There I was pawing through the pages of Wednesday’s Evening Standard, crammed on the tube, when I came across this delightful critique on ‘The Bear & the Hare’ John Lewis ad by ES raver Richard Godwin. And by delightful I mean absolutely DEVASTATING. Basically Godwin poaches the advert in a bloodbath of SADNESS and CYNICISM. Why don’t we just cancel Christmas... Read the rest of this post...

In the last book club post I talked about Sense & Sensibility and, if you remember, I admitted that I had seen the film before I read the book. Beaucoup problemo! Now that I’ve read the book there are a few things that I really want to pull apart. But that’s not what this post is about. It’s about discussing... Read the rest of this post...

(Image via) I’m a planner by nature. Many of my careers of interest have had some sort of planning emphasis—like an urban or media planner. I also jump at the opportunity to plan my annual family vacation and get a rush out of attempting to plan my finances. So like many anal-retentive planners, I created the first draft of my...

My favourite moment of early winter is the first time you realise your breath is hanging in the air, shimmering before you. On those crispy mornings I can’t help but breathe deeply, inhaling the hint of frost and relishing the warmth of knitted gloves, hats and a full stomach. This weekend I had one of those wintery moments, which inspired... Read the rest of this post...

The Facebook ‘Like’ absolutely confounds me. Isn’t it one of the most baffling enigmas of this digital generation? I mean sometimes it’s really obvious what is ‘Likable’ – photos of cats doing crazy shizz with a comical caption generally cracks me up! Like. Other stuff – I just don’t get. Sophie went to pick up some juice from the spa... Read the rest of this post...

I had every intention of writing a heart-felt post about friendship this weekend – I’ve just spent a couple of days with three of my oldest friends laughing uncontrollably, holding hair back with puke splattering into plastic bags and plenty of embarrassing stories of pants.

Romantic films are the ultimate feel-good films, right? Who doesn’t love the pure escapism involved in losing yourself in delusions of grandeur and happy ever afters?

What makes YOU happy in a relationship? I asked myself that question nearly a decade ago. After a string of hopeless relationships that seemed to fizzle out all too quickly, I was single and lonely. So I made a decision. I sat down and thought long and hard about what I would want from a relationship and the kind of... Read the rest of this post...

Being a parent can often feel like one big guilt trip, you fear you’re not doing things right, one day on a short fuse and you worry the damage done to your children is irreplaceable.
