I've never really been huge on the outdoors. Like most kids from ethnic upbringings, camping and outdoor activities were largely sparse, replaced by an array of extra curricular activities outside of school hours, and of course tutoring. Perhaps this deprivation of sorts has led to an innate desire to seek out beautiful places, and the older I get
Chimamanda
I can definitely, in retrospect, relate fully to feeling (as a young girl) that traditionally 'female' interests, fashion, makeup, were things to be ashamed of. In fact, it was often actively re-enforced to me by others as something that was superficial, vapid and lesser in value. And yet I remained puzzled by our double standard society that
The right thing at the wrong time
Timing is something we all try to control and invariably fail to. This extends all too fluidly into the realm of relationships. So many of us are guilty of glorifying past encounters with mismatched love interests with the all too familiar statement of 'it was just the right thing at the wrong time'. We use time as an excuse for the absence of
Nomade Tulum
The further you digress down the highway away from infamous Cancun, the more removed you are from the stock standard imposed party atmos of third world countries. Tulum, is lined by a number of boutique and high end resorts and hotels each with their own slice of the best of the Riviera Maya coastline. For me, booking into Nomade Tulum was an

Orange is the new black
I picked up this dress from Pretty Little Thing after Kylie Jenner sported it at an event late last year. For the price point, the dress is a good buy. And whilst I can't definitively concur that orange is the new black, let alone a regular feature of my wardrobe, the tangerine hue is particularly complimentary to dark skin tones, making the skin
Establishing a self care routine
Now more than ever, individually, and for society as a whole, self care has become increasingly important an act. I, like millions of others around the world, suffer from anxiety. For a long time I never wanted to admit to it, largely due to the taboo around any discussion of mental health as some sort of weakness that was different to any other
Velour tracksuit
Who knew that Juicy Couture circa 2002 would make the biggest comeback from trashy post big night out in Hollywood fashion to the most treasured trend of 2017. Here's first look at my 4 piece collaboration with my absolute favourite e-commerce brand MISSGUIDED. Here, I am wearing this velour navy tracksuit from Missguided. The set was created by
Ubud Swing
When familiarity goes, when I feel as though the very ground I stand on is shifting, panic sets in. And in such a state of panic, everything I know for certain leaves my mind. I am overcome with the feeling of fear and pessimism about the unknown ahead. But the beauty of hindsight allows me to recognise
Who told you that it was selfish to love yourself?
People generally respond poorly to men and women who celebrate themselves. It seems to me the only way to avoid scornful and bitchy remarks from others is to tinker between being incredible or being nothing, ie being average so you are not too much or too little in the eye of others. Who told you that it was selfish to love yourself? The
