Easter. Easter. It’s such a weird holiday. I guess it’s a second Christmas? Like, a spring-time Christmas with eggs instead of presents? I’ve never really celebrated it before, maybe because my family isn’t religious, besides what my mum thinks, and that it was never a massive event on our calendar. Just a time for a … More Easter Eggs and Birthday Cake
Today I am getting my haircut. For most people I know that isn’t a major thing, heck, they get it done every six weeks or so. The difference between those people and me though is that they LIKE sitting in a plastic chair and staring at their face in the mirror. They LIKE having someone … More Haircut
At 23 years old I am ashamed to admit that I am never really ever home alone. I feel that this is a sort of weird thing to admit, but bear with me.

I freaking love books though, don’t get me wrong. I love them so much I’m banned from going into Waterstones by my fiancée. He … More Sunday Reading
One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to read more. I love books, always have and probably always will. I’m an English Literature Graduate and a current Creative Writing MA student so I’m pretty used to reading books quickly searching for points to make in class. That’s all fine and dandy for Uni. work, but … More 2017 Reading Challenge
January is always that one month that goes by unnoticed, almost. I say ‘almost’ in the most haphazard of ways, as obviously stuff happened and I lived through it, but when it came to writing this post, I struggled to think of what I’d actually done, PHYSICALLY done, this month. You know, like the things … More January 2017
