I am so fortunate to know so many incredible women from so many walks of life. Some of you are businesswomen, running your own companies and building your own empires, and I'm so proud to be one of you. We are changing the face of our industries, and I can't wait to see what we've all … Continue reading A letter to all the women in my life
Lately, I seem to have been suffering from a major confidence crisis. It feels like I'm going round in ever-decreasing vicious circles of not being able to finish things, which doesn't help with the whole confidence thing, which gives me less motivation to finish things, which doesn't help with the confidence...you get the point. Circles. Decreasing. … Continue reading Self-Employed Problems.
Some holidays are meant for sightseeing, but last weekend was all about seeing friends and just switching off from the outside world for a little bit. Myself, Izzy and Cat have been friends for a good 6 years or so, but amazingly the three of us have never all been in the same place at the same … Continue reading A weekend in Paris
I haven't been on my personal twitter since the 12th January, and for me that's a very long time. In the grand scheme of things, my personal twitter is pretty insignificant. I have 1000-odd followers - a mix of friends (old, new and former), ex-colleagues, people I've met along the way...and a good handful of … Continue reading Getting the heck off Twitter

Ooh, brace yourself. I think this is my most personal (and long-winded) post yet. I used to channel my emotions and feelings into music. Something bothering me? Turn it into a tune. Something making me angry? Take it out on the piano. Feeling sad? Write it into some harmonies. Play some Debussy. Improvise something. This was … Continue reading Emotion dump // music.
Usually, Facebook memories just reminds me of regrettable hairstyles (blonde was not my colour...), embarrassing statuses and friends I haven't spoken to in years. Today, it's reminded me of something very, very different - a quite spectacular bit of procrastination from my final year of my undergraduate degree. (Though I say so myself) So for those … Continue reading 30 Reasons Not To Hand In A Bibliography
If quitting my job has provided me with anything, it's thinking space. And if thinking space has provided me with anything, it's a list of things that I've considered since quitting my job - from the ones that are quite likely to happen (Odeon card, ear piercing) to those that are...slightly less likely (Brighton, Birmingham). … Continue reading A selection of things I’ve considered since quitting my job
Almost exactly two months ago, I handed in my notice at work, taking something of a leap of faith. Taking risks has never been my strength, but my time at my former job was bookended by just that. I was initially rejected for the job, but took the risk of calling and telling them they were … Continue reading On taking risks
