When I got back from the States after Christmas, I committed to myself that I’d spend some time “settling” into London life. When the travel bug bites you, it is quite easy to get carried away. I mean this quite literally; from July to December last year I was in a different country each month …
These past couple of weeks have brought glorious, sunshine-y weather to London, which has made me feel like spring has sprung! To celebrate, I’ve been getting all domestic, cleaning out winter clutter from my closets, hoovering the floors and clearing away piles of coats and scarves that have taken over every possible surface in my …
I’m no Bill Gates or Richard Branson, but I still manage to get everything I need to do done (usually within a reasonable amount of time, too) and still have a little time to play hard, too. That being said, between organizing Boutique de Noel (mark your calendars now, 12-13 November, 2014), managing clients, doing …
It is a blessed relief that Slate.com recently defended freaks like me who binge on TV series that are a bit more complex than Made in Chelsea or Gossip Girl. (Although, full disclaimer, I have been known to watch several hours of each of these shows back to back when I’m hungover.) While I think …
February seems extraordinarily difficult to slog through sometimes. I don’t know about you, but regardless of what I’m doing, music tends to make me daydream a bit, which helps pass the time and keep me entertained, pumped and (sometimes) productive. Here’s what’s keeping me going this month: I just love the name of this …

I’m not really in the field of giving personal advice, which most people should be very grateful for! But every so often something from my work life teaches me a lesson that I can use in other aspects of ma vie déjantée. Semi-recently I decided to stop playing off the whole self employed as a …
For all your digital enthusiasts out there, Christmas is coming. Not literally, of course, but the same spirit, excitement and general buzz fills the air (for me, anyway) every Community Manager Appreciation Day. The best thing is, this year, yours truly will be on one of the panels! So what exactly is Community Manager Appreciation …
After a twelve hour journey door to door, you better end up somewhere worth the long queues, airplane food (although Virgin Atlantic is better than most, I will say) and jet lag. While the holidays at my house can be extraordinarily hectic (I’m sure you can say the same of yours), its always worth the …
I’m going to go off script a little bit like I did when I ruminated about loss and just write about something I’ve been thinking about for a while: what it means to really let go of something. Loss can come when you least expect it, and you may or may not have a choice …
