It’s unsure whether it was chance, timing, or simply fate that made the Justin Chadwick movie come out so shortly after Nelson Mandela’s death. What’s certain though, is that it couldn’t have happened at a better time. Those who wished to celebrate his life could do so; and those who didn’t know anything about him … Continue reading

25 Is The New 18?
I recently turned 25. On top of the usual birthday wishes, this spawned a lot of “OMG quarter of a century!!” comments. And suddenly, your brain tries to wrap itself around that concept. Because, you know, quarter of a century. Nowadays we’re fairly lucky if we get to 90 without too many health problems (think … Continue reading
Something… So 90s
Did you ever hear the saying ‘The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’? Well, I guess it’s true in a way as few are the men who would say no to a woman cooking them dinner. So yeah, you can probably make him stay by filling his plate with steak. But there’s … Continue reading
The Other Sister
Back in 1999, I was a teenager and addicted to the German magazine Bravo which was awesome. For a while they advertised movies by using stills to summarise the story in the shape of a photo novella. One of those movies was Garry Marshall’s The Other Sister with Juliette Lewis and Diane Keaton. The plot … Continue reading
Mozzarella squares
I recently discovered Mozzarella sticks (yes, I know, I’ve been missing out) and when I had some leftover mozzarella from my Mediterranenan Chicken, and I was about to eat gnocchi with pesto sauce (store bought, I’m not at THAT stage yet- lol) I decided to try them out myself! I found a couple of recipes … Continue reading
Mediterranean Chicken With Rice/ Leftover stir fry
I cut out this recipe from a magazine a while back, and when I discovered 3 chicken breast fillets in my freezer, I thought ‘Why the Hell not?’ and decided to make it last night. The recipe called for red and yellow peppers, spinach and basil, but my fridge and my wallet weren’t being cooperative. … Continue reading
Ferrero Rocher FroYo
After making plain FroYo the other day, I decided to step it up a bit. I personally LOVE Ferrero Rocher, and it’s great as an ice cream or a milkshake. I thought I’d try it as a Froyo and here’s how that went. Please follow the instructions from the last article which tell you how … Continue reading
Freeze! Making my own frozen yoghurt :D
For my recent 24th birthday, my ever-awesome-Mama got me an ice cream maker. Ever since I’d tried SNOG, it was my dream to be able to have it whenever I wanted, and without having to dish out £10 for travel and the food. Anyway, machine is here and today was the day to try it … Continue reading
Toy Story 3: The Climax Of A Generation
I wrote this review for the Kingston Students’ Union Magazine Fresh the year the movie came out… And it’s still accurate today. The text has been rewritten a bit. “This summer saw two great animation series come to an end: Shrek 4 and Toy Story 3. I haven’t been able to see Shrek 4 yet, … Continue reading
Gangster Squad
To celebrate my 24th, I decided to relish in some Ryan Gosling ogling. The latest release including him in its cast is Gangster Squad. Unfortunately for me, he doesn’t take his shirt of. Fortunately for me, that’s not the point of the plot. The story revolves around the aptly named ‘Gangster Squad’, a group of … Continue reading
