Skunk Anansie @ The 02 Arena in Oxford
We all have our opinion on reality TV shows, but without them, I would not have found out about this awesome band. I still don't understand why I have only just found out about them during the first lockdown. I love a lot of bands that had either debuted in the 90s or made their best albums from that decade. A part of me wished I found out about them earlier. Skin is a true pioneer both as a solo artist and as the frontwoman in her band.

Mighty Hoopla 2022
The first weekend of June marked a special occasion. Many flocked to London to celebrate the Queen’s platinum jubilee. As for me, I went to London for a different reason. I guess Mighty Hoopla was my way of celebrating the occasions even though I was stanning different kinds of Queens.

Things I Would Do if I was in Charge of My Country
1) Eliminate homelessness Quick search on Google estimates that 2% of the world’s population are homeless. My gut instinct tells me it’s higher. It should be zero. Institutions need a revolution. There’s plenty of empty properties and rooms out there that need filling. There is no excuse for people to be sleeping out on the streets. Everyone would feel safer if they were gaurenteed a place to stay.

Making Friends with Beatrix Potter
Introduction Everybody has heard of Beatrix Potter at least some point of their lives. Her written works have captured the imagination and hope of many children through many generations. Not so long ago, they made a movie about Peter Rabbit. Beatrix Potter lived in the Lake District and she loved it here. She took care of many animals which became her inspiration for many of her beloved characters. There’s also a drama show in the UK where Beatrix Potter meets Ronald Dahl.

I Finally Read Rich Dad Poor Dad
Typing Rich Dad Poor Dad into Vocal's search engine brings a plethora of results. It's a book that caught my eye in the book shop and it's been a book I've wanted to read for years. So why has it taken me so long to read it? Well I had a long list of books I wanted to read. At the moment, I believe my list on Goodreads contains over 900 books. Once I slashed my to-be-read list down to the three-figures, it eventually popped up in my library's catalogue and I borrowed it for a while. I have since returned it, but it's a book that I believe will stay in me. When I got around to actually reading the book, I felt it had been a book I had already read before.

You should go to Blarney Castle
Blarney Castle and Gardens was the highlight of my Ireland trip. It was built nearly 600 years ago and millions still come to see it today. I didn’t know much about it, but I always like visiting historic buildings and castles in particular. I’ve been staying at Cork for a few days as it’s my stepdad’s birthday. His dad was born in this city, so it’s a close place to his heart. I hadn’t been to Ireland since I was 7 on a ferry trip to Dublin.

At the Titanic Memorial in Cobh
Many have heard of the famous 1997 film. It’s been over 110 years since the ship tragically sunk which claimed the lives of over 1500 people. Cruise ships nowadays can be bigger than the Titanic now, but at the time it was one of the biggest ships in the world. It’s still one of the greatest tragedies before both world wars.

My Issues With the Zero Waste Movement
The heart is in the right place, but it’s widely misjudged… The zero waste movement was made with the best intentions. However, I feel that that many companies and brands have jumped on this wagon to make more money. People are more conscious of the environment, but the solutions lack depth. Banning plastic straws isn’t going to solve the plastics in the ocean. Companies telling us they’re gonna grow more trees dosen’t solve the deforestation crisis. What’s the point in telling us to recycle and reuse when it all ends in landfill anyway? I’m all for more ethical products on the market, but I do feel there’s a lot of hypocrisy and a dose of double standards.
