And so I find myself with a completely white bedroom. White walls, crisp white ceiling, white window frames and piles of ornate coving around the edges of the room that look as though they’re made of royal icing. Sometimes I lie on the bed and... -

#Relatable - possibly the most overused word within the blogosphere. During the rise of blogs and vlogs these 'real' men and women provided a refreshing relief from the over photoshopped and over commercialised magazines we were used to... -

My latest video has quite the dramatic title: Things Have Got To Change. It started off as a video about diet and exercise and the fact that I have a terrible diet and don’t do any exercise, but then I went off on a tangent and it became a video... -
