We’re finally back from our trip to the Caribbean. To say I’m happy about this would be a gross understatement. General rules of hygiene are the only things stopping me from kissing the streets of London. I’ve never been so stoked to see the place. I have so many stories to tell from the last…
I decided on the first day of this year that it was time to start dating London. Nothing too serious. We’re just testing the waters, to see if there’s any potential for something more. You see, London is a bit sick of me sitting around my house in my pyjamas until one in the afternoon…
I made a decision during the first few hours of New Years Day – that being to make more of an effort to live more mindfully. It’s a super wanky word, yet so relevant at the same time. So yes, I’m going all Power of Now on you. What better way to do so than…

Five years in…

Over the weekend I had the opportunity (read: forced my boyfriend to accompany me) to visit a small cul-de-sac in Kentish Town – “Little Green Street”.
