Last weekend my family and I made our annual trip to Olympia for London Film and Comic Con 2019. It’s always one of highlights of the convention calendar for me and this year marks our tenth year of attending! I can’t quite believe I’ve been going to conventions for a over decade now (my first was Dalek Invasion back in 2008). London Film and Comic Con 2019 was set to…

What’s in my bag? – Comic con edition
With comic con season in full swing, I thought now would be the perfect time to share what essentials I pack in my day bag. This is for a 3-day weekend convention and based on what I brought with me to London Film and Comic Con this past weekend (full write up on that to follow!). Ticket – Many conventions organisers now accept an e-ticket and some even have their…

Why Taking a Break Is Important
You may have noticed I’ve been absent on Twitter recently, or that my last two posts were further apart than my usual posting schedule. In short – I took a break; an unintentional one to be honest, but essentially, “life happened”. Social commitments piled up and I became sick with a stomach bug, followed by a mild case of hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood). Which is often seen…

Running Tips for Beginners
Running can be a great form of cardio but it certainly isn’t easy, especially for a beginner. When I first started my running journey I could barely run 1K without stopping. I was out of breath, wearing my cotton jogging bottoms, an old tired sports bar and, what I like to call, “fashion trainers”. Suffice to say, I quickly learnt the value of a good workout outfit and proper running…

The TV Show Tag

I first found this tag on stars and sprinkles blog, so make sure you check out her answers. If you want to do this one yourself, consider yourself tagged. 😊 The TV Show Tag Favourite shows?…

Tank Fest 2019
This past weekend my parents, Aaron and I headed down to the Bovington Tank Museum (near Weymouth), for their annual Tank Fest event, where we had the great opportunity to learn a little more about military history. With a day full of displays, armoured vehicles and reenactments. If there’s one thing Tank Fest excels at it’s the arena displays which are always the highlight of the day for me. Even…

Getting your tragus pierced
I’ve had my tragus pierced since I was 19 (so roughly 11 years ago now), and I still have people ask questions about it. Especially this time of year when I wear my hair up or pulled back so my ears are showing! They’ll ask when I got it done and where, whether it hurt and how to take care of it., so I thought I’d talk about my experience…

Sunshine Blogger Award Revisited
Last month the lovely Victoria of The Weight of my Worlds nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award. I’ve been following her blog for a while and love reading her posts, especially her ones on self confidence and personal style. Make sure you check out her answers here. 😊 This is actually my second nomination but what I love about this award is, the questions are always different, as they’re…

Party planning for any occassion *
AD | At my 9-5 job I’m part of an associate engagement team, and one of our main responsibilities is planning social events for our staff. But to be honest, that’s not where my love of party planning first began. Credit has to go to my dad here for all the Halloween party planning we did when I was little. Along with many themed movie nights (like Star Wars day).…
