Getting to sleep at night over the past year has been a real struggle. I’ve tried pillow sprays, reading before bed, and everything else I could possibly think of to clear my mind and make me feel calm. It was frustrating that I couldn’t seem to find anything that worked for me. After some research, …
A couple of days ago I dropped my water bottle and it cracked. Under normal circumstances this would have been such an insignificant event in my life; I’d just dispose of it and move on. The water bottle was of no sentimental value to me and I could easily just get a new one. It wasn’t a big deal and yet, for some reason, I cried over it.
As today is Valentine’s Day, I thought I would share with you some of my favourite love songs from musicals. There are so many great ones out there and it was extremely difficult to cut this list down. So please feel free to check out my Spotify playlist with more songs at the end of …

Sometimes it’s just not a good song, other times it doesn’t help propel the narrative forward. In recent years, it hasn’t been unheard of for cast albums to include cut songs as bonus …
Let’s swap Blue Monday for ‘Brew Monday’! Last week, Samaritans kicked off their Brew Monday campaign with the goal of turning the negative outlook of a Blue Monday upside down. Statistically, the third Monday of January is known as the most depressing day of the year. In the current climate we need a ‘Brew Monday’ …
If someone had told me this time last year we would have a professionally produced digital concert of Ratatouille the Musical, I would have laughed in their face. What started as a viral trend, cooked up by TikTok users, has ended up being the world’s first crowd-sourced musical. Theatres turned their lights off in March …
Sometimes I think I make it too obvious that I’m a huge Taylor Swift fan… Anyway, as I’ve mentioned before, last year I got really into journaling and I often use prompts to help me focus my thoughts. The other day I was just listening to some Taylor Swift, as you do, and it occured …
