Love? Life? Joy!
Do you have a 10 year plan? A bucket list for life, you’d like a good career, a wonderful man, maybe a couple of children. You haven’t figured out the details yet? Maybe you’re still trying to find your mister right…. Maybe your off the beaten track somewhere thinking, I would make a plan if I had the foggiest idea... Read the rest of this post...

… And I was back in the city meandering unfamiliar streets. Earlier this year I spent roughly 6 months in a windowless room in a dodgy part of West London desperately trying not to be mugged (again). After a Summer spent back home in Cornwall I was back, this time residing in North London. My earlier experience got me pondering: If... Read the rest of this post...

Who doesn’t love a musical? The old Hollywood types are the best – big gowns and even bigger tunes, usually demonstrating the vocal capabilities of some soon to be superstar. Hello, Dolly! is one such film and was also the first in the ‘feel good film series’ that I hadn’t seen before. That kind of situation doesn’t happen for me... Read the rest of this post...

London’s Hidden Gems Venturing in to the bright lights of central London once again this month I have discovered a new French fancy. Disappointingly this is not a man with a certain je ne sais quoi and penchant for onion soup, but my second favourite love: a new place to eat. Glimmering just in site of Eros by Piccadilly Circus...

So I have been a working, tax-paying member of society for about a year now. Yes, it’s good to no longer be spending frustratingly long periods of time filling in job applications, stressing over what to wear to interviews and freaking out about the prospect of being unemployed forever. But I don’t deny that I miss being a student. Everyone... Read the rest of this post...

When School of Rock was initially released, I was going through my ‘film snob’ phase and refused to watch ‘kids films’. That’s also why it took me so long to watch 13 Going on 30, but that’s a story for a different post. I hadn’t seen much from Jack Black before and just dismissed the film as one of those...

Scattered. That’s how I felt during the beginning of graduate school. Between adjusting to a new city and country, constant marathon-length group meetings, and sporadic eating habits (not a good combination for an introverted hypoglycaemic), I developed mental fatigue like no other. I was often exhausted, at a loss for words, and had difficulty concentrating, which was un-Erin-like. In fact,... Read the rest of this post...

Not to be confused with Blue Soup a la Bridget Jones, this Orange Soup does not include tinted string. It also does not include oranges, so if that’s what you are looking for I’m sorry to disappoint. This week’s contribution is in fact called Orange Soup for a lack of creative genius on my part, as being essentially carrot and... Read the rest of this post...

Okay I’m going to drop the F-bomb. Remember when Natalie Portman challenged ‘feminist’ characters in Hollywood in her interview with Elle UK and Sinead O’Connor openly goaded Miley Cyrus to stop ‘prostituting herself’? Yes Miley, stop it. Stop stop stoooop! There is a lot of stigma attached to being feminist, and I think that the negativity surrounding the word itself has... Read the rest of this post...
