Do as the Romans Do When you Travel to Rome

This is a collaborative post. Anyone privileged enough to have made my acquaintance knows that I’m not one to pay much attention to the normal way to do things. If anything, I’d say learn the rules by all means, but only for research purposes on how best to break them in new and interesting ways. And that goes for travel, too. Think of any major…

Plan the Ultimate Trip to Asia

This is a collaborative post. It’s no secret about how much I want to travel to Asia. It’s just got so much history, incredible foods I need to try and I long to learn about their cultures. I’ve spoken on here before about my want to travel to Singapore and Japan this year, but alas with being freelance and wanting to buy a house as…

The Best Technology over the Past Twenty Years

Since getting my first mobile phone just under twenty years ago, technology has come on with such leaps and bounds that ten years old me with her Nokia 5110 and Tigger phone case would never have imagined that at almost thirty years old I could work from home on her sofa with…

Nino by Night; the Home of Italian Food in Hornchurch

Just over twenty years ago, we used to spend most weekends with friends in a restaurant called Nino’s in Upminster. Whenever I had a sleepover with school friends I’d send Dad down to Nino’s to pick up a stack of pizzas and some zucchini; we never ordered from fast food chains. If it was my birthday, I’d want to eat at Nino’s and I can’t…

Breaking the Boundaries on the Runway; the Rise of Diversity in Models

This is a collaborative post. When the SS18 fashions hit the runways last year, thousands of people were amazed to see just how diverse the models were. In fact, it was found to be the most diverse yet; there was a record 93 plus-size/curve model making appearances and 45 transgender castings. Not only was there diversity in shapes and sizes, but there were also 27…
