They’re back, Y’all!
{Pandora Sykes, Yours Truly, Imani Randolph} When I heard the whispers back in February I couldn’t quite believe it. No way could they be making a comeback? Surely they can’t be cool again? Oh how wrong I was. When the Autumn/Winter ’18 fashions started rolling in I saw them everywhere. Yes folks. They’re back. The […]
Women’s rising anger
This October sees the one year anniversary of when I would say I became truly political. When I started to take a vested interest in decisions being made that would greatly impact what is important to me. Of course I was disappointed although not surprised by Brexit. Bewildered but then again not surprised by the […]
What’s the buzz?
I just don’t get coffee. I’m sorry. I realise I am in the minority here but I just don’t understand it’s appeal. I know this may come as a disappointment to a lot of you but let me explain what I do know about one of the worlds most popular drinks and you can perhaps […]
Austin, Texas BABY
There were two different reactions when I told people I was heading to Austin, Texas as part of my six week 40th birthday extravaganza road trip. There were those who knew and there were those who didn’t. Those who had never heard of the place or didn’t know the greatness of Austin gave a blank […]
The warm glow of Glow
https://youtu.be/AZqDO6cTYVY I knew I’d love the Netflix series Glow right from the off. As soon as I saw the trailer at the beginning of last Summer I couldn’t wait for it’s arrival. When this, seemingly, small show about women wrestlers in the 80’s did arrive I was not disappointed. Over the past year and a […]
A real Southern Belle
The first thing that hits you about the coastal town of Savannah, Georgia is the heat. It’s a sultry, sexy kind of heat. It caresses you and slows you down to a languid pace of life that can’t help but make you smile. A leisurely, knowing smile that means you’re just going to take it […]
Stir Crazy on the Island
It took me four seasons before I succumbed to the unhealthy addiction of watching Love Island. I managed to stay away for so long but was at a friends for dinner at the beginning of July and she MADE me watch it. She literally forced me so I had to. I knew that my addictive […]
Santa Cruz stole my heart
I’d only ever heard of Santa Cruz in passing. Just on the peripheries of conversations. I’d googled where was the best place to surf on the West Coast of America and it had popped up here and there. I didn’t pay it much attention but as I reached San Francisco and asked for West Coast […]
Things I’ve learnt…
Things I’ve learnt from my friends husband walking out on her and her three small children ~ Listen. At the beginning your number one job in this situation is to listen. Do not offer advice. You’re not a counsellor or a therapist, you weren’t in that marriage with them. She will 100% be getting conflicting […]
New Blood
I’m bored with my friends. WHAT!?!! GUYS!!!! Come on…as if that statement could be true. You’re the only ones who have supported my average to marginally above average work for the past 18 years. No, what I mean by that provocative and attention grabbing sentence is that I want to see other people. She’s all […]
