  • Wanderlust Novels

    If you’re bitten by the travel bug, it doesn’t take much to fuel the desire to take off and see the world. Just on the train from London to my home city recently I was listening to Bruce Springsteen and thinking to myself “I could definitely just take off on a motorbike”, before reminding myself…

  • The Low-Maintenance Life

    I generally think of myself as a low-maintenance person. My daily make up routine usually consists of eyeliner, lipstick aaaaand usually that’s it. It’s useful for me to have a small makeup collection consisting mostly of the essentials, and a few bonus items usually left forgotten at the bottom of the bag. If you need to…

  • St Paul’s Cathedral – Expired Polaroid Film

    Despite the smudges this could be one of my favourite polaroids I have ever taken…

  • Brighton Pier – Expired Polaroid Film

    I went to Brighton with my dad last week as a birthday day trip. I had never been before, and on a sunny day it was great to soak up the atmosphere that possesses the vibrant edginess of London, but combined with the relaxing feeling of being by the sea.

  • Lesser Known Gems of London

Possibly influenced by my love of elephants and tea? Yes… but it is a country…

  • Things I achieved before turning 21

    Just under I year ago I wrote this post on things I intended to achieve before turning 21, and my hopes on achieving them all were not high. But I managed some! Graduate I achieved a 2:1 in English Literature from Queen Mary, University of London. Of course it wasn’t easy- my final year was challenged by…

  • The Perks of being British

    (Or living in Britain). If you think of a British person you may think of a upper class gentleman/lady who drinks afternoon tea, maybe someone who’s a bit of a geezer, or a group of people stood queuing for no particular reason. Truth is we are all these things and so much more. We are quite…

  • Little Pick Me Ups

    Everybody has days when things are a bit poo. Could be from waking up on the wrong side of the bed, or because life never seems to ease up on stress and hardships. I compiled a list of small and mundane, but pleasant things I adore and use to recharge the batteries. They won’t change your life…
