram for a couple of years, so stumbled upon this podcast when she mentioned it a while back. I was so glad I did as it kick-started my love of podcasts and listening to people discussing topics I was constantly reading about in my Twitter feed or that felt were relevant to me, really caught my attention. This podcast is perfect if you’re into digital pop culture and has been my go-to when I’m lacking in motivation to write blog posts.

Loose Lips


Hosted by Luisa Zissman and Anna Williamson, this covers topics that have come up in the news or ones that have been highly requested by their followers. I really enjoy this as there are unfiltered opinions, there’s no apologising for what has been said, it’s blunt and to the point (I’ve got a lot of people in my life that are like this so it’s something I find quite refreshing – Aaron’s like this and it’s one of my favourite elements of his personality).

The Receipts Podcast

The big sisters of the internet, Audrey (formerly known as Ghana’s Finest), Tolly T and your mamacita Milena Sanchez eyyyyy (if you’ve listened, you’ll understand 😉) host an advice based podcast where listeners will write in with their dilemmas for unadulterated advice – they cover everything from career, relationships, racism and religion. Listening to them is like being sat in a room with your mates, having a laugh, catch up and chat which is what makes this podcast so relatable. If you’re up for outbursts of song, reminiscing on old times and sharing stories, this podcast is for you!
Thank you to Panasonic for sponsoring today’s post – I hope to find some great speakers to blast out some of my favourite podcasts (and songs of course – got to have a boogie every now and then!) from all rooms in our flat!
I hope you enjoyed this post and have found a new podcast to listen to whilst you roll your sleeves up for a cleaning session! Let me know if you’ve got any recommendations in the comments below – I’m always on the hunt for new ones to listen to!
Until Next Time

    LMAO Gaby I love the little dig at Aaron here! I love the sound of these podcasts and I am genuinely going to have a listen of the first two as they sound RIGHT up my street! I’ve read quite a few posts on podcasts before but this is the only one I’ve actually properly wanted to listen to by the sounds of them. Keeping it candid sounds like a good one for us bloggers! I definitely need to delve into Youtube more as I feel like I’m missing out on a few cool creators!

      He deffo deserves the dig 😂😂 and they’re probably my faves – Luisa Zissman is savagely honest which I love (it definitely makes for good listening), Sophie totally understands the blogger world and is completely honest about her experience with blogging (like how much to charge for posts and everything!)
      You definitely need to give some YouTube channels a watch, it’s so easy to get lost in an abyss of content 😂❤️❤️

Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and Hello strangers! Thought I should pop on here and let you all know I haven’t forgotten about this online world, I’ve just needed some time to myself after almost 5 years of continuous life sharing! I also haven’t been heading off anywhere glam or buying much to share on here, so today’s snap is a bit of a throw back to just before the first lockdown when I found this gorgeous wool blazer in @british_heart_foundation from @poloralphlauren 🥰 how are you all and have you managed to find any bargain secondhand finds?! ♻️🌿
I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely go I’ll be honest and say that I’ve completely gone off of Instagram over the last few months and popped on here this morning for the first time in weeks to see if I could get back into the swing again. To be honest I’ve been so busy with work most days, that when it comes to having some free time all I want to do is slob out, watch something on the telly and do nothing - I spend most of my life on my laptop or work phone, that the last thing I want to do when I’m finished is churn out more content. But I’ve come to realise that’s okay - I don’t need to let my social media dictate how I live my life, or feel bad about the fact that I don’t have certain things, can’t go certain places or live a certain life - because social media (and especially Instagram), is where people showcase their best selves and not necessarily what’s going on off screen. I realised a while ago that jealousy isn’t going to get me anywhere; I might look at someone online and envy their life, but should be thankful (and am!) for the life that I’ve already got - there’s always going to be someone worse off and everyone has different goals or ideals in life, so there’s no use in getting bogged down when I can’t afford to go certain places, have certain things, when I’ll get where I need to be in my own time. I just need to carry on doing my own thing and not let the Instagram envy get me down ❤️
{GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sen {GIFTED} Thank you so much to @kaolin.kiln for sending me these gorgeous earrings from her Etsy store - everything is zero waste and all packaging is 100% recyclable!  I hope you’re all enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and making sure your skin is well protected from the sun - you don’t want to end up tossing and turning because you got burnt and turned into a radiator in a day! We went food shopping and out to the in-laws for our weekly Sunday roast, so I’m now spending the afternoon keeping as cool as I can in the flat, readying myself for another week of work in the heat!
What a gorgeous day we have today! I’ve spent mo What a gorgeous day we have today! I’ve spent most of the weekend holed up at home, sweating my tits off and binge watching Empire, but it was nice to leave the flat to do some food shopping and have a Sunday roast with the in-laws! On the way home we stopped at a field near home to take some photos for today’s post and it was fun to try out a new location, rocking my #secondhanddress I picked up from @scopecharity last weekend!
