...How much did your trainers cost? Listennnnnn. Life is happening. Fi true.   I know it’s happening for you too, I’m not even tryna dismiss that, but bro, over here – it’s happening.   My ability to make a decision, stand firm on the decision AND THEN CHANGE MY MIND has got to be studied Exhibit A) You know I am moving to Birmingham, you know,  you have HEARD, I’m sure you are sick of hearing. Last year, I said to myself I am not buying another house ever again, I don’t want the headache, I don’t want the paperwork, I don’t want to chase a solicitor or estate agent again, I absolutely. DO. NOT. WANT. to pay 2 ND / 3 RD TIME BUYER STAMP DUTY EVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE, and I don’t want another ‘renovation design project’. No.   So I was like ‘cool, I’m just gonna rent in Brum’. Then I did some quick math, cause my son needs a bedroom, I need a bedroom, and I need a wardrobe room (because God forbid I put a wardrobe in my bedroom) and I need a garden and a driveway, and i...

It happened again.. . I hit a stumbling block on being a #contentqueen. I’m not 100% sure what happened, I was on SUCH A ROLL with it, constantly filming and editing and posting, but the past month has been like ‘Pls no’. I have had zero enthusiasm for filming, editing or posting. I don’t know if there’s just been too much going on, but my motivation for it was low. I did do one thing though, which was a mass unfollowing on my Instagram . I realised the people in my ‘most shown on feed’ are not people whose content I actually engage with, and they’re not people who engage with my content, so I got rid of them. During my mass unfollowing I noticed 1. I was following people who I last spoke too over a decade ago, with some of them we’re not even in the same field anymore and have nothing in common content wise. 2. I was following people from a decade ago who had gotten married and had kids and their feed is full of pictures and videos of their parters and children (who I don’t / won’t ev...

  I have news: After 10,000 hours of broadcasting in London, I am relocating to Birmingham… to broadcast some more LOL.   This decision wasn’t a light one.   I realised about two years ago that I couldn’t stay in London. The cost of living is absolutely insane. And I mean insane. It was costing me £15 per day in Congestion Charges (which just went up to £18 even), £8 per day Blackwall Tunnel Charges and £25 per day parking charges - just to get to work.   That’s nearly £50 a time just to get to my job, and a similar cost to get to Octaves also, it was no longer sustainable. And no there wasn’t a simple ‘Just get the train’ solution, for reasons that are currently a criminal investigation but that I will write about when I’m allowed.   I’m an action babe, I see a problem, and I go about fixing it, so I started the process of relocating, to Dubai funnily enough. Took my son there last year to sort an apartment, to show him around, lined up jobs etc and was going t...

Don’t let Stefon’s baby momma drama distract you from the Serena Williams GLP-1 Ad.   I’ll be so real, I started writing about this weeks ago but LIFE GOT BUSY! I will of course update you on ‘life’ in a separate post but this one, I wanna get this out there because… well it’s still on my mind.   Sunday 8 th Feb, The Superbowl. I didn’t pay any attention to it because – life. But all over my timeline was naturally the performance by Bad Bunny, and rightly so, coupled with commentary surrounding the relationship of rapper Cardi B and NFL player Stefon Diggs. Again – rightly so cause #Babywhatisyoudoooooin??? Anyway in between alla that, I was having my daily scroll on the timeline and I saw an advert that was aired at the Superbowl of Serena Williams injecting up herself with di weight loss tings.   In the words of L.A Cartier “HAS EVERYBODY LOST IT?!”   Serena Williams, one of the greatest athletes of all time, is promoting weight loss injections.   In the adve...

  I’m going to start by saying my blog hasn’t seen me in weeks – ironically - because I’ve been swamped arranging the reopening of my restaurant, Octaves, which has been closed since May 2025. The reopening requires a level of locking in and due diligence you’ll never be able to imagine (unless it’s something you’ve done yourself before). Staff contracts, staff rotas, stock lists, stock runs, compliance, cleaning, admin, social media, web design, menu design… and that’s before I’ve even cooked a damn thing. Last year I closed the restaurant because God told me to be still. I didn’t know why that was His message, but I knew I shouldn’t act on anything until September 2025. In the last week of September 2025, a lot of things happened that made it all make sense. The restaurant was open from January 2025 to May 2025 because I was convinced by friends and family not to close it. “What about the young people and their jobs?” “You’re providing a disservice to your regulars.” “Restaurants...
