Supporting Small Businesses Safely
Whilst the enforced closures of theatres, cafes, pubs and other venues is a welcomed step in the right direction to getting us through Covid-19, the decision has left businesses and those that support them looking for ways to adapt.
As someone who is taking social distancing seriously *click here for previous post*, I am aware that many shops and venues will struggle to cope with closures andā¦

How To Keep Busy In Isolation
Okay, so itās been about three days since my place of work was closed for the forseeable future. At this point it feels a lot closer to three weeks. The days have all blended into one and weekends are but a social construct that fail to exist in this modern world!
Basically, Iām hopeful but deluded. I donāt think itās quite hit me yet that this is just the start of a minimum, 6 week āholidayā. Iā¦

Why It's Time To Start Social Distancing.
Why Itās Time To Start Social Distancing.
Over the last week, life in London has been pretty much thrown into turmoil. We are living in unprecedented times and there seems to be a lot of confusion as to where we go next. Whilst I donāt have all the answers, I have made the conscious decision to take part in social distancing and hereās why you should tooā¦

The Truth About Universal Credit
The Truth About UniversalĀ Credit
Having spent several years working in retail management, last year I found myself at a crossroads. Wanting to move back to London from Bristol, I accepted a role in a Surrey based branch. Without going into loads of detail, three months in I had reached my limits. I knew I had to quit, but with nothing lined up, I was taking a risk.
Sometimes, for your own mental wellbeing you have to take a stepā¦

What I learnt from posting every day for aĀ week
If youāre up to date with my most recent posts, youāll know that I set myself a goal to upload content every day for one week. Iām pretty proud of myself for managing to stick to it! Hereās how it wentā¦
Previously Iāve been somewhat inconsistent with blogging, a wave of inspiration every few months passing quickly by. Setting this goal gave me the kick I needed to dig a little deeper for contentā¦

Theatre Etiquette
As a fan of theatre, I was pretty shocked when this article landed in my inbox the other day. With reports that Ushers are being fitted with security cameras in an attempt to deter angry theatre goers, it got me thinking about general theatre etiquette. So letās take this journey together on how to behave at the theatreā¦

Why are we so afraid to die?
Why are we so afraid toĀ die?
I wonāt lie, Iāve kind of gone down the clickbait route with this blog post. After admitting to writerās block yesterday, I felt Iād better come back with something a little more interesting.
This may sound strange to some of you but I have a funeral playlist saved to my Spotify account. Obviously Iād like to hope that this wonāt be played for many years to come but itās always good to beā¦

Writerās Block
In case you hadnāt realised, I have been attempting to post content every day this week. I spent today trying and failing to write several different posts and couldnāt seem to complete any of them.
So in the end, I decided to write this one. Basically, Iām cheating my way into being able to say that Iāve posted every day for a week. I felt this was the only way to really get myself back intoā¦

Lust List: The SkinĀ Edition
So I know my posts recently have been a bit mixed in terms of content but I thought Iād get back to a bit of beauty today. Recently, Iāve been making a more conscious effort to use up my current products before buying new ones. Of course there are a few exceptions, but for the most part Iāve been pretty good at āshopping my stashā.
Whenever I discover a new product that Iād like to try, I add itā¦

Boots First Feel GoodĀ Session
Last week I was lucky enough to win a ticket to the first ever Boots Feel Good Session thanks to an Instagram competition ran by the wonderful Megan Jayne Crabbe *bodyposipanda*.
Upon arrival I was greeted by some lovely ladies who pointed me in the direction of a wall of positive quotes. I grabbed one of these in exchange for a free drink at the bar and readied myself to take part in a Body &ā¦

Why You Should Filter Your Feed
New post is all about how you use your social media. Why You Should Filter Your Feed
Something Iāve become increasingly aware of over the last couple of years is the need to filter the media we expose ourselves to. For me, this began with making a connection between the television I consumed and my overall mood.
I spent years as a self-confessed Soap Queen. Eastenders was my vibe and I lived for the Christmas Day tragedies. Nowadays though, the thought of sitting through anā¦

The Wish List Revisited
The Wish ListĀ Revisited
In this previous post, I listed out fifteen theatre shows I wanted to see in 2019. Now that we are half way through the year, it seems a fitting time to revisit the list!
I should begin by saying, since writing that post, I have actually taken on a job working at a theatre and in doing so, have limited my availability to Wednesday matinees and Sunday shows. Not particularly helpful when trying toā¦

Going It Alone
To some, the thought of going to the Cinema alone seems proposterus. To me, itās therapy.
A few years ago I decided that I wanted to be able to enjoy my own company in public, the only thing left on my checklist is having the balls to walk into a restaurant and ask for a table for one (not there yet). I set myself this goal to shake the social anxiety that comes with needing to have people aroundā¦

The 2019 Wish List
The 2019 WishĀ List
Last year was a good year for me in terms of getting to the theatre. I made the most of cheap deals and daily lotteries to see the likes of Heathers and Hamilton. This year, Iām hoping for more of the same with a few extra plays thrown in! Fifteen feels like a lot at the moment but no doubt this list will continue to grow and change.
So here is it is, my 2019 wish listā¦

Caroline, or Change
Having seen Company the previous night, I had everything crossed that Caroline,or Change would come through for me and it certainly did.
I knew two things going into the Playhouse Theatre.
1.) Graham Norton had tweeted:
2.) There was going to be a singing washing machineā¦
Now, in my mind a singing washing machine evoked an image of a person with a painted up cardboard box flung over their head.ā¦

Parting Company
I must admit, Iām slightly afraid to post this one.
As a Disclaimer, if youāre thinking Iām going to be bashing any specific names in the next few hundred words, Iām not. The individuals involved in this show were all extremely talented and more than worthy of their place on a West End stage.
I am however going to have to say itā¦Iām Sophie and I hated Company!
I hated Company so much that I leftā¦

Cheap Tickets For the WestĀ End!
January in the West End means cheap tickets. There are very few opportunities to bag yourself a ten pound ticket to Phantom or Les Mis but when the country is low on money, the seats still want selling!
