It’s almost Halloween. That means gorging on candy and gorging on gore, ergo, a marathon of horror movies. It has often been said that female horror characters are a bit – for want of a better word – sucky. But that doesn’t mean they all play to the stereotype of the damsel in distress. Here […]
This is Your Life
Yours. And mine. All of ours.
Hello, lover.
Ahh, love. Valentine’s Day always creeps up on me, I find it too soon after Christmas for any substantial gift giving, but the boy and I usually like to head off to some drizzly English beach for the day and surprise each other with a comical gift or two… (previous presents have included a grumpy […]
Why one of my New Year’s Resolutions wasn’t to eat less cake
Firstly, I will say that my body and I have had our ups and downs. I treated her terribly in my twenties. And so she decided to teach me a lesson. Somewhere between 23 and 24 she stopped conquering junk food and just got (dare I say it) fat. I hated myself for […]

But it hasn’t stopped me from putting it in my first Christmas gift guide, an edit for all those daydreaming, romantic, Walter Mitty types. 1 – “I’m A Dreamer” Knitted jumper […]
4 reasons to fall in love with Malaga
I have been visiting Southern Spain since the late 90s, when Marbella was still ritzy and I was splashing my pesetas on paint-splattered bellbottom jeans. Much like my style (thankfully), the area has changed a lot since then, and Malaga has been at the heart of a cultural renaissance. Here are four reasons why the city has won me over in the last few years.
Hand luggage only? Prep your beauty kit for your carry-on.
Hurrah, I am finally going on holiday. I usually make a yearly pilgrimage to my aunt and uncle’s home in Southern Spain, and to keep costs low I travel with hand luggage only. But this does tend to thwart a gal’s beauty kit, especially if you’re a product junkie like I am. I have thrown […]
5 books you need to read before the end of summer
I love beach holidays because I adore being able to laze horizontally for hours revelling in some pure, unadulterated, no-guilt reading. My favourite bit about packing for the holiday? Picking that wodge of books that I’ve been longing to read but just haven’t had the time. So this year I am sharing my little holiday […]

It’s obligatory to cry on your 30th birthday, right? I didn’t actually suffer the thirties looming doom that some of my friends seemed to be plagued with, but upon opening a birthday card from the boy I couldn’t help but whimper like the 30-year-old was expected to on her birthday. ‘ “It was so good, […]
