I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Haringey Pirate Ship in Tottenham, East London once a month.

London
Brockley Market
I love nothing more than a morning spent at a food market. One of the best things about living in London is the sheer range of choice on offer. Fresh produce, knowledgeable traders and great atmosphere – what more could you want from the start to any weekend? Brockley Market isn’t as well known as […]
Creating a capsule wardrobe
Owning a 37 piece, carefully curated wardrobe is the dream right? The reality is a little further from the truth for most of us.

Great Vegan Food from a London Bus!
I’m not a vegan or even a vegetarian for that matter but if you’re in the Bethnal Green area of London, I know a great place for vegan food. Just Fab is such a nice spot and I loved the idea that the kitchen is in the bottom half of a Double Decker bus. It’s […]
Art Fix at Tate Britain
Art is the only way to run away without leaving home This quote from Thwyla Tharp perfectly encompasses the power of art to change a mood or take us on a journey. It is literally good for the soul to walk around Tate Britain.When I stopped by, the colours and light in these paintings stopped […]
Rachel Jackson London – I want it all!
I’ve fallen in love with Rachel Jackson’s jewellery. Simple as! Along with her to die for pieces, I really connect with Rachel’s can-do attitude and this mantra that she lives by from her website… ‘She believed she could so she did’ Rachel left a career in the music industry behind and started designing jewellery at […]
