TYPICAL ROMANTIC MOVIE SCENARIOS: 1) The guy is a womaniser, but the special woman who plays hard to get makes him see the error of his ways. 2) The girl is unnoticed and the guy she pines for always fancies someone who is prettier than her but makes less sense on paper. He comes around … Continue reading Is the Chick Flick making us Lovesick?
How much of what we say to others really means the same thing? Virtually everyone knows the underlying pragmatics to our phrases, but if you defy them you'll be told you're wrong (even though you're not...but that's the aim of the game.) Us Brits love a good language muck up with one another, but inevitably … Continue reading How to Read British People’s Minds
Do you remember 15 years ago when if we had a disagreement with someone, or had any issues or doubts about situations we were involved in, we had to confront it face-to-face? If my friend had done something that upset me, I couldn’t “appear offline” when she walked past me in school. And if you … Continue reading Has Your Phone Made You a Narcissist?
I chortled when I saw a dog with the same curly hair as my mum’s. It’d bring many a grin to my face if I saw her walking a dog that was her spitting image but in the canine form. But you know, it’s not that strange a concept. We as humans do love a … Continue reading When Celebs Look Like Their Cars
It’s pretty damn obvious we didn’t get on this planet through Stork delivery in a knapsack, right? Anyone who thinks otherwise, well, you may want to ask your friends Santa and the Tooth Fairy their thoughts on the situation… I digress. When I decided to watch some educational TV, I thought that the History channel … Continue reading Just One Diletto, Give it to Me!
Gaww, you’re so pale you nearly blinded me just opening this tab! I’m sorry, I don’t mean to insult you. Welcome, my milk bottle friend. Despite my testament to the bronze, I am a secret Caucasian with a hint of “olive undertones” AKA, yellow…or Dipsy from the Teletubbies. So, as you can imagine, I know … Continue reading You’re Pasty – Sort it Out! Tried and Tested Techniques
How can this be felt when you won’t expose your heart? Your humour works as a shield of armour. The eyes that penetrate so deeply, but within a blink, they transform from waves to drops. A simple touch could transcend my entire being, but you change the destination from its ethereal realm just so you … Continue reading Swallowed by the Ocean of Emotion
I know why you’re here. You’ve booked yourself a trip to some hot island and you want to rock the beach looking like the next best thing since sliced bread, right? But, as much as you can hit the gym and deplete the carbs (Mmm, precious carbs) sometimes, once you arrive at your destination, you … Continue reading Holiday Skincare Tips for the Naïve Traveller
I sat there in awe of the most average couple I'd ever seen. Superficially, neither of them were oil paintings, and listening to their combination of bland drivel talk and her scolding him like a naughty schoolboy, I wondered how on earth they could be happy. On the surface, they made no sense to me. … Continue reading How to Find Your Hero: The Love Complex
My mouth hangs agape, my eyes bulge with curiosity to the view, all the while continuously fighting my brain’s knee-jerk reaction to shut them and turn off the TV.
