Finishing off my thoughts on Eurovision this year, I wanted to share my top six entries and my reflections after the final!

I am a BIG fan of Eurovision, and below I detail my before-the-final-show thoughts on each entry (not just the ones that made it to the final!).

My mum is like my best friend, and thinking about that a lot recently has made me want to explain exactly why she is such an inspiration to me.

I wanted to share my other resolutions for the year, as well as the ones I’ve achieved so far!

This is the second year I managed to achieve my New Years Resolution of reading 52 books, something I am very proud of!

I went to see the new Barbie movie (my second time going to the cinema in about a decade!!!), and I had THOUGHTS. So I decided to write a review.

I had some positive thoughts a few days ago, and I wanted to share them. I’ve been feeling a lot of regret, but after a lot of thinking, I keep telling myself this little thing I thought up: ‘YOU ARE RUNNING YOUR OWN RACE’.

I thought it’d be fun to share my thoughts on the Eurovision Song Contest of 2023, hosted in Liverpool.

In recent years, a new caricature has been added to society’s ‘roles for women’. Alongside ‘delicate flower’, and ‘loud RELATEABLE tomboy’, sits ‘power woman’.

I want to talk about the saviour narrative, and ‘delicate girl’ image, because they’ve affected my confidence, my identity, and my desire to be attractive.

Recently I listened to a podcast, which is something that, due to struggling to concentrate, I haven’t been able to do for a long time. It was all about koalas..

It’s nearly the end of January, and I’m sorry I’ve been so absent. I’m still in hospital, but I’m trying to think of positives, and set goals…

For the first time ever, I achieved my New Years Resolution of reading 52 books! It was a fun challenge, and so I thought I’d share the 52 books I read.

This is just a quick post really, to talk about how I’m feeling at the moment, as we come to the end of 2022.

I’ve been working through my annual Christmas Food Haul, although this year is the smallest yet (trying to be less extravagant and more careful), and thought I should share the cereal reviews

It was my birthday last week. I’m 24. I feel like a lot has changed in the last year. And I guess it has. I’m feeling quite shaky in my identity right now…something that I imagine many people experience when it gets to a ‘celebration’ of 12 months of your life passing by. And so I decided to make a list of the main things that have happened, and how I’ve changed.

This wonderful procrastination escapade led me to discover two brilliant films, which I decided to share with you today: What’s Your Number, a 2011 American romcom starring Anna Faris and Chris Evans, and Last Holiday, which was released in 2006 and stars Queen Latifah!

I’ve had some very fun conversations with friends this week so I thought I would share some of the ‘mini epiphany’ thoughts that had formed in my mind.

Upon researching the Philippines, I discovered that the most common utensils are a spoon and fork, with knives being much rarer, and chopsticks really only used for specifically oriental meals. And true – this definitely matches the way my dad ate when I would spend weekends at his house, throughout my childhood. This made me wonder – why?

I like to try and set goals for myself, to help me feel like I’m not just letting life pass me by. It’s a new month – so I think it’s time for some new goals!

Last week, Sainsburys released a new cereal to replace the limited edition Mini Cinnamon Rolls that came out back in January this year. Naturally, I HAD to try it – particularly as it’s not common for UK cereals to release limited edition or seasonal flavours. Shreddies, Coco Pops, Shredded Wheat and Weetabix are a few … Read moreCereal Reviews: Sainsburys Mini Jam Croissants

Today I went on a very short morning walk, in the cold crisp air (it’s Autumn), with the sunlight just breaking through from behind the clouds. It was kind of the best weather for reflecting, y’know? Cold enough to set your mind racing and your legs moving, but not so cold you can’t focus your … Read moreReflecting on ‘Supermarket Flowers’
