Recently, I saw a video on TikTok that changed the chemistry in my brain. Given the amount of frivolous content I watch on there, mainly as a head break from reality, I wasn’t expecting to have an epiphany. The video explained an experience where the user was targeted verbally by a random person on publicContinue reading “I Don’t Have Blue Hair”

BWRT & Me – I’m not changing, I’m changing back.
Once upon a time there was a girl who believed she could be anything and do anything she wanted. This was in spite of many of her dreams being very much out of reach.

#iamnotdone
A wrote a post for the Grassroots gazette this week. It centered around the fact that in my opinion we have way too many melancholic posts doing the rounds on social media about being “done” and about being tired of pretending to enjoy competing.

Of all the things that happened in 2020 if you would have told me that a tooth would be the biggest impact on my life I would have called you a liar. Unfortunately it was true. If you know me, you will know I am not a dentist fan. It’s a perfectly rational fear –Continue reading “The Whole Tooth”
Product Review – The VIP Pad

At £130 the Very Important Pad isn’t cheap so it was an investment. The appeal of the pad for me is very simple – while theContinue reading “Product Review – The VIP Pad”
Thoughts Horse People have when watching Tiger King
$2000 for a tiger, That sounds… very reasonable. Are we talking about getting a good tiger for that price or more like a ‘project’ tiger that is more likely to try and kill you?
