Last year was a bad time for many reasons, but Eurovision being cancelled was just the cherry on top. Thankfully, this year it is able to go ahead. Happy Eurovision Day everyone! Huge respect to the Netherlands for being able to make this year go ahead, despite numerous restricting factors. I know this year is …
To Interval, Or Not To Interval?: Why Theatres Shouldn’t Scrap Intervals
Should we be worried about losing intervals? Theatre critic, Lyn Gardener, at The Stage thinks that we should scrap them entirely. Her comments came after the Globe Theatre announced their 2021 season would resume without intervals. This is mainly for covid safety reasons above anything else. But her argument is that intervals are really just …
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 …

9 Life Lessons That Taylor Swift’s ‘Fearless’ Taught Me
Twelve year old me would be screaming right now (just as twenty-five year old me is). I haven’t exactly made it a big secret on my blog that I’m a Taylor Swift fan, so it should be no surprise to anyone when I say that ‘Fearless’ changed my life. In my early years at secondary …
A Simple Slice of Gratitude
Hey there, hello! How are you doing today? Here in London, Spring is full swing. It’s a sunny day, the mornings are brighter and the daffodils are no longer a rare sight. It seemed like the perfect day to share a more personal post. The past twelve months have been a difficult time for me. …
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 …
