Rah, you’re tall… and you’re wearing heels? You’re doing too much!”

The pain of being ghosted is hard to explain.  It’s definitely not as bad as a broken heart, but boy, does it suck!  You built someone up in your head, thinking it was going somewhere and would turn into this amazing thing but it never does. It’s  not like a normal breakup, where you’re mourning the [...]

I don’t know how Khloe isn’t tired yet because I sure am! It’s beyond embarrassing at this point, she can’t even blame him anymore. Is it a pride thing? Maybe she doesn’t wanna quit? Whatever it is, at some point Khloe is gonna have to open her eyes and stop looking at Mr. Third Trimester [...]

Reggie Yates’ new drama details the story of Billy Fearon, a contestant from a Love Island style reality show, Love or Lust; who’s star is beginning to fade after his time in the shoe. We see scenes from 18 months earlier, during the interview that got him a spot as a cast member on the [...]

When this lockdown situation first began, everyone seemed to have these long lists of what they were going to do, when they were going to do it and how they were going to do it. I kind of was guilty of this too; I didn’t necessarily have a list but I had told myself “I’ve [...]

This list is not in any particular order, I just wrote down the titles as they came to mind. I’m gonna try to recommend a variety of book topics and genres, from different authors. “Cheaters” by a Eric Jerome Dickey. Although this book was published in 1999, I feel like this is actually quite a [...]

Paige Turkey & Finn Tapp, Love Island season 6 winners It was definitely a fix. No questions about it. Everyone has their own personal favourites but honestly; Paige and Finn? No shade to them but in six months to a years time, I doubt any of us will be thinking of them, whereas people from [...]

As soon as I saw the trailer for ‘Queen & Slim’ I knew I had to see it. The tale of a modern day, black Bonnie & Clyde, it looked like a good choice! The very first scene depicts the pair on their first (technically their only) date; and Queen is about to kick up [...]

In 2015, I wrote a blog titled “Where is her self respect?” after reading the autobiography of Faith Evans. After reading the details of Notorious BIG’s multiple affairs, I kinda thought to myself “did these women not respect or value themselves?” Read the blog here - http://natallie2008.blogspot.com/2015/03/where-is-her-self-respect.html?m=1#comment-form A clip from the talk show ‘The Real’ [...]

Where can I begin with this one? I watched season one early last year and found myself pleasantly interested in the many twists and turns that the show took as we followed Joe (played by Penn Badgley) as he stalked the object of his affections, Beck (played by Elizabeth Lail) and the people around her., [...]

Whilst scrolling down my instagram feed a couple of days ago, a post vaught my attention.. A popular YouTuber had posted a full-length picture of herself, and to her astonishment (and mine, along with many others) a plastic surgery clinic in Turkey sent her a message suggesting that she needed to have a Brazilian Butt [...]

When I was in school, naturally when a group of friends were excluding other children from playing in a particular game or activity, my teachers‘ simple and very basic reaction would be “hey, why don't you make your own game?” and then proceed to break up the exclusion without alienating the idea of playing in [...]

So I can’t lie, when I heard the title of this film and then watched the trailer, I assumed it would be the cliche Christmas-themed romcom. You know, man meets woman in some sort of awkward or amusing circumstances, they develop a love-hate relationship or just can’t get it right and then finally get together [...]

As little girls we are told many things, and whether it eventually happens or not, many of us dream of becoming a wife & mother - not necessarily in that order - but nevertheless, its instilled in us.  As we get older, the dream becomes slightly more urgent, with cultural and societal standards being set [...]
