That Zoella Article

I've always found my blog as somewhere I can respond to current and popular news, as such I wanted to address an issue which I couldn't possibly respond to using 140 characters on Twitter. I'll begin this post with saying that I'm not what you would call a Zoella fan....

LOVE || & They Lived Happily Ever After

LOVE || & They Lived Happily Ever After

I've recently been recapturing my youth somewhat and rewatching some of my much loved Disney films.  Y'know, the classic Disneys:  Beauty and the Beast, Lady and the Tramp, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid. I'm of the age that I don't have time for the new Disney...

The Soundtrack of Almost Famous

The Soundtrack of Almost Famous

We all have that one song/film that acts as kind of a comfort food and I'm no exception. When I've had a particularly rubbish day or week, there's nothing I love more than settling down in my PJs in bed/on the sofa, under a duvet, with my choice of comfort food...

Comparison is the Thief of Joy

Comparison is the Thief of Joy

Theodore Roosevelt once said that comparison is the thief of joy.   We're all guilty of comparing ourselves to other people at some point or another. Whether it be our friends, other bloggers, celebrities, a guys ex girlfriend. I'm sure there's been a time when you've...

MUSIC || Investing in Music

LOVE || Getting Over An Ex

LOVE || Getting Over An Ex

Break ups are hard. If you read my "This Is Not A Love Story" post some breakups play out like the final scene from the Titanic. It's dramatic, it's heartwrenching and getting over an ex is bloody well painful. But what comes after the breakup is the healing pains...

LIFE || Argos Colour Campaign

LIFE || Argos Colour Campaign

I was recently invited by high street giant Argos to get involved in their "Colour Campaign" which is a campaign with a view to inject some much needed colour into the home.  The entry specifications were to design a moodboard or decorate a room based around a chosen...

LOVE || This Is Not A Love Story

LOVE || This Is Not A Love Story

Sometimes when you're going through a break up you want to be molly coddled. Swathed in hugs and showered in tea and sympathy and to be told that everything is going to be okay as you wipe tears and snot up a dirty hoody sleeve that you wear simply because it smells...

LOVE || In With Your Heart, Out With Your Head

LOVE || In With Your Heart, Out With Your Head

Sometimes in life we have to have those sorts of conversations which we'd rather volunteer for anal surgery than have. We fumble around doing anything but broach that elephant in the room issue knowing full well we're just masking an issue when we should be facing it...
