When I say I have never binged a show in an entire day or two, I mean it. And I'm pretty proud that I can resist the urge to watch a whole show in one night. But Never Have I Ever was different. I binged the whole series in two days. No regrets. As soon... Continue Reading →
The Devil Wears Prada: Film Review
No matter how many differences that I will find from the book. This film will always be one of my favourites. First of all, the casting of Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly is iconic. I mean, this gif doesn't even do it justice. Secondly, I love Anne Hathaway and she seems to be the master... Continue Reading →
A Note From the Humble Hair Tie
It's Week 2 of our Wednesday Writing with First Story and National Writing Day. Today's theme was 'Objects' and I have to say if you only do one of these workshops, definitely try the Metaforaging.

The Devil Wears Prada: Book Review
I feel like many of you have seen the iconic film that stars Anne Hathaway as the struggling journalist Andrea, Meryl Streep as the iron-fisted Miranda Priestley and of course, we can't forget Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. However, did you know that it was a (may I say fantastic) book written by Lauren Weisberger?... Continue Reading →
Mad Mythology: When Thor turned Drag
Hi Biscuit Breakers! I thought I'd do something a bit different today, although I have no intentions of making it a whole series, there may be the odd post about Mythology that intrigues me.

Film Review: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Cast your eyes back to 2001. When we first met Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as the Golden Trio. I can't believe it will celebrate it's 10th Anniversary next year. The film was a huge success, it really brought alive the world of Harry Potter, Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, you name it! I think... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
Or Sorcerer's Stone if you are from across the pond. Well, I feel that I have successfully not mentioned Harry Potter as much as I thought I would. But here's my chance to finally geek out about The Boy Who Lived. Also #ravenclawpride. We gotta support our house. Anyway, enough of me babbling on about... Continue Reading →
Europe’s Greatest Pandemic – The Black Death
Hi Biscuit Breakers! I'm back with some more history bites. Today is the Black Death, that lasted for 6 years all across Europe in the 14th Century. This isn't the Great Plague of the 17th Century that impacted London, the Black Death was one of the most deadly diseases which spread like wildfire. I know... Continue Reading →
Easter… Eggs, Bunnies and Chocolate?
Hi Biscuit Breakers! It's Easter! And what better way to celebrate the rebirth of Christ with... Chocolate? Eggs? And Bunnies? Well it's fair enough to say that none of these things were mentioned in the bible. So why is our Easter full of rabbits and chocolate eggs? The correlation between eggs and Easter came about...

30 Day Writing Challenge: Day 20 – Rust
A firework erupts onto the cool metal surface. Almost cannon-like, more and more red explosions appear. Their fiery constellations lock and link together, reaching for each other. It's blaze is uncontrollable, each fall of rain and breath of oxygen fuels its spread over the once smooth chrome formation. Craters appear and the old steel crumbles.... Continue Reading →
