Often, we are encouraged to look at red flags in others. What is this person doing or saying that doesn't align with me, my values, my perspective? What are the things that others do, whether intentionally or not, that make me feel angry, frustrated, anxious, sad?...
Identity
Here is the hub of my thoughts; ideas, experiences, everything and anything. If you have something you’ve been thinking about or something you’d like me to write about, let me know.
Self care : Necessity Not Luxury
Feb 5, 2023 | Journal, Reviews, Travel
I was listening to an old The Receipts podcast this weekend with guest Tanya Compass, creator of Exist Loudly, and there was a part that really stood out. They were discussing how choosing yourself is the first step to healing broken relationships. Whether it be...
Returning
Jan 23, 2023 | Journal
It feels like so long since I stopped, just to write. So much has happened in the last 2 years it’s hard to know where to start. This feels like sitting down with a friend who I haven’t seen in years and being asked, what have you been up to? Catch me up! When really,...

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog. Partly life has been going a thousand times a minute and partly because so much has changed I barely know where to start! So what’s changed? I guess the headline news is that I’m currently Directing a short for Netflix after...

It's hard to know how to start this - it feels strange, like reaching out to someone you fell out of love with after giving them the silent treatment. But it's not you I fell out with, it's me. The truth is the past year has been so overwhelming. Pandemic aside, since...
We’re Open!
May 10, 2020 | Fashion
One good thing about quarantine is that it's given me the space and time I needed to figure out how to set up a shop, take some pics of all the amazing things I've been making and collecting over the last year or so and actually get them up for sale! The Shop There...
Working at Home Tips
Mar 23, 2020 | Journal
What an utterly mad month this has been - to be honest, I feel like I'm in a totally bizarre dream. Tomorrow it would have been a month since I flew to a whirlwind week in Lagos, Nigeria; downloading more into my brain than was actually possible to digest, cramming in...
Organised Chaos
Feb 29, 2020 | Journal, Travel
Before I came I really thought I was fairly well travelled. I’ve gone travelling alone - backpacked round South America by myself with no Spanish in my vocabulary. Jumped headfirst into new cultures with their music and food and language (where I can) but...
