Lads, before you start skimming this article hoping for flashes of flesh or requests for dick pics, let me be clear: it’s about nude makeup. Not actual nudes. I just used that title because it’s catchy. Soz and all that.Due to the surge in popularity […]
It’s my blog-versary!An entire year has passed since I penned my first post here at Life: A Bird’s Eye View. And what a year it’s been: from getting an article published in So Magazine, to being featured on an American podcast over in Washington DC, […]
When I was first invited to test CrocodOil my initial reaction was “Is this a crock…?”…closely followed by: “Surely people don’t rub oil from a crocodile into their skin? Their prehistoric-looking hide doesn’t look too supple to me; if it’s so full of goodness why […]
I’ve always liked the idea of being an ‘IT Girl.’ That’s IT as in rhymes with fit, not IT as in Information Technology. As a teenager flicking through the glossy pages of Vogue (in the newsagents, before putting it back and buying More magazine), […]
photo credit A child is like a tiny seed; a tree at the start of it’s long life. The quality of the soil, the water, the climate – all determine the tree that seed will grow into. It’s the duty of everyone who […]
They say “every dog has it’s day.” Well this flea-bitten old dog would really love hers. My blog has been nominated in the #UKBlogAwards2017 lifestyle category. I know, mental right?! Obviously I’m up against the blogging big guns with 6-figure followers, but so much crazy and unexpected fun […]
My last trip to Goa saw me tripping like a hippy at a hilltop rave. Unfortunately, this was not due to imbibing some fantastical mind-bending substance and having a “spiritual awakening” – you know, the kind those faux-Rasta gap yah brats bang on about […]
Christmas: A time for folk to spend money (they don’t have) buying gifts (they can’t afford) for relatives (they don’t like) to celebrate the birth of the son of a God (they don’t believe in). One day, when I grow up, I’m hoping to […]
In years gone by, I was one of those miserable killjoys who, when the trick-or-treating “yoof” of the neighbourhood came a-knocking on All Hallows Eve, would flip off all the lights and throw myself on the floor until the coast was clear. Then I […]
Cervical Cancer Facts: – there are over 3000 new cases diagnosed in the UK annually – it is responsible for 900 UK deaths a year – cervical screening rates are in decline, with more than 1 in 3 women ignoring their letter – diagnoses of […]
When you look in the mirror, what do you see?A wrinkle…an imperfect nose…a fresh blemish on your chin? In this age of air-brushed perfection and cleverly-filtered social media, it’s easy to be self-critical; to compare your looks, wealth, success – your life – to that […]
I remember the first time I laid eyes on him. His name was Norris Nokia; he was a little on the heavy side and with a tendency towards clumsiness, yet when he nuzzled against my ear we just seemed to…connect. He was my first, […]
Ibiza. Eye-beef-ahh. Ee-beez-a. Whatever your preferred pronunciation, most people who visit The White Isle never go just once: the island is a magnet. If she were a woman she’d be a fearless rubber-clad dominatrix, mercilessly reeling you in then spitting you out; she eats guileless […]
My regular blog readers will know that women’s reproductive health and gynae cancers are matters close to my heart, having shared my cervical cancer experience and subsequent infertility with you here on my blog and also via the Huffington Post. So I was particularly proud and […]
It’s the age-old routine: girl meets boy, they fall hopelessly in love, move in together, get married, maybe have a couple of kids….then spend the rest of the relationship bickering relentlessly over whose turn it is to cook/clean/take the rubbish out/(insert tedious menial task here).Gradually […]
Now if there’s something guaranteed to make me leap out of bed and into the shower in a desperate frenzy to get ready in the morning it has to be: a) Tom Hardy brandishing a loofah b) a holiday or c) gorgeous new make up […]
My fourth blog, written in February 2016, documenting the adventures of the 3 musketeers (ok, volunteers, but that sounded better): De Mama (my mum), Andy (my partner) and I, as we travelled to San Jose, Costa Rica, to help disadvantaged children living in the capital, […]
My third blog, Sam Goes Solo (aka No Emotional Thais: New Beginnings…Happy Endings?) was written in 2014, when I went travelling around the Thai islands on my tod…. www.samgoessolo.blogspot.com Sam x Fancy reading my back-story before you go any further? You can find […]
My second blog, Mummy Mission, was a short-lived infertility blog; the blog may have been short, but the journey was looooooong (7 years to be exact)…….. […]
