I went up to London with a family friend Julie last Friday, with the only agenda being to see the poppies at the Tower of London and to have afternoon tea. Not such a bad plan really. You might remember that I went to see the poppies before, when I first got here (see here)…

Model For Murder – DS Nelson | Book Review*
I love murder mystery – whether it’s a book, a TV series or a movie, I love the suspense and the build up towards finding out exactly who the murderer is. Now, as a seasoned reader of murder mystery I consider myself pretty good at figuring out who the killer is before it’s revealed to…
The Most Astonishing Hand Cream Ever? | Soap&Glory Mini Review
Okay I love Soap & Glory anyway, because they have the cutest packaging, and the best names for all their products – eg. Sexy Motherpucker lipgloss, who can say no? Secondly, I love them because they have the only liquid liner pen that I’ve ever been able to use without epically failing and smudging black…
Science Museum, Glass Bridges and Bubbles
On Wednesday I went up to London again, and took a look around the Science Museum. I always loved the museum when my sister and I used to go with my dad when we were little. It used to have the most amazing earthquake room, where they recreated the effects of an earthquake on a…
Meeting South African’s, Statues and Platform 9 3/4
On Tuesday I took a trip up to London again, because I was itching for something to do. I decided to check out the British Museum and British Library – the Library because I’d read about an awesome gothic/halloween exhibition. Unfortunately this exhibition turned out costing some ridiculous amount to go into and I had…
Make Up Revolution What You Waiting For? Eyeshadow | Mini Review
So,weird story, I forgot that Superdrug existed. I completely forgot that there ever was a shop called Superdrug, until I went up to Harrow looking for that second box of hair dye when I was attempting hair transformation and I was looking for the second bigger Boots in the area, and then suddenly there was Superdrug….
NaNoWriMo 2014
Today I want to talk about something that I really love. This is one of those things that you can just ramble on about for paragraphs and so I’ll try and keep it short. I stumbled across NaNoWriMo two years ago by accident, I don’t actually even remember how, but ever since then I’ve been…
Penfolds Event | Quick Update
On Thursday I had the opportunity to work at an event for Penfolds, which was their customer launch event for their new vintages. I just wanted to say something about how much work when in behind the scenes, because it was crazy! I was really excited to take part, because I had been there when we were scouting…
Rimmel Pop Art! Nail TopCoat | Mini Review
I was browsing the aisles of Boots with no real purpose the other day – I think I was waiting for my grandmother to buy a coat or something – when I noticed this little bottle on the shelves and I sort of kind of had to try it out. To be honest I mainly…
Hair Raising Adventures ft. Bleach London
So I have never done anything to my hair before – well nothing drastic, I do wash it, I promise. I’ve always wanted to do something, like dye it a crazy colour, or cut it into a weird style or something, but I’d never really had the courage to actually do anything before. Before that…
On My Way To Work
On one of the morning at my work placement last week I had to take a parcel up to Farringdon before work, and on the way to the office I was struck by what a beautiful day it was – it rained the rest of the day, but for that half an hour it was beautiful,…
Autumn/Winter| Pinterest
It’s becoming winter. And I don’t say that in a dejected, droopy, “it’s winter” kind of way. I say that with one of those smiles that you can feel on the inside, because I love winter. It might be brightening up in South Africa, but here the trees are becoming orange and red, and the wind…
Learning Curve
During my three weeks at a PR company, I learnt a lot – and I mean a lot. I got the opportunity to do some work for many companies in all different sectors and I learnt a lot about what goes on behind the scenes. I learnt that when someone asks your to mount some…
Emptying my Bag Out | Intern Edition
Continuing on my Emptying Out My Bag series, this is what I’ve been lugging around with me to London every day at my work placement, which ends today! I can’t believe that it’s been three whole weeks since I started there because it feels like I’ve only been there a couple of days. This is…
Mini Review | Aussie Miracle
I mentioned in an older post that I was loving being in a country where Aussie Miracle doesn’t cost a fortune, but I am also loving being in a country where I have a choice of a variety of different treatments by them. I don’t think that I’ve mentioned anything about my hair before, but…
Lyla Loves Bracelet *
The other day I recieved such a lovely suprise in the post. A bracelet from Lyla Loves, an online jewelley store, which I heard about on The Blogger Programme. I realised that I hadn’t spoken about either of them on here before, so I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to talk about…
Shoreditch Street Art Tour | Platform 39 | Part Two
27 September Part two! – These works are mainly the ones that I saw that weren’t talked about on the tour, so I don’t have much backstory for these guys – just some opinions, and some beautiful art. In case you didn’t see it, this tour is explained in my previous post which you find…
Shoreditch Street Art Tour | Platform 39 | Part One
27 September Oh, look, another story spread over multiple posts, what a surprise. But seriously, this time I really tried to cut down the amount of photos, and this really is barely a quarter of the photos that I actually took. So be appreciative. Anyway, I went to a Street Art walking tour/course in Shoreditch…
Mini Review | Hesitant Alien – Gerard Way
If you’d been here for a while you might remember me raving about Gerard Way in my Reading Festival post from Day One and how it was a defining moment in my life etc etc. Well, his album Hesitant Alien was released on the 29th of September and because of the amazing notion of preordering on…
