Today has been a stressful one so far. First off, I didn’t sleep well and forgot I needed to wash my hair and got up too late so it’s really greasy. I then realised I had a cold and felt crappy. Then I missed my train because the ticket man was so slow then the tube was overcrowded so I [...]

Behind the Mask
Beauty & The Beast, a documentary shown last night on C4, showed two people struggling with their looks trying to understand each other’s worlds. Photo below: Liam was 60 yr old man who was badly burnt as a child and has struggled with scars all his life. As a result, he was against cosmetic surgery. Yasmin was [...]

Walk a Mile in Someone’s Shoes
Today I am wearing new shoes (black leather lace up boots) and they REALLY hurt. Walking through London trying to smile through the pain, I was thinking about the saying “walk a mile in someone’s shoes” – that you can’t really know what someone’s life is like unless you experience it for yourself. I got a snapshot of two very different viewpoints yesterday from women in [...]

Chasing Destiny
This week I’m thinking about destiny. When I was younger I believed in destiny – that there was a thing called fate that would lead you on the path of life you meant to travel down. That you’re dreams would come true. I suppose I naively thought life would be easy and I’d get everything I wanted. When you get older and have more experience of life, I [...]

Where did you have it last?
This morning my mum couldn’t find her reading glasses despite reading until late last night in bed. She mentioned that she knocked over her bedside lamp and I suggested the glasses could have fallen off with it but she said she had looked and pulled her bed out and was going crazy wondering where they could be! On [...]

Proud to be Gen Y
This week I went to a seminar on Generation Y. The girl speaking said that 18 – 30 yrs olds are classed as Gen Y and we have some interesting characteristics. Part of our pop culture is Pokemen - remember them?!! My fave was Pikachu above A big part of being Gen Y is embracing technology – [...]

The grass is yellow on the other side
This week I’ve been thinking about relationships and how so many people wish for things they don’t have or what others have. Perhaps thinking the grass is greener on the other side but is it really? To help me share my thoughts on the subject, I turn to Jane Austen who wrote my fave book Pride and [...]

The soundtrack to my life
Happy Friday everyone! I watched American Idol last night and it got me thinking about songs that have touched my life somehow and when that happens even if I hear them now, I still think back to that moment and remember how they first made me feel. So here’s my list of songs that stand out to me today [...]

The Intrigue of Immortality
As you can tell from reading my blog, I love all things supernatural and have an at times unhealthy love of vampire related things (meaning books, films, not fake fangs or something!) and when you deal with vamps you deal with immortality. Extract from Emily Dickenson’s Because I Could Not Stop For Death: Because I could not [...]
