One Look, Two Ways

I do have interesting things to post, I promise. But currently work on upgrading and discovering why my websites server keeps crashing is ongoing and I wouldn’t want to lose anything actually interesting.

War, Peace and Shopping

Last year I went to War & Peace for the first time. Despite me having lived in Kent for years I’d never been, but I loved it and swore to come back this year and bring Mr Chick along with me. A lot of the bits that I particularly enjoyed last year (like the living

Ms Motivator

Motivation is a really hard thing to find. If you have it then everything’s great. If you don’t, then finding the motivation to do the things that help you get motivation can seem pretty hard. Since I came back from holiday (3 weeks ago! Hah!) I’m struggling to get into the swing of things. My

Mad Men Chick

Do you ever get really bored of of how you look? I do. So yesterday I abandoned my normal decades of preference and sent a raiding party into the early 60s to steal some of their style. I tend to favour a 30s or 40s inspiration with the occasional stumble into the early 50s, and
