I'm done with dating

Dating is exhausting and I don’t want to do it anymore.

*Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible for my hypocrisy when I inevitably redownload Tinder next week.

Club Tropicana at the Sunderland Empire

When I got offered tickets to see Club Tropicana The Musical I jumped at the chance because not only is my mother a big fan of Joe McElderry but the show describes itself as "the 80s answer to Love Island" and that was more than enough to convince me.

Feeling a little bit lost at 24

I turned 24 nearly two weeks ago and since then my brain keeps sporadically reminding me just how old that is.

Where to go during Sunderland Restaurant Week

The sixth Sunderland Restaurant Week starts on Saturday and runs until Sunday 24th March and if you’re wondering if you should head into the city to check it out, then wonder no more because I’m here to tell you why it’s worth making the trip.

Eight queer films to add to your to-watch list

As you may have guessed from other posts on my blog, I’m a big film fan and this is especially true when it comes to queer cinema. Although my list of films to watch is never shorter than a mile long, if I get wind that a film is gay, then it’s heading straight (no pun intended) to the top of my to-watch list.

As anyone who knows or follows me will know, being bi is something I take great pride in and that’s because it took me a long time to reach that point.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know that last week Netflix released Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes.

It was hard to miss since it has been all anyone was talking about over the weekend and these days,

Do I really need all of the things?

Recently, I’ve got in a really bad habit that I think everyone falls victim to at one time or another.

I can’t stop spending money.

Is the James Charles palette worth the hype?

Meet Margo

If you’re one of the people who used to read my blog, you may have noticed I took a big (unintentional) break last year and barely posted anything throughout 2018. But, it’s a new year, and one of my resolutions is to post once a week so what better time than now to give my favourite little girl, Margo, a proper introduction?

I read 52 books in a year and it was a terrible idea

I actually did it. I read a book a week for a year. Or, at least, I read 52 books over the course of a year, having fallen behind schedule on more than one occasion and needing a real effort to catch up.
