I love browsing the internet and StumbleUpon has recently become my new best friend. Some may call it ‘a waste of time’ but this weekend has been very educational: I now know more about the lost city of Atlantis & Plato than ever before. Plus, I’m really getting into Greek mythology – it’s been very […]
swear I am never drinking again. I have heard this line many times as friends lay curled up, white in the face, hands shaking, a sheen of sweat on their foreheads, reeking of the night before. This is also one of the greatest promises ever broken, along with “I swear this is my last cigarette” […]

So this health thing is kinda working for me. Kinda. I had an alcohol-free Bloody Mary the other day – now that was a big step. You read all over the news that smoothies aren’t as healthy as you think, and in many cases it is true. However, if you are making it yourself and […]

This restaurant is located somewhere in China. They say that once you have finally managed to reach the top, you can eat there for free. Let me know how the food is, ’cause I’m not going. This is insane!
Bucketlists, like New Years resolutions, are things I have never been very good at sticking with. I forget about them, get over them, or realise that they make no significant difference to my life and decide to focus on something else that interests me more. Until now. Now I have a mission. It’s a mission […]
Going to a museums is not only a pass-time for members of high society anymore. This is certainly the case when talking about Pizza Brain – the new pizza museum that will open its doors in Philadelphia.
