After lengthy deliberation about the topic of this week’s blogpost, I decided it was about time I wrote a piece on music, as it’s such a big part of my everyday life. One of my biggest bugbears in life is music snobbery i.e. when people look down on you or are unnecessarily “judgey” because you…
My top 5 songs to make you feel sassy
Galentine’s > Valentine’s
The dreaded v word. It’s that time of that year again where the singletons shiver in fear and everyone in a relationship scrambles to find a gift to showcase their love to their significant other. The shops are full of ‘I love you’ merchandise and Tindr is rife with v day dick pics *shudders at…
Learning not to take things personally
Over the course of the past 2 years, I’ve noticed a change in myself and the way I feel towards the people around me. The younger version of myself was more abrupt, more confrontational and generally just fucking hard work. Although I still harbour some of these emotions, and have a tendency to speak my…
Is the internet the enemy of progression?
The internet. Where do I even start? Last Sunday whilst sitting on a bench in Greenwich, James and I were feeling philosophical and took some time to ponder how far mankind had come as a species (heavy, I know, but stay with me). We spoke about the way technology had progressed in the last 100…

Growing up is scary
I awoke on Saturday morning, wide eyed and anxious to address the birthday-sized elephant in the room. Despite being a mere day older in my head, I seemed to have gained a whole year on my age overnight. 24. Where did the last year of my life go? Had I frittered it away, along with…
What 2017 has taught me
2017 was always going to be an eventful year for me. At the end of 2016 I was home from my first ever backpacking trip and I was unsure about what the next year ahead would have in store for me. Although I had a good job to come home to and was surrounded by…
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to everyone who reads this post, and I hope you all had fabulous days spent with the ones that you love. This post is of course 2 days late, as I’ve been rather busy seeing family (and eating) but as it’s the season of giving and goodwill, I know you will all let…
Saturday night at Winterville
In an attempt to throw myself into as many festivities as I possibly could, whilst avoiding a trip to Winter Wonderland at all costs, I bit the Christmassy bullet and visited Winterville. At the risk of sounding like a Scrooge (a swear-word as far as I am concerned) Winter Wonderland just isn’t my bag. It’s…
A Sunday well-spent in Greenwich
As it was my turn to be in charge of Sunday activities (see my 'Staycation' blogpost for more info) I decided that my safest bet would be a trip to Greenwich. There's plenty going on, festivities would be in full swing and we awoke to glorious weather; it was going to be a good day.…
My list of Christmas ‘it’s ok ifs’
It's ok if your Spotify consists entirely of Christmas songs It's ok if your work Christmas party is your favourite night out of the year And it's ok if you set yourself reminders not to embarrass yourself at your work Christmas party It's ok if you attempt all the high notes in 'All I want…
