Things I’m looking forward to

I have a lot of exciting things ahead of me, and I wanted to share them in this post! I remember doing one of these years ago and it was lovely and super fun, so why not bring it back? Let's get hyped. August There's only a few days left of August, but I still…

Overcome: How To Be Your Best Traveller (in the face of motion sickness)

It's no secret that I love to travel. Anytime, any place, anywhere... so long as it's accessible enough. Advanced planning (even in spontaneous situations) aids me with the travelling a lot but there's still one thing that I know will get me every time... Travel sickness. Travel sickness, in fact, has always been in my…

My 2018: What I’m looking forward to

From the bottom of my heart I can tell you this: I don't know if 2018 is going to be a good year. Heck, 2017 was hell so I haven't got my hopes up. However, I have already got a few landmark events which I know are going to be wonderful. They truly are what,…

Travelling light, travelling right.

By travelling light, I do not mean bagless. Heck, I am the worst at packing and if you saw my lugging my bags around, you'd think I was trying to move in. By 'light', I mean freely. Without condition. Spontaneously. I've always loved travel, but recently my etching for it has rocketed. I love to…

A night at the illuminations

"Have you been anywhere exotic recently?" "Blackpool?" "Not quite what I meant, but I guess it is to some!" The above is a little encounter I had whilst stuck in hospital upon my last admission. I was in a hospital in Scotland mid holiday, and the nurse was just trying to keep the feel light,…

The Smile (a poem by Lauren Curr)

"Is it alright if I sit here?" A voice deeper than some chirped, It must've where she's from and She smiled the night away. Her make up glowing from her cheeks, Her facial bones a silver line, But what was dazzling is eau natural, It's her radiant beaming smile. Lips made up with raspberry-red, Glitter…

The Yarn bombing project: Mental Health Awareness day

As a Scottish girl, nothing fills me with more pride than going home. I've only been back in Renfrewshire's sweet little town of Paisley twice this year, a shocking 1/4 of the amount of times my dad has. It's pretty gutting, too, that I lost my accent a long time ago- 13 years, maybe, but…

Life as a commuter

'Commuting' is not an art i'm used to, nor have perfected. I guess living no more than 15  minutes from work walking means I never truly have commuted, unless you count my periodic trips into London for Theatre School and rehearsals a 'commute' (well, I did hit rush hour and have to get up at…

Politics review, Easter 2016.

These past few weeks have given me a strong basis on which I can easily sprout a blog post on, when it comes to politics, not only in the UK, but on an European and Worldwide basis: From a more personal point of view, the week commencing on Monday 14th March gave me many opportunities;…

The road to somewhere.

I believe that we, living in a democratic society, have the power to change what we believe is wrong. Not at all in a tyrannical sense, but more due to the fact that we have been handed democratic opportunity. Some people aren't so lucky or may live under a government exercising different political views which…
