1. Accept that it’s there – but rather than digging a deeper hole, pay attention to the (good) things that get your mind off it, and invest more into the good things.
2. Tell someone you’re not extremely close to.

My parents celebrate 37 years of marriage!
My dad shyly approached me the night before my parent’s 37th wedding anniversary just to confirm that he had the right date in mind (men and their bad memories!) My mother later on called me and asked why he approached me; but I saved him by saying nothing!
Hear me speak on radio!
I’ve been a presenter at East London Radio since May 2015, and thoroughly enjoy becoming part of a refreshing and engaging talk show. Read a bit about The Talk, here.
Why we should continue to reject negative black stereotypes.
Recently I’ve seen people on social media – predominantly black males, using a campaign photo as a way to make jokes about the differentiation between skin tones on women of colour.
How to deal with rejection
- Congratulate yourself. Yes, give yourself a pat on the back for even having the courage, strength and tenacity to go for it in the first place.

So for the past 10 days I haven’t blogged. I was honestly busy, but found that the new venture I decided to do over the past 10 days would add to a great blog post on skin care!

How to make full use of your 24 hours

“I haven’t seen my friends in ages”
“I never have time to look after myself”

These are common things I usually hear from people who don’t have enough time to do things; mostly due to work and other commitments. I’m often asked how I’m able to juggle a gazillion things at once, so here are the main things I ensure I do to fully utilise my days. Trust me, it works (well, for me!)…
Spinning classes are for everyone!
Some of you may have read that I recently quit my gym membership in January, due to realising how much my body deserves – which is much more than a lazy gym membership.
Through a friend and model who happens to also now be an instructor at a high intensive and fitness workout, I then discovered the phenomenon that is Boom Cycle. Boom Cycle is the most fun, intense and buzzing spin class I’ve been to.
The power of Twitter
Anyone that knows me personally knows how much of a huge networker I am! It’s time to start blogging more about these inspiring events I regularly go to.
I visited Twitter HQ in London, only a short distance from work, and didn’t think I’d get so much out of a meeting.
Twitter is something you can make your own. You are free to share, express and simply be yourself.
Dear restaurant worker,
I like to eat out, frequently. To catch up with friends or colleagues, to celebrate special occasions with family, to try different flavours, for dates, and to generally unwind!
Throughout my twice weekly restaurant trips I’ve noticed what distinguishes a good restaurant from a bad restaurant. Have a look and see if you agree..
