Come Join Me

Monday, no work. That's fine, I've got to hoover and finish a sewing project. I've got the house to myself. So I thought, until one of my house mates crawled out from his room. Now that's ruined my reign of freedom and my fast pace to get my to do list done. Tuesday, no work. I got a text saying that the job's cancelled yesterday. They also kindly text me this afternoon to say tomorrows cancelled. I think I'm just going to cancel the rest of 2016 and go back to bed. I'm resisting so hard not to get into bed. It's not like I've not done anything today. I was at the gym for 10:30 am this morning, that's the real reason I need to get back into bed. Boxercise has left me exhausted!  The benefits of going back to bed: Save money, as I have none. (This will change Recover. Avoid my house mate (who happens to be at home again.) And hide from my no so exciting life. Benefits of NOT going to bed: Begin to write an amazing script/ play/ novel...

I was recently asked to take part in '8 Questions With...' For Patrick Micheal. A blogger and writer based in America. I very much enjoy being interview and have also been subject to a pre graduates dissertation.  Below is the interview with Pat.  It’s 4:34 pm Welcome another edition of “8 Questions with…..”. So in keeping to my recent trend of interviewing some incredible and very talented artists from the UK,I decided to ask Sarah Sharman for a nice chat. Sarah is a very friendly young lady and you can see,also very beautiful as well. Acting in the UK seems at once both close knit yet wide open depending on who you ask. I see the different folks post on boards looking for the one break they feel they may need to gain the next level. One huge difference I do see between the UK acting world and the US is the fact the actors from the UK seem willing to help their fellow artists. The group where I met Sarah was like that. People sharing information,new productions getting geare...

It was only a few weeks ago I looked at my hair, fed up. It always seems dry, yet I'm forever moisturising it. It's grown out, but has no shape. It's so bushy it takes forever to do each day. The journey of leaving relaxers and hair straighteners, has been long, and today more woman are embracing their curls and learn how to manage them. I, however was contemplated cutting it short again and thought to revert back to relaxing it after 4 years. Neither I really wanted to do. I'm still learning and trying to find what is best and works well for my hair. I've watched endless amounts of Youtube videos seeking advice from others with curly or unruly hair. But what I need is a miracle! Brown Beauty Talk-special guest,  Subrina Kidd My  prayers were answered.  My hair Angel had come to save me from the woes of my natural curly hair.  The amazing Subrina Kidd, who I'd been introduced to a few years back at the Toni and Guy academy called me to see if I wa...

There are days that I wake up and think, I’m just going to stay in bed, there’s nothing for me to get up for, I have nowhere to be. I seem to be having that thought every time I have a day off. And currently, nearly every day is a day off for me. I’m also starting to think, what if i disappear? Just vanish, maybe even die? Nobody will notice. Not for a few weeks at least. I don’t have a regular job, so that won’t be a problem. And I don’t have close friends that see my often for them to notice. At the moment I’ve realised again, that I don’t have anything here. I spent three months away in a different country, not really knowing anyone and ended up feeling a lot better there than I did here.  “Its better to be lonely in a place no one knows you.’ ( A series of emotions you  might  feel....) I’m not going to die. Its just a thought I play with, I haven't planned HOW I will die. So its not even a deep thought…Just a passing one, so maybe vanishing will be a bett...

Here's a little film I made.

The end of my three months in LA is approaching, 21 days lefts to be exact. I can hear you ask,'Has it been amazing?' 'Will you go back?' 'What did you do?' Well firstly, it was not a long holiday, some of the photos may have made it look like that- but that's what weekends are for, plus I'd be a fool to miss out on not enjoying the glorious  sunshine. Has it been amazing? Honestly...no. I'm here living in a city where I know practically no-one. Amazing would not be the word to describe my time here. It has however been a  bit of a learning curve, I've realised how much of an open minded person I am. I tend to not really know where things are going day to day I like living alone and being able to walk around naked. (I use to be a bit prudish) I find myself in very weird situations more often than I'd like I really don't like being tied down I could easily live in a different country I love meeting new people I should not ...

The weekend is here and we are packing up to go to Boone to paddle on the Des Moines River. My cousin has been rowing for many years, she and her husband are up at 5am every morning to get out on the river before work. Lucky for us, we leave in the afternoon for a day of adventure. The quietness around when on the water is one that everyone should experience if they can. We had our beer attached to our boat, nice and chilled and perfect for stopping and watching the beauty of nature. The next day my cousin left a kayak out for me whilst they went out with their sprint team. I cautiously got into the kayak to venture out on my own. Mother waved my off as I tried to get back into the motion that I learnt the day before. I felt a bit rock as nerves crept in realising that my kayak was so far away from the land and the chance of me falling was possible, but no one would be around to help me. Pushing this thought to the back of my mind, I focused on what was happeni...
