  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Comparing Analogue and Digital Photography for Amateurs Like Me

    (An advantage of using both is this concept. Not my own, maybe one day I’ll give it a go..) Investing in a Polaroid camera and a DSLR are quite possibly two of the best investments I have ever done. I never thought I’d ever be one to be interested in photography, but I always fancied…

  • What to expect from an Intercultural Relationship

    I am a British girl, who drinks tea, tuts quietly to herself and complains about the weather. My boyfriend of nearly 2 years is Brazilian who drinks coffee, loves the beach, but to break the stereotype he hates football (shocking). Our relationship spreads between two continents, visiting each other’s hometowns and slowly learning about one another’s…

  • How London Can Turn a Student into an Adult

    I suppose everybody thinks their university, and the city they studied in, is the best. I quite happily argue this, as London is often voted one of the best in the world. Not surprising for the capital of England, which boasts some of the U.K’s top universities. Student satisfaction is generally high.   There are a number of…

  • Pros and Cons of Being Tall

    I am a tall girl. Not the tallest, but definitely tall. I am about 5 ft 11, none of my pajamas reach my ankles and just yesterday I managed to get my hair caught in something dangling from the ceiling of an aquarium I was visiting (I managed to escape without anyone noticing). When you picture…

  • The Perks of Being in a Long Distance Relationship

      As I have mentioned in a previous blog post (“21 things to achieve before I’m 21 (or at least, be on my way to achieving)” http://wp.me/p4FOMK-3l ), my lovely, caring, soppy and sometimes annoying boyfriend lives in Brazil, whilst I live in grey and rainy Britain. We have been going the distance for nearly a year…
