Restaurant Review: Siirguista Bros, London
*Disclaimer – I ain’t no food critic, just a foodie giving her personal opinions* Siirguista Bros is probably my favourite go-to burger joint in London. Whenever I have friends visiting and we need to find a quick bite to eat, this is the place I take them. Not only is the food good, but service …
Musical Theatre To Go See In Post-Shutdown London
With London theatres gearing up to reopen from the 17th May, I’ve been thinking about which shows I’m most excited to book a seat for. I was luckier than many last year with my theatre ventures. In the middle of the shutdown, I managed to see The Last Five Years at the Southwark Playhouse. That’s …
Netflix: Shadow And Bone (But I’m Here For The Crows)
*SPOILER WARNING: FOR BOTH THE BOOKS AND THE TV SHOW* You could say I fell into this fandom hard down six flights of stairs and off a bridge. A mere week ago I hadn’t even read any of the Grishaverse books. Now, thanks to a couple of obsessed friends, here we are. I started and …
A Simple Slice of Sunday Thoughts
It’s been ten days since my last blog post. I don’t think I’ve ever left it this long before between posts. There’s a ton of things I want to write about, but honestly I’ve just felt so demoralised to do anything this week. I try not to be so openly negative on my blog, but …

7 European Destinations I Want To Visit Post-Pandemic
Does anyone else feel like travelling to other countries is a distant memory? Last year I had two holidays abroad cancelled. A year later I have still not booked any new travel plans over fears I would also have to abandon them. I had a few issues getting my money back for one of them …
She Was Just Walking Home: Let’s Talk About Victim Blaming
Trigger warning: this post mentions sexual assault, sexual harrassment and stalking. This past week I’ve been quite shaken by something that happened in my local area. There’s a lot of noise in my head right now, and I’m finding the news and social media to be very overwhelming. Maybe I’m just contributing towards all that …
10 Journal Prompts Inspired By Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’
I really enjoyed coming up with journal prompts for lyrics from ‘Lover’, so thought it would be fun to do the same with ‘Reputation’. As I don’t always know how to start writing in my journal, I often use prompts to help me focus my thoughts. The prompts below don’t always necessarily have anything to do …
