21, dumb and living off mum. I kid, as a recent graduate with an upper second class degree I can't really refer to myself as dumb, and I more live with my mum than off of her (also with dad and younger brother), and I'm relatively self-sufficient as I've had a part time job... Continue Reading →
Part Three: Vegas Madness and Surviving Death Valley
This week I'm feeling pretty nostalgic. It's a wonderful thing to have such good memories that you can imagine yourself to be somewhere else, and recently I've found myself relying on it. This weekend marks exactly a year since I flew out to America with my very good pal Hannah, for a beautiful twenty-one-day tour... Continue Reading →
Part Two: Sunny San Diego and a glimpse at the Grand Canyon
The last few months have got pretty much everyone planning their next holiday, desperate to get out of the UK as soon as it's safe. So, over the next few weeks I'll be writing up some travel guides, hopefully to give you all a little bit of post-corona holiday inspo! With that in mind: here... Continue Reading →

There might be pumpkins on the shop floor but I've seen far too many chocolate Santas in the warehouse for my liking. This past week has been academically full on at... Continue Reading →
Ode to a colourful trainer
I have been thinking a lot lately about my favourite pair of trainers. I’m pretty sure this thought came from me looking anywhere but at my computer screen when in the library last week until my eyes came to rest on my shoes- which are of course in dire need of a wash. I’ve had... Continue Reading →
Somewhere in the middle of what exactly?
I consider myself to be a pretty average person. Now, it's taken me a little while to come to terms with this personal label as I don't usually like the idea of labelling humans like we're stationary, but in this case and for the sake of my own personal sanity I'm rolling with it. In... Continue Reading →
