I love the internets. I surely do. As someone who has managed to make a career here as a writer after being turned down by every magazine going (and I mean that literally – even mags I had no d...
I’m back up in Leeds for the week to visit my family. I came up to run the Leeds Half Marathon (because apparently I can’t go anywhere now without running a race while there) and the day ...
Friendships are a funny old game. I don’t think I’ve ever really been very good at them to be honest. A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine decided to ‘break up’ with me, if...
I don’t know what it is that makes it hard for us to be happy for people, like, genuinely happy, when things are going good in their life, but sometimes it is. Good news is often greeted with g...
I figured it’s been a little while since I did a little fashion collage post for you so I thought I’d update you on my current favourite things for Spring. These bits are getting a lot of...
I was on the train yesterday, eavesdropping on someone’s phone conversation as I tend to do to pass the time. This particular was one that was all too familiar. ‘Don’t call him yet,...
When I started running, it was a solitary experience. Running at 5:30am, under the cover of darkness, hoping no one would see me having to take a walk break and nurse a stitch. For my first half mara...
Up until last week, I had heard of Secret Cinema, but not Future Cinema. Future Cinema specialise in creating living, breathing experiences of cinema. So when I was invited along to their showing of ...
What a whirlwind period of awesome it’s been in the life and times of Bangs of late. Racing in Berlin, starting Spikes & Heels, just having so many damn awesome people in my life – I ...
It’d be nice to think that school time playground antics can be left there, but it seems sometimes as we grow older, certain things remain. We so often associate peer pressure with being a teen...
Sometimes, we get swept away with life. Circumstances get out of our control and before we know it, we’re feeling out of our depth. New situations and experiences are great, but sometimes peopl...
Love came to me unexpectedly and I guess, by some standards, at age 29, rather late, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. For me, everything had aligned perfectly over the years to lead me...
So, Nissan approached me a few weeks and offered to give me their new Nissan LEAF, an electric car, to test drive for a couple of weeks as part of their Big Turn On Challenge. (I know, I know, this i...
This past weekend I went to Berlin. It was my birthday when I flew out on the Friday and what better way to celebrate than to run a half marathon on the Sunday? I’d wanted to go to Berlin for a...
Last week, a video emerged of N’Dubz singer Tulisa giving her then boyfriend some oral pleasure. Sex tapes are so *yawn*, but the reaction to this one bears some discussion. This seemed to have...
Having lived both here in the UK and overseas in Canada and the United States of UhMerrCa, I think it’s fair to say that over here, we’re pretty much a nation of pessimists. That’s ...
Being that it was Mother’s Day yesterday, I got to thinking. I watched an episode of The Good Wife recently in which a young attorney left the firm because she was getting married and wanted to...
The fabulous Cate Sevilla, founder of the awesome website Bitch Buzz, recently expanded her awesomeness exponentially with the creation of PopHive, an internet TV show all about pop culture. She rece...
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ve probably noticed me alluding to a little project I’ve been working on for the past few months. Finally, I am ready to reveal it! Today sees...
I came across the picture on the left recently, of me after I finished my first half marathon in October 2010. That look on my face is my ‘I can’t quite believe I just did that’ fac...
I am lucky enough to be offered a lot of things through this blog, but none have excited me as much as the offer of participating in a private graffiti workshop. When the kind peeps over at Graffiti ...
This past weekend I very randomly ended up in Paris running the half marathon. When my good friend Candie text me last minute asking if I’d like to go, I figured hey, cheering my friend on in a...
Due to my love of high heels, I’m often asked how I mastered walking atop such stylish stilts. I thought it was about time I put together a little guide, so I made that the topic of my latest S...
Just because. Wolford SS12 They’re beautiful. And they’re mine. *dreamy sigh*
When you’re as crazy about footwear as I am and someone asks you if you’d like to design your own shoes, it’s hard not to jump up and down on your bed like an excited teenager. At t...
People, let’s talk about affairs of the heart. I mean let’s really get down to the nitty gritty of it all. Specifically, when they don’t go so well. The internet has a way of...
You know, I like to think we’ve come a little ways as women. What with us having the vote now and everything, we’ve made some significant changes. Hark at all the opportunities we now hav...
I met up with two of my blog buddies, Sarah Akwisombe and Dewbien last week. We meet to have a bit of a round table, exchange ideas and the like and a number of interesting topics came up. One of whi...
Valentine’s Day is one of those days that people either love or hate. I’ve always felt that if you love someone, you shouldn’t need a special day dedicated to expressing it. But hey...
Do you do a lot of web-lusting? I do. Web-lusting is the term I use to describe the hours I spend online lusting after various things, mainly clothes and accessories (lately, particularly Alexander M...
