A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being Chief Bridesmaid for my friend Lynda’s wedding. We all received the works – professional make-up, hair, everything. It was quite a treat being able to literally roll out of bed at 8:30am and have it all taken care of. But I’ll tell you what wasn’t a treat. All the ladies... Read the rest of this post...

Happy New Year, Treasures! Another day, another year, another empty Happy Jar and another set of resolutions. (Image via) I never really write New Year’s resolutions. I usually have some basic plans but don’t tie myself down. For years now, I’ve never really had any specific goals that have held my own attention long enough to stick to them. And...

Lying side by side in the darkness one evening, at that time of night when we know we should be sleeping but have our most honest conversations, he asked me something he had yet to learn about me: ‘What are you most afraid of? Is it Spiders? Snakes?’ No, I’m not scared of spiders or snakes, although perhaps I ought... Read the rest of this post...

A few weeks ago, I went down to Southampton to spend the weekend with my dear friend Ollie. We’ve grown up together and I had yet to visit him in his lovely new house, and meet his crazy labradoodle, Oscar. We didn’t really have much of a plan of what to do whilst I was down there, but one thing... Read the rest of this post...

This year I have seen A LOT of changes to the people in my life, my career and my home. Although the idea of new beginnings can be an exciting thing, I have often felt a little bit scared too. I got used to putting on an enthusiastic facial expression to almost blank out something that was getting me down (because let’s... Read the rest of this post...

Taking on a challenge. So, about 3 months ago whilst attending my usual weekly kickboxing session, one of the trainers dropped it in that he reckoned I could fight. Not too surprising I guess. I have been kickboxing and sparring for years but I had only been training at a place that does full contact about a year. This would... Read the rest of this post...

I have been thinking recently about how easy it is to determine if someone is successful based on how they ‘look’ on their public profiles. When I use the term ‘look’ I am referring to not only their face, but also how they portray themselves on social media platforms, which is a HUGE thing nowadays. I want to scratch your brain on a few things... Read the rest of this post...

This week, the face of the United Kingdom is going to change. Yes, that’s right – it’s election time. On Thursday, 7th May, we are going to be voting in the General Election. This is a big deal, people. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that this general election campaign has been both uninspiring and downright confusing. I, as... Read the rest of this post...

Most people think dreams about being successful are childlike and silly, because as adults we should be practical and sensible and not give ourselves false hope. Well, in my opinion, Ba Humbag! I should be thinking positively and having hope: believing that with a positive mind comes great things.

Since it’s the New Year, I’m sure many of you have made resolutions and, for some, one of those might be to write your first novel. Last year, after getting rejected by numerous publishers, I decided to self publish my first book: Beyond The Luna. It did extremely well for a debut novel – hitting the best seller list on iTunes and... Read the rest of this post...
