Annnnd just like that Valentine’s Day was almost here. (Cue all the singletons across the globe drizzing into their pint of Ben & Jerry’s – where’s Bridget Jones when you need her, hey?) Anywhoo, massive knickers and social awkwardness aside, I feel like good old V-Day has the tendency to make people a little cray……

Hometown Glory
And so another Heritage Day is almost upon us. At first, I found myself a little stumped at what to write, but I figured when it comes to matters of the heart, it’s always best to speak directly from it. So, I made a cake and wrote this poem. An Ode to the Motherland Oh,…
Daddy Cool
Dad – noun. A man with pictures in his wallet where his money used to be… Fatherhood’s gotta be the most testing, expensive and rewarding part of any man’s lifetime. If you do it well, like my dad did, you’ll only be nagged occasionally but thanked profusely especially on days like today (Father’s Day). As…
Crack ain’t whack!
I know, I know. I’ve been gone a long time. By any standards, an absence from blogging for this amount of time constitutes digital suicide (gasp), but to be completely frank… those who know me will know that it’s not why I blog in the first place. They say that absence makes the heart grow…
The (un)expected
“Expect the unexpected.” Whether it’s getting dumped, receiving speeding fines in the post (ahem, Ryan) or that elusive promotion, it’s always best to remain poised for the unpredictable. This is not only because it helps you save face when something does happen, it’s also because (NEWSFLASH) there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it… Such…
XXL
“Go big, or go home!” It’s an anecdote that’s become just as popular as any of the old classics. When you think about it, it’s pretty timeless and can be applied to just about anything. A hairstyle, the “buffness” (so not a real word) of one’s boyfriend, a night out or even the size of…
Of Birthdays and Booty Pops…
Last week Tuesday saw me celebrating another birthday and although I only turned a (relatively) tender 24, I still felt somewhat antiquated… (Bitches be old). Birthdays are a weird breed of animal for me. For starters, I always seem to look forward to them with reckless abandon. Counting down the months, weeks, days and even…
Life’s greatest teachers.
If you think about it, life’s a lot like school. There’s always going to be early mornings, homework, people that you just don’t like, the ones who are smarter, funnier and better looking than you and of course, there are always going to be lessons. Some we learn from teachers (actual teachers, big bosses or just…
Some Bunny Loves You…
Let it be known that in spite of what anyone may say, you’re NEVER too old for an Easter egg hunt. Ever since I can remember, each and every year I’d wait in anticipation for supermarkets to begin stacking their shelves with copious amounts of Easter goodies. Flash forward 23 years, and I’m still ridiculously…
The Luck of the (not-so)Irish
Luck. It’s an interesting notion. We can’t see it, but we can see the product of it. We can’t unleash it at whim, but we can enjoy it when it hits us. Some claim they have it, others say they’ve never known it, but I say we make our own. What do I mean? Well,…
Ya Bacon me Crazy!
Jack Johnson was definitely on to something when he said that some things were, “Better Together.” Cookies and cream, wine and chocolate and of course bread and butter. You could always have one without the other, but let’s be real… life’s too short for that. The world has seen its fair share of power couples….
Drunk in Love
They say that there’s all kinds of love but never the same love twice. Some would argue that we should be grateful for this… I somehow beg to differ. Yes, love is scary, risky and disappointing when things don’t go as you had expected them to… But at the same time, it’s crazy, rare, exciting…
