Ping, ping. My phone flashed up with a notification. ‘Saw this, thought of you,’ the DM read. It was accompanied by a meme which completely summed me up. The woman who sent it to me has become a good friend. And yet I’ve never been in the same room as her. On Galentine’s Day - the celebration of female friendship…
Ok, It’s probably about to get controversial, but I don’t think I’m a podcast kind of girl. When it comes to music, listening to curated playlists or live radio I’m all for it, and the chat too. When it comes to podcasts I just can't seem to get into them. Podcast Popularity It seems that within the past year, podcasts…
I wanted to share this experience with you as I know so many people are feeling all the emotions about the vaccination programme and whether we will ever get out of this awful year we have all had. And to be honest, like many of us, I only know a handful of people that have had the vaccine so far…

Following news that Sex and the City spin-off will definitely be happening, ‘I couldn’t help but wonder’ whether it’s a good thing or not. Like so many people on the planet, I’m a SATC superfan. Yep, that’s right. I’ve seen the series eight times, watched both films, bought the books and even did my university dissertation on SATC and its…
Joe Biden is in, Donald Trump is out. How good does it feel to say that out loud?! I avidly watched my TV screen on Wednesday 20th January to watch the Inauguration of Joe Biden and I can honestly say that everybody on my Twitter feed was doing the same. It was honestly the highlight of my 2021 so…
Monday 10th January 2021. We are in lockdown, New Years’ resolutions are a distant memory, and everything seems a bit gloomy… but Sarah Jessica Parker just posted the teaser for Sex and the City: Where are they now? The announcement of this 10 episode series provides the answer to the prayers of SATC fans globally, myself included. During 2020, I…
