Be aware of those little inner demons that creep out when you least expect it. They tell you you’re not good enough, not strong enough, not brave enough, not beautiful enough – and they’re wrong. Last week was so hard, though I try my best to look like I’m keeping my shit together and see […]
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.
New Queen Of Silence
Jan 31, 2018 | Journal
New Queen of Silence So I went to go and see a throat and voice specialist yesterday and didn’t get the best news… I was told that I have a nodule on my vocal chords and it’s likely going to need surgery. My voice hasn’t been right for a while but I wasn’t expecting this […]
Cypress Hill Interview #FanGirl
Jun 15, 2017 | Festivals, Music
Cypress Hill, one of the most versatile and iconic hip hop acts of a generation, are playing at what is arguably one of the most trailblazing music festivals on offer (no I’m not biased…) Boomtown! Having written 8 studio albums and experimenting on each with different sounds, they are a perfect choice for the independent […]
The toxic levels of misogyny
Jan 8, 2017 | Inclusion & Diversity, Journal
I wasn’t sure whether to write about what happened last night. Partly because I’ve been spending most of the day trying to forget it happened, but mostly because there’s a knot of shame in my stomach that I don’t really understand… I’m not one to be confrontational for no reason, I like to assume people […]
Freetown Sound: A Review of the Political New Album from Blood Orange
Jul 24, 2016 | Music, Music Reviews
The blues, a genre born from songs sung on slave ships to release pain and spark hope, is one that is deeply embedded in the black community. Maturing in Mississippi Delta, just upriver from New Orleans (the birthplace of jazz) the two have been closely linked ever since; strongly rooted in African-American history. Over the past […]
Fashion Fun
When someone asks “so, what have you been up to?” I find myself having to judge that situation very quickly to avoid embarrassment because some people (normally close friends) genuinely want to know what I’ve been up to. It doesn’t matter how long the list is or conversation because we are both engaged in the […]
Foooodie
Aug 11, 2015 | Food
This (was) going to be a fairly short entry because I have SO much work to do at the moment. You know those times when sleeping feels like a waste of hours… But before I forgot I wanted to put up a foodie blog post because I’m really excited about food again. After diva don […]
The Baker In Me…
Sep 8, 2012 | Food
As I’ve mentioned before, I am a baking addict and am constantly being mocked by my family and friends for taking pictures of my triumphs pre consumption. It may seem odd to some, I’ve endured a couple of snipes along the lines of, “Why do you think anyone wants to see pictures of your food? […]
Basic blogger
Aug 6, 2012 | Food
So clearly I am the worst blogger like EVER. Laaaaaaaazy. In my defence, I didn’t want to bore people with mundane bits of information but as I have 3 followers, I don’t think it matters cause no-ones reading it aaaaaanyways! Now I’ve had this epiphany (and am currently unemployed-more on that another day) I have […]
