Journalist and editor
Pals, I've been stuck in a rut. With no routine and a fairly stressful deadline not that far away, I've found my mental health receding. Despite the fact I'm on course for a decent mark in my degree and almost at a point where I (hopefully) never have to study ever again - hallelujah! -… Continue reading Finding peace in the kitchen
In April this year I went down to London for a month of work experience in journalism. A required part of my MA course, I went to the capital for two separate placements during which I was privy to the goings-on at the features desks across four women's magazines. As you might expect from being… Continue reading 7 things I learned as a ‘workie’
Hey pals, it's been a while. I wish I had more of an excuse for my absence, but essentially, my MA is ruling my life and the majority of my free time has either been spent binging Peaky Blinders or tackling my Goodreads 2019 challenge. Add to that list a heck ton of sleep, and… Continue reading Masters / Making a mini magazine

His first hit 'Budapest' was a sleeper, slowly but surely becoming one of the most popular songs of 2014, and with his debut album Wanted On Voyage being an unprecedented success, namely for the man… Continue reading Single Review / Don’t Matter Now – George Ezra
Another week, another 1D member’s solo effort. This time, Niall Horan is back a second time round with new single, ‘Slow Hands’, and it’s clear that with this track, Horan is well and truly attempting to shake his seemingly holier-than-thou boyband image. We all know that One Direction were never the most innocent of boybands… Continue reading Single Review: Slow Hands – Niall Horan
