• Hope you’ve had a lovely week! Here’s to the weekend - and empty to-do lists! 🎉
  • Hope you’ve had a lovely Wednesday! Here’s yet another York snap. 🙊
  • Hope you’ve had a great Monday. This pretty little village is Shottle, just outside Belper in Derbyshire. 😍
  • Hope you’ve had a lovely week! I ventured up to Castleton this afternoon, so I’ve got plenty of snaps from there to share with you in the coming days (once I’ve edited them!) - but for now, here’s a random snap I took on the Corrie set last year. 💡
  • Hope you’ve had a lovely week! ✨ Today, I’ve written quite an honest blog post about how I’ve been falling out of love with Instagram lately. You might have noticed I’ve been quite absent around here recently, and that’s why, to be honest. (You can find the link in my bio, as usual.) Do you ever feel disillusioned with this pesky little app? 🙈
  • Lovely York Minster ✨
  • It’s the perfect weather for curling up with a book, isn’t it? ☔️
  • Hope you’re having a lovely weekend so far! (In spite of the rain... ☔️) I’ve been busy working on the blog today - This afternoon I’ve been writing posts for next week! This evening, I’m going to curl up with a good book and maybe a box set too. ☺️ What are your plans?
  • Happy Friday! We’ve nearly made it to the weekend! 😅 Hope you’ve had a good week so far! Here’s a snap of a pretty street in - you guessed it - York. 📸

A UK Beauty, Lifestyle & Photography Blog

Looking for something?

New Here?

Welcome to Katie Writes – A UK Beauty, Lifestyle & Photography Blog!

Hello! I’m Katie! You can find more out about me on the ‘About‘ page of this blog.

I started Katie Writes back in 2014, after writing an anonymous blog for several years beforehand. This blog was initially just a beauty blog, but five years later, it’s a bit of a mish-mash of everything! From the odd beauty post, to many lifestyle ramblings, more personal diary offerings, occasional blogging advice, and even some photography bits thrown in for good measure! It’s quite the mixed bag.

Where do I start?

If you don’t know where to start, here are a few of my most popular posts, and some of my personal favourites too!
