Spotlight: Orange Polar Bear at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre

Hi everyone! I have something a little different today - I wanted to share my experience seeing a play recently. I have always wanted to see more theatre - my Royal Shakespeare Company discount card and loyalty card remain unused at the moment! This was a short-notice event for me but I don't regret a…

[Makeup and Chatter] Back at University

Hi everyone! Just like that, the summer is gone. My new timetable is here, the new academic year is well on its way and for the third year in a row, I have not blogged almost all summer. I spent most of it at work and playing games... I didn't actually wear that much makeup…

[Makeup and Chatter] Lunch at The Botanist

I don't know about you, but I'm really enjoying this unintentional 'Makeup and Chatter' series. I get to talk about a good day with nice memories at a place I haven't been to before, as well as share a makeup look. Oftentimes posts with only the former don't do so well but I really do enjoy…

[Makeup and Chatter] Paramore in Birmingham

Despite the makeup I have, I don't do a base and eyes all that often. A full face is reserved only for special days, like a concert. I took out a lot of items I hadn't been using for a while and got to play around with my look a bit. Today's chatter / extra…

Cafe Visits: Javalounge

Aside from all those good resolutions for the sake of being a better person (more on that later this month), one of them is to visit more cafes. Especially local ones that can't really be found anywhere else. It seems a bit pricier than my usual Tesco's £3 meal deal (that I'll never give up,…

My Experience at TEDxBrum 2017

Many of you will know what a TED talk is - a presentation of inspiring ideas and concepts by people from all sorts of fields. We watched many via Youtube whilst I was at school. TED is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to sharing great ideas, and has spread worldwide in their commitment to this. The…

My Experience at G-Dragon’s ‘Act III: MOTTE’ Tour in Birmingham

I may have recounted this story a number of times, but I got into K-pop because a family friend spent her gap year in Korea and came back with a K-pop mix on a CD, full of Bigbang and SHINee's old hits and Lee Hyori's U Go Girl. We played it when her mom picked…

Places: Paradice Gelateria, Harbourne High Street

I've never done a review of a place before so this is interesting! One evening, J and Q were discussing a nice place to go eat ice cream when I realised that I, too, also had free time to go try some of this good stuff! So off we went. Paradice Gelateria on Harbourne High Street…

Workshop with Penguin Random House!

Hi everyone! So, as I'm typing, I've been home for a few hours now and I'm currently chowing down my Penguin-branded M&Ms and rearranging my haul of freebies (I love you, Penguin <3) to take some 'instagrammable' photos. It's as much a word as 'discoverability'. Penguin Random House held a workshop 'Job Hack' day for…

Inktober Weekly Round Up #1: Days 1-10

I may have mentioned in passing that I'm taking part in Inktober 2015, which is a social media hashtag project thing in which artists everywhere draw an ink piece once a day. This could be a doodle or a huge thing depending on time constraints, and in biro, india ink, pen or brush, whatever, but…
