The iPhone – 10 Years Later! *

Back in 2007, I headed down to Lakeside, my local shopping centre, with my best friend and we got our first ever iPhones. I remember thinking that it was the best thing ever. I was so glad to see the back of my awful Blackberry and fully embrace the iPhone in all of its glory. It was sleek, super shiny and did things beyond my…

Rocketing down the Thames! *

Last week myself, Kariss and some of the Love Pop Ups London team spent our Friday evening speeding down the Thames at high speeds. This was made possible by the awesome lads from Thames Rockets who had us laughing all the way.

A Letter to 16 Year Old Me

When I look back at the girl I was over ten years ago, I have fond memories of the fun I used to have, the friends that created those memories that have all moved on; some married, some with children, and thrown in there are a few regrets but I believe that they make you a stronger person. I often wonder what I’d say to…

#GoBinge with Three & Netflix *

I’m not usually one of those people that will sit in front of the TV for hours, but when I get into something I do tend to forget that and binge away! I was like this with Stranger Things and with Tudors although we are about 5 years too late with that one! I tend to watch tv shows on the go, like when I…
