If you want to make beautiful music, you must play the black and the white notes together. Richard Nixon. You might not appreciate a certain genre of music, but sometimes you have to admit that there...
We all have different people from history that we admire, or look to for inspiration when we are having a rubbish day in the office and the rain is beating at the window like a heartbeat. So who woul...
My little sister sent me an email this morning, linking out to this article about a little girl who had written the best running away note. Her message simply read “I imagine you wrote somethin...
It’s that time of year again, when the shops adorn their windows with pretty dresses and the talk of the town is what weddings will be attended this summer, and how many outfits need buying. One of t...
In two weeks time I will turn eighteen, twenty one twenty six, and I’m hoping that I will wake up and gain some of the wisdom that I maybe should have gotten before now, like knowing that last ...
“The existence of other people is essentially awkward.” ― Lionel Shriver, Checker and the Derailleurs There is nothing more awkward than misunderstanding a situation and having to deal with the fall ...
I have blogged before about how often I hear a song and wonder about the point of the lyrics, but I swear to whomever it’s politically correct to swear to these days that the world of music is headed...
There are some times in a girl’s life when she regresses back to her pre teen days, and she frickin loves it. And this weekend was one of those times for me (plus two friends and my sister) when we g...
I know I’m not the only one who has this problem, but I really can’t get the hang of other currencies. In the UK I’m pretty careful with money and have a really clear view of what is a reasonable cos...
So, Barcelona. tour guide. Complete with accessories When you think of Barcelona you think of Gaudi, and that’s what I spent the day thinking of yesterday. I had my very own tour guide who has ...
In my head, I am poise personified. Imagine Darcey Bussell on a tightrope, not batting an eyelid. I exude an air of calm to those around me and everyone is sure, without asking, that everything is ju...
Tomorrow afternoon I am heading to Barcelona (Did I mention that already? What? Well I am…) and I will be at the airport ridiculously early as normal, as I get the fear that I have forgotten my...
Time flies. What a difference a day makes. Time is a great healer. It’s funny how ridiculous you think those phrases are when you are swirling around in the moment like bubbles down the plug ho...
My good bloggy friend Jules made it to Freshly Pressed this week, and when I saw her mug shining out at me from the home page, I must say, I was proud. So in homage to the mantra of Geeking out on Gu...
Since the days when I worked in the cosmetics department, I haven’t been the type of girl who sees preening activities like getting your nails done a necessity. Sure its nice, it makes you feel...
Animals are known for their instincts. A wolf can smell a predator from miles away, and knows to assume either fight or flight positioning. The whole pack gathers together and after the alpha males m...
I have this friend, lets call her Sam … because that’s her name. She has an awesomely funny sense of humour and often makes me laugh so much that tea comes out of my nose (not cool, Belle...
For centuries, animals have adopted mating rituals to ensure that the species survives, and little baby whatevers populate across the land. Male peacocks have a vibrant plume of feathers to wow the f...
The majority of my life is spent acting somewhat maturely, pretending to be a grown up and hoping that at some point, as I get closer and closer to thirty, I will work out what the hell I am supposed...
I know, I know, I’ve been gone for over a week and you wish I would have called if I was going to be absent, you were worried. But I didn’t. And absence makes the heart grow fonder I hear...
I hate saying goodbye. When I left my previous job my manager called me aside and said thank you for the work I had done and we chatted for a bit before I went back to my desk. When it was time to le...
It’s a topic that has been rarely far from conversation over the last few months; why are fitting rooms so evil? They strike fear into the hearts of courageous women all over the world for one ...
“When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. And one thing it takes to accomplish something is courage.” Walt Disney As part of my trip to California, Emma and I...
I am a creature of habit. I didn’t realise HOW MUCH until this trip. It turns out that on my list of things to do on my vacation I want to go to a heap of restaurants that I love (habits) and d...
Today’s post is brought to you by my good bloggy friend, The Byronic Man. Some say he wears his underwear over his trousers and saves the world one ironic phrase at a time, but no one really kn...
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. Buddha It’s Monday morning and I am sat writing this post. Not unlike most weeks, I have a cup of tea and I am wondering wh...
I’ve been a little absent lately, but as The Beatles said, you get by with a little help from your friends. And so today’s post is written by the one and only Bas who writes at Visting Missouri, givi...
First of all I want to apologise for being so rubbish at writing posts this week! I have successfully managed a grand total of 0 – go me! In my defence, I have been half heartedly packing to move hou...
Everyone loves a good story, don’t they? And with the rich history that comes with good old England, there are a good few murder stories that come with the city I have moved to. My favourite is...
Unless you had your head buried in the sand you will know that yesterday was Valentine’s Day (or as the boys in my office call it, Singles Awareness Day). You couldn’t move for flowers and cards in t...
