    Temple Spa product launch at The Bluewater Spa

    October 12, 2018 /

    The Bluewater Spa, part of Bournemouth’s 4-star Connaught Hotel, recently hosted a party to celebrate the launch of its Temple Spa product range. We were welcomed with a glass of Prosecco, and enjoyed a lovely evening of canapés, live music, and a tour of the gorgeous spa facilities. Can I move into this relaxation room please?! One of the treatment rooms. We were given samples of some of the Temple Spa products to try, and I’m in love – they feel wonderfully luxurious, and smell gorgeous. The spa itself it beautiful, and I’ve already bookmarked some pages of the brochure, which I’ve left out strategically for Dave to find before…

    Why I’m happy to be a liberal snowflake

    September 11, 2018 /

    It’s beyond frustrating that things like empathy, tolerance, manners and kindness are what get you branded a ‘snowflake’, ‘SJW’, or some other snide description. How about, instead of laughing at someone, take a minute to understand why they’re offended? I’m not saying I’m perfect (by any means!), but I’m learning as I go. While we’re on it, can we also please stop using ‘liberal’ as an insult. Wanting equality, and respecting others, doesn’t make us ‘whiny pussies’. Times are changing and we need to change with them. We need to listen to survivors, victims and minorities, and learn how to be better. Being open-minded and accepting of others takes nothing…

    Book launch invitations with Paperless Post

    August 31, 2018 /

    The lovely people at Paperless Post very kindly reached out to me and offered me some free credits to use their online invitation and guestlist service. With my book coming out soon, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to create some snazzy launch party invitations. With so many lovely designs to choose from, it was a tough decision, but I settled on something fun, bright and colourful. You get to customise everything and the website is super user-friendly. I’m so happy with the finished design, and the whole process took hardly any time at all. It’s really easy to manage your guestlist and keep track of who’s RSVP’d.…

    Time & Time Again Theatre Company presents Greyhounds, by Laura Crow

    July 3, 2018 /

    Laura Crow, 24, has suffered from OCD since she was 15. At her worst, she was consumed by a compulsive need to check locks and turn lights off, which left her unable to leave the house. Writing Greyhounds helped distract her from the debilitating effects of her illness, and she found herself writing mostly in the early hours of the morning – when her OCD was at its worst. “It distracted me from the compulsive thoughts and rituals that become so bad in the evenings,” Laura says. “I’ve always felt drawn to the past, epspecially the 1940s and soon I’d developed a whole set of characters and a story that…

    The 10 gymnasts I can’t stop watching

    June 3, 2018 /

    Before you start, I just want to apologise for the videos not being embedded – WordPress was having none of it for some reason. All the screenshots below are clickable, and will open YouTube in another window. Georgia ‘No Grips’ Dabritz NCAA champion gymnast Georgia is a joy to watch on bars. What makes her all the more impressive is that she never wears grips – hence the nickname! Beth Tweddle Who can forget her incredible performance on the uneven bars at the 2012 London Olympics? While I don’t find her routine as enjoyable to watch as others that are more fluid and flowing, the level of technical difficulty she…
