30 Day Ab & Squat Challenge diary

The 30 Day Ab Challenge and 30 Day Squat Challenge keep popping up everywhere – so I thought why not make good use of all my free time? Rather than do one challenge at a time (like a normal person) I did both simultaneously. I downloaded a free app for each from the Apple app store and kept a little diary…

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Tomorrow heralds the start of National Chocolate Week – but I couldn’t wait, and consumed a 110g bar of Dairy Milk tonight… Yes, I do feel ashamed – but not enough to hide it!

My Brighton highlights

I speak to so many people who say they just love Brighton, a British seaside town with a great mix of people, places and things to do. So for the uninitiated, or those who love to reminisce, here’s my favourite (basically free) things to do from my visit just over a week ago…

Blogging101: Why ‘Let The Stars Out?’

Tasked with editing my title and tagline for the WordPress Blogging101 course, looking at it from a viewer’s perspective, it does need a little explanation…

Blogging101: Who I am and why I’m here

Hello! I’m a 20-something West Londoner, and lover of anything creative, getting out and about, new experiences and learning new things. And a quick disclaimer: I attempt my own photography!!

Colour in Art

I wish the National Gallery had done the ‘Making Colour’ exhibition, the first of its kind in the UK, a good few years ago when I was studying art and design. This excellent curation of the story of colour would have been so useful! In short, the exhibition was great and now it’s closed, so I wanted to share a few interesting things in each room…
