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. Not only is it sexy and comfortable, it hugs the body in all of the right places. Marks and Spencer is seriously overlooked…
“He who conquers others is strong, he who conquers himself is mighty.” (Lao Tsu) So six weeks ago I set myself a challenge. I had a rigorous exercise schedule, which initially I thought would leave me dead. However, by week three I was hooked by the results I was seeing. Every Monday I took snaps…
“At least I taught her full Indian dinner, the rest is up to God.” (Bend it like Beckham) 2002’s Bend it like Beckham opened up the doors of real Asian living.

“Keep your head up. Keep your heart strong.” (Ben Howard) Dusk on Friday night overlooking the city was stunning. 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. Britain is preparing for our annual ‘heatwave’. Tabloids are sure to slap on headlines such as ‘1000s of Brits flock to Brighton for sunshine…
“Sick and perverted always appeals to me.” (Madonna) Icon and musical royalty, Madonna has been gracing the stage for the past 30 odd years, and her show time antics haven’t gone unnoticed.

“Italy has changed. But Rome is Rome.” (Robert De Niro) It took nearly 8 years to build the Colosseum… And we thought our builders were slow!
“Survival can be summed up in three words- never give up. That’s the heart of it really. Just keep trying.” (Bear Grylls) I’ve been looking forward to this programme coming back to our screens for a long time. Whilst the world is eagerly awaiting the return of Game of Thrones, I have been preparing myself…
