Happy new year! I'm enjoying a brand new year with new resolutions underway. I'm calming down the eating and drinking post-Christmas with my first dry January and a (nearly) veggie month of eating. I'm also following Lauren Laverne's advice to only take on one task at once, 'single-tasking', to stay more relaxed. This year is…

Indie Mags: Ladybeard
From the moment I opened Ladybeard magazine, I knew it was a magazine I wanted to read: We platform the voices you won’t hear in women’s magazines; voices of the people who live any and every deviation from the straight, white, cis, able-bodied ‘ideal’. Working in themed issues, we open up old topics to vital…
Indie Mags: Oh Comely Magazine issue 30
Did you know that Oh Comely magazine was the very first independent magazine I started reading? Back in 2010 when I was at uni in Brighton I'd gotten bored of reading traditional women's magazines and just by chance spotted a copy of Oh Comely magazine, hidden at the back of the shelf in the WHSmith in…
Frightened Rabbit at St John-at-Hackney
Update, Summer 2018: I came across this post while I was tidying up a few odds and ends on old posts. After the tragic loss of Scott Hutchison, lead singer of Frightened Rabbit, earlier this year, it only felt right to include a link to donate to the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH). We miss…
March Favourites
March seemed so long when we were in it, so I can't believe we're already 10 days into April! I spent wonderful weekends in Bath and Oxford with friends and a week skiing in the French Alps with my family. My London-based recommendations are a little thin on the ground this month, but I still…
Indie Mags: Intern Magazine
I recently discovered Intern Magazine, an independent magazine dedicated to debating intern experiences and ethics around internships.
February Favourites
It's March and Spring is in the air! I want to share what I got up to in February with you all. Despite the winter weather it was lovely to try out a few new things... VISIT > Petersham Nurseries Who doesn't have Petersham Nurseries on their places to visit after seeing it crop up…
Indie Mags: In Clover
In Clover is a beautiful and inspiring adventure magazine with a focus on slow living and offline escapes. I picked up a copy of volume two at 'Magazines For Good', a STACK magazines event to raise money for refugees, at the end of last year, and over the dark winter months it's been the perfect magazine…
Indie Mags: The Lifted Brow
Welcome back to my 'Indie Mags' series! I've got a big pile of magazines I've been reading over Christmas and January that I can't wait to share with you. First up, is The Lifted Brow, a quarterly Australian magazine of literature, design and visual art. It's also the first magazine sent to me through my STACK…
Dreaming of Morocco
Hurrah! We've booked a late-summer trip to Marrakesh - not somewhere I would have naturally chosen to go, but now I can't wait to explore. When we first thought about going on holiday I had my heart set on a Mediterranean island but was persuaded by my fairly beach-averse boyfriend and a browse of some travel…
