Sweet, delicious and sticky! The humble apple, banana and pear don’t quite satisfy my fruit fancy, but give me a plate of kiwi, pineapple, passion fruit and guava and I’m living in a dream. What is it about these exotic fruits which fill us with delight and happiness? Perhaps it is the connection to far…
Recently, I came across an old family photo from when my ancestors lived in Kenya. I’ve been trying to restore it, but it is an amazing photo which really shows me a part of my heritage!
For me, moisturising is a pain. You get out of the shower and are running late for work/ dates/ nights out/ life in general, so who has the time to apply cream all over one’s body?! I certainly don’t. However, Nivea has an affordable in shower moisturiser that rescued me from dry skin! It takes…
Marks and Spencer has taken the country by storm with their suede A-line skirt. But their gorgeous leather skirt has been over looked. I am obsessed with this black leather pencil skirt.

Set high up on an unforgiving hill is Alexandra Palace, better known as Ally Pally to its locals. The singer song-writer, Ben Howard, played 3 nights at this prestigious venue. I have been excited to see him…
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” (Bob Marley) I have always been mesmerised by music. Artists have the power to create music which can transport use to different places and I ADORE seeing bands live. However, when a musician plays their instrument in an original way, unexpected, I am…
“I don’t have time for hobbies. At the end of the day, I treat my job as a hobby. It’s something I love doing.” (David Beckham) At school I could’ve been the reigning champion of tiddly winks… But never since leaving the school gates have I so much as even flicked a counter. As children we…
“Spring is natures way of saying “Let’s party!”” A few snaps of my garden in this lush weather today! A day off with a BBQ is an exceptional way to spend an afternoon!
“In the Spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather in 24 hours.” The long awaited slither of sunshine is about to grace our lives on our quaint little island.
