Nestled in the heart of East London lies a not so secret 'treasure' known as Skylight, a rooftop bar with impressive panoramic views over London.A quirky East End mash up of 'Urban Lawn Culture' VS. Hipster Shoreditch-ians (yes I made up a word...), Skylight has all the makings of a 'good bar', with a wide selection of cocktails like watermelon mojitos and after work snacks such as falafel, cheesy nachos and tahini drizzled chips, juxtaposed with four croquet courts, that makes you feel like you have wandered into an 'Etonian' boarding school without the pomposity. Instead this 'posh boys' game is made cool, with vibrant drinks, colourful pink and blue walls that would appeal to any maven of ... read more
Why Skylight Is The Perfect Venue For After Work Drinks
An Art Deco Walking Tour And Afternoon Tea At The Dorchester
Twas a Sunday morning when the whole world was sleeping, a young girl adventured forth and made her way into the big city,the sun already high in the sky. Purple and white polka dots, a flash of tanned leg, she waltzed into Green Park with a spring in her step. The others were waiting for her outside the Sheraton Grand Park Lane Hotel, but she took a wrong turn, the long way round that drew her into an opulent world of art deco interiors, where the 'roaring 20's' danced into present day. She scuttled through the main foyer and found the right entrance at last,where the group came together as one, for an adventure in London that they would never forget. They would wander among the vibrant ... read more
My First Coloured Contact Lenses With Vision Direct
She stood in front of the mirror, lips pursed, eyes wide open, hesitancy flitting through her onyx eyes, dreaming of a day where green eyes would peer back at her. She would be a cat, narrowed slits, green eyes, irises dilated in sensual desire, purring in satisfaction. Framed by heavy thick mascara, slightly cloying, she would pace up and down her bedroom floor, a no longer nervous glance into the mirror perched on her wardrobe door, she smiled slightly. For this would be the start of something new, no longer would she be a sheep afraid of the unknown, cowering in the corner while life passed her by. Oh no, she would become someone else, not her alter ego Jasmine, the character she clung ... read more

Mouthwatering Shakshuka At Cafe Loren Camden
In the heart of Camden lies a culinary treasure, tucked away in The Stables Market in an unassuming spot. But despite its 'secretive location' Cafe Loren is a gastronomic delight worth exploring, with its tribute to the Middle Eastern cult classic 'The Shakshuka' , a baked egg dish, lovingly crafted in a kitchen blessed by the 'Food God's ' themselves. But with 'Shakshuka' becoming a buzz word in London's growing gastronomical scene, what is it about Cafe Loren, that makes their 'baked egg creations' a cut above the rest? Well it's simple, like the name 'Cafe' suggests, 'Cafe Loren' is a relaxed 'food hub' where you can relax away from the chaotic crowds that chatter excitingly among ... read more
4 Vegan Smoothies You Need To Try This Summer
The sun is rising and the temperatures are heating up; summer is officially here and its about bloody time. Gone are the days shivering in the freakish hailstorms and grayish rain and instead we open our doors to the blaze of the summer sun, tickling our limbs and coaxing them into relaxation. And while all good things must come to an end I am holding out hope that this summer will be one to remember, where the world is shown through rose tinted glasses. And speaking of roses, when it comes to summer there is nothing I enjoy more than a refreshing smoothie, berry flavoured of course, sprinkled with an array of beautiful roses assembled in a love heart pattern, before I gulp it greedily down ... read more
Why You Should Have A Weekend Break In Guernsey

Four Trends That You Need In Your Wardrobe In 2018
We are lucky to live in a 'fashion era' that has borrowed so extensively from the past and adapted it into a wearable series of collections that remain palatable for future generations. Confused? Put simply, modern trend reports cite that eras from the past such as the 60's, 70's and 90's remain intrinsic to how we put looks together and also how brands who are inspired by the modern online phenomenon such as Pretty Little Thing, have used to curate their fashion to a mainstream, youth led audience. After all if we were to define 2018 style, unlike the noughties, 90's and hence forth, we don't have a distinguishable trend that has defined our year of fashion just yet because the truth is, ... read more
Why Age Shouldn’t Matter In The Online Dating World
Women who like younger men get typecast as 'cougars' looking for their 'toyboy playmate' while men who like younger women are seen as 'legends' who can get 'young attractive women' with their suave, silver fox looks. The paradox between the two genders shows that women who are attracted to younger guys are seen in a negative light, whereas men are praised for doing the same, because for some bullshit reason 'women should date men their own age'. And don't even get me started on the attitudes towards women or men who are attracted to 'someone older' , who are categorized as 'just in it for money', 'golddiggers' or in some cases to 'boost their status and position in society'. Age shouldn't ... read more
What To Wear On Holiday In Tuscany
It was the news that had filled a void in my heart; for the first time in five years I went on holiday, for the first time in my life I went on holiday with a friend and it was also the first time that I had been to Italy. This holiday would be a chance to hash out a bucket list of firsts and I was excited to feel the sun on my skin. I wanted to dance in the rain and drink wine outside, I wanted to feast on sumptuous cheeses and feel heady in the mystique of the Tuscan countryside and I wanted to float around in floral dresses, weaving through pom poms, tassels and embroidery as I disappeared into the magical surrealism of a holiday in Tuscany, where time seemed to stand still, and the ... read more
