Following my personal and professional life as a twenty-something muddling her way through life post-university.
It has become a trend in recent years to remake films that are heavily-dominated with male actors, to include more female characters, but should women replace men in film?

If you can’t tell from the photo of me and a scooby sandwich, this post will not be serious, it’s a chat about being real about our relationship with food. It’s not about about how to keep your eyebrows on fleek, or what goals to set and not achieve, or how to improve yourself and if […]

After visiting Las Vegas we drove to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Well we’d booked a hotel there, but we hadn’t booked transport yet. So at 6:30am we went down to the rental car section of our hotel (because Vegas has everything) and we tried to get a car. Our options were an average sized […]
