I Bought [this] from [here] because of [them]

Speaking to a fair few store owners and creators everyone has a different view on bloggers and how useful they are to getting the brand out there and whether they truly result in additional sales. Let me say right off the bat I think they are vital...but then I would say that wouldn't I, I'm [...]

Let the Music Play… What do you like to Hear?

Let the Music Play… What do you like to Hear?

I was chatting with my friend Sady the other day about the music I play at my DJ sets and it got me thinking about how to get the right balance for the audience at my sets. This isn't about what genre of music you play, though for the record, my preference is for alternative [...]

If I Knew Then What I Know Now

If I Knew Then What I Know Now

I was reminded while watching a TV programme a few days ago how our mind absorbs knowledge and how our memory reacts to that knowledge once it's embedded in our brains. A year ago I started a new job in real part of which is being a Medical Secretary to a group of consultants in [...]

All Around Me are Familiar Faces

My sister and I are like chalk and cheese. There is a 7, almost 8, year age gap between us and the circumstances we were brought up in were very different.

I woke up just 10 mins ago with the Golden Earring classic "Twilight Zone" in my head. Specifically: Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned The lyrics are a little different in my head with 'twilight' being replaced by the word 'friendship' . I guess it's [...]

Knowing Me, Knowing You…uhuh!

Knowing Me, Knowing You…uhuh!

I'm fairly confident that my real personality comes across to people that know me. I certainly hope so because I do kinda like the person that I am. I'm not perfect, none of us are but I think I'm generally a nice person. I like to support other people and see them flourish and I [...]

If You Think You Can, or You Think You Can’t, You’re Right

Henry Ford's phrase "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right." has been at the top of my mind this morning as I watch the overnight news from the Rio Paralympics. Dame Sarah Storey becomes the first female British paralympian to win 12 gold medals as [...]
