Journal, My Novel, Writing2 Comments on “You looked nervous!” “It was my first time being a squirrel!?”
Nutty introduction, right? Don’t worry, I’ll fill you in later. Tonight’s entry is going to be all about my rollercoaster emotions when it comes to jobs, the highs, the lows, the in-betweens and the alien-like times where I’ve felt confident and proud in what I’ve brought to the world of work. A few months back, […]

The storm has not passed, but at least there’s colour in the clouds
It’s been a hard month, a really hard month, and I know, with 100% certainty, that the emotions will keep whirling inside me for a long time. On a later post, I’ll actually be in more of a state to share what’s happened. For now, getting out my feelings on here will have to do. […]

How I went from a clothes hater …. to a fashion fanatic
I was never into clothes for years, and honestly, my poor Mum would despair. She would always tell me that I should care about what I look like, not just for my sake, but for other people. I didn’t listen. Why should I? I was happy being who I was, and that was an individual […]

Journal2 Comments on It’s not just raining inside my head, it’s a f****** storm, and everything is flying at me….

Drama and Music, Writing2 Comments on Are Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy emails the new fanfiction fad? Well, it’s definitely mine!
In the summer of 2004, I sent an email as Harry Potter. My friend replied, as Draco Malfoy. A little down the line, we put the emailing behind us. She had her life. I had mine. It was a cluttered time, filled with school, homework, family. The years moved on, but I had never forgotten […]

Style0 Comment on My 1920s – 1960s haircut, starring my vintage bob! (and I’m not talking about my Dad….)
Recently, my mood has fluctuated day-to-day, but one thing never changed….. I was so excited for a new haircut, a past-eras happy haircut. Today was the day. I’d found some pictures of who I wanted to look like, including The Marvellous Maisel, and Keira Knightley from The Imitation Game….. Over the years, for personal reasons, […]

“Fairy Liquid should be a perfume!” said nobody in the world ever (unless you’re called Rachel Brooker)
Journal, Uncategorized2 Comments on “Fairy Liquid should be a perfume!” said nobody in the world ever (unless you’re called Rachel Brooker)
I’ve always thought washing up liquid should be a fragrance they sell in shops. …. I’ve also always thought I should walk into ‘Dragons Den,’ pitching the idea.…. Needless to say? Those two events never happened, and when I told most of my friends about these ideas, they would look at me like I’d just […]

Falling down the Rabbit Hole
Hello, guys. It’s been a week since my life turned upside down, inside out, and fallen down the rabbit hole into a matrix-like reality. Again, this is not a portal in which I am going to explain what’s happened, but I will be voicing my thoughts in terms of metaphor. Why have I chosen The […]
