Love? Life? Joy!
England are out of the World Cup 2014 and needless to say I am not happy, not because I am devoted football fan (devoted to Beckham always) or had much hope in them winning but that’s one summer community that’s ended. Like many hopeful fans across the UK, my friends and I gathered to watch England on the two occasions... Read the rest of this post...

I recently made a major decision that will change my life. Since then, other parts of my life have really improved. Everything around me has taken on the glisten of wonderment that I hadn’t seen there previously. So, its probably about time I told the world. Or, at least, those in it who don’t already know… I’m moving to China.... Read the rest of this post...

If I could give one bit of advice to anyone, it would be: go and talk to old people. Why? Because they will be able to offer you more. Grandparents are just brilliant. I could listen to my nan and grandad all day because they truly have the best conversations. I genuinely think more interesting and meaningful stuff comes out... Read the rest of this post...

It’s easy to dismiss Away We Go as another quirky indie flick, rehashing the marmite tropes of the likes of Garden State, Juno and Little Miss Sunshine but this is different. It’s captivatingly quirky and charming, with the right level of schmalzt. And, best of all, it’s a Sam Mendes film. That’s right, in between the likes of American Beauty...

At the moment I work as a School Careers Advisor. It’s a bit of a weird situation as my ‘career’ is advising other people about what to do with theirs. It’s true, a lot of the jobs that students mention, such as doctor, accountant, solicitor etc., I have a limited knowledge about as I have never done these jobs before....

Typically, music documentaries feature high-profile, big name bands. I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that you’ve never heard of Heavy Load – I hadn’t until I saw it at the Cornwall Film Festival a few years ago. It’s one of those films that’s best viewed if you don’t know much about it; but if I... Read the rest of this post...

I recently got friend dumped. She was a friend of several years, who I could see being a bridesmaid at my (eventual) wedding. And although we no longer lived in the same city, we made it a point to keep in contact often. Which was why I was surprised to get a short and sudden message from her stating that...

A few weeks ago, I was gossiping with my friend Rachel, whilst she was supposed to be working. Naturally, the conversation turned to our love lives. ‘I think Daniel was hoping for some action last night’, I typed. ‘But I didn’t let him go as far as unhooking my bra; I need to know two things before he proceeds: 1....

A few days ago I came across something that further confused my already complicated relationship with make-up: this. My first reaction was amazement. I have never used nor experienced make-up being used like this before (make-up isn’t exactly my forte). Of course I’m not completely oblivious. I know it can work wonders. I realise that the right make-up can create... Read the rest of this post...

So, I heard this yesterday… ‘I mean, I would have done when I was younger, but not now I’m nearly 25’. Hang on a sec…What was that I heard? You’re going to be 25 this year? You were in my year at school… How the hell has this happened? 25… It’s mature, it’s adult age, even old… And it doesn’t... Read the rest of this post...
