I watched the first episode of “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction” on Netflix and was delighted and entertained by David Letterman interviewing former POTUS Barack Obama. An incredibly insightful, funny and inspirational 60 minutes of my life well spent. The next episode with George Cloney also brilliant. The third episode however started to go down […]

I remember having to revisit the local cinema three times before being able to purchase Django Unchained tickets. The story of a slave fighting for his freedom in Southern America by white director Quintin Tarantino was sold out for weeks. Rave reviews and the Guardian ‘comments section’ had packed out my local cinema with white, […]

I’ve decided I would like to rellocate to wherever the people defending H&M are from. I’ve read comment after comment across social media by people stating they do not understand why people are getting so offended. What a blissful existence they must have, to have never been exposed to the racist use of the word […]

When my doctor told me that I needed to reduce my stress levels, a day trip to Walthamstow probably wasn’t exactly the remedy she had in mind. But after being lured to the urban suburb with the promise of a mani and invite to the Spa Experience bloggers event- that’s exactly where I headed.. And […]

I may not have had a lot of time (or mind space) to write in recent months but I’ve definitely had to do a lot of soul searching and reflecting, so when I saw this … …. a blog post wrote itself (and then I had to rewrite it a million times 😉 Sometimes we […]

Last month the UK government announced an increase in mental health funding by 1.3 billion. This should be welcomed news, but I have my doubts. The total disregard and intentional underfunding of the NHS means I can’t help but wonder whether this is just another tactic to stop us thinking about Grenfell or DUP rather then a true […]

#bye2016 seemed to sum up the general feeling towards 2016. From the heartfelt loss of celebrated creative spirits, the political Brexit and Trump disasters, to the alarming rate at which our society and enviroment are being bullied to the point of no return – 2016 has been quite shitty. Although world affairs greatly angered me […]

Hello Guys, My stats tell me that I haven’t posted for the whole of September… As a teacher, this is no surprise. But it’s not just the new academic year To Do lists that have kept me at bay from my blog. I have also been busy building a brand new website with one of […]
