Presented by The Acting Gymnasium: The Seagull, by Anton Chekhov.
One of the great things about London’s culture scene is that it is never difficult to find something new and Theatro Technis and The Acting Gymnasium are some of those hidden treasures. The intimate setting of the theatre, combined with the strong sound and lighting department, allows for a naturally immersive environment.

One of the joys of living close to London is the accessibility to galleries and museums. Last week I hid out in the National Gallery.
“The daisy’s for simplicity and unaffected air.”

The red lip has always inspired different trends, but more importantly it inspires different feelings. Classic, sexy, edgy, romantic, bold confidence, smudged shyness, rose stained kisses, deadly and enticing, this list goes on. Each shade and outfit you wear it with will create a different feeling. The Red Lip is truly transformative.
Book Review: The City & The City, by China Miéville.
‘When the body of a murdered woman is found in the extraordinary decaying city of Besźel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks like a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad. But, as he probes, the evidence begins to point to conspiracies far stranger, and more deadly, than anything he could have imagined. Soon his work puts him and those he cares for in danger, and Borlú must travel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own, across a border like no other.’
Having been born and raised in the same town means that I’ve never had the fortune of getting lost. Wanting to get lost may seem a little strange but boredom and curiosity will do that to you.

“Spring is the time of plans and projects.”
-Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina.
With its flowers’ blooming in March, the Freesia is the ideal flower for Spring, providing a freshness perfect for the new transition with its sweet, clean, citrus scent and bold colours that are still pretty and delicate.
Book Review: The Watcher in the Shadows, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
“An enigmatic toymaker who lives as a recluse in an old mansion, surrounded by the fantastical beings he has created. An eerie figure that watches from behind the curtains of a locked room. Strange lights that flicker through the mist from an abandoned lighthouse. A shadow creature that hides deep in the woods and has already claimed one life. These are the elements of a mystery that will bind Irene to Ismael during a magical summer in Blue Bay, when her mother becomes housekeeper to the secretive toymaker, Lazarus Jann.”
Zafon makes it difficult for book reviewers to do their job, as it is easy to lose the critical mind when being swept along with his easy flow of words and the naturally gripping atmosphere.
