Desserts in London are in a league of their own. Every Summer, lists pop up of the best/newest/ most interesting desserts in London to try. I don’t have a list but I do have a recommendation….

Loving Right Now - On Demand is In Demand*
Now that Christmas and New Year celebrations are (and very much feels like) a distant memory, it’s all too enticing to spend the rest of winter curled up on the sofa bingeing and catching up on the latest box-sets and on demand releases.
Ballie Ballerson, Shoreditch
I recently for a couple of hours, became a big kid; a friend had wanted to celebrate a recent event in her life and had wanted to celebrate in the most fun way possible.
Loving Right Now - Special Touch Designs
I came across Special Touch Designs (“Special Touch”) while browsing on Etsy; I was searching for a unique card for a friend’s upcoming wedding.
Loving Right Now - Soul Rich
It’s been a while since I acquired a mixtape; these days I tend to listen to music via YouTube or Soundcloud. But when a music artist makes quality music, it’s worth supporting their progression by purchasing their music.
I’ve been following 4i, an up and coming London rapper for a while; he is definitely one to watch.

Street Feast - Dalston Yard, London
My sister and I spent last Friday evening at Street Feast, which is night food market, showcasing the best of street food. Dining in London is not just about sitting in restaurants under artificial or dimmed lights....sometimes it's about congregating in random places (like disused car parks, warehouse and open spaces) and eating under the stars with great (or tolerable lol!) people. Provided the weather is good of course; and luckily for London we have had a late injection of Summer!
Loving Right Now: Skinny Burgers
As
you can tell from my previous posts, I’m a bit of a foodie…. I especially love
my burgers. Whoever invented the concept of the burger was a genius!
Whenever
I casually meet with friends, simple & affordable food is usually on the
agenda. Burgers often fits that criteria. Even with the rise of the ‘gourmet
burger’ there are many places to eat a burger that won’t burn a hole in your
purse.

None of Dem
Last Saturday of my usual morning workout, I went in search of a bacon buttie (bacon sandwich) with a friend. We ended up in some kooky café in Bow, where the above song was playing.
Robyn is one of the great things to come from Sweden. ABBA and Ikea are other great exports. Thanks Sweden!
Loving Right Now: All About the Girls!
For the past few weeks I have been watching two shows:
Girls
Girls
The first show is Girls, a HBO Original Production, shown on Sky Atlantic in the UK.

It's basically about 4 20something girls living in Brooklyn, NYC and how they muddle through life.
It is dare I say, the poor girl's Sex and the City. The sex is there, as are the dysfunctional relationships and comedic situations. But lacking are the sexy, power jobs with a wardrobe to match..... and I like that. I think this show relates to a lot of girls in the Western World - the perils of dating, the perils of relationships, the perils of obtaining that dream career while interning for nothing. The characters have flaws; I'm sure that watching the show you would be able to identify with some of the personality quirks and issues that the girls have, whether in yourself or in people around you. The show is very realistic and it has received positive reviews around.
My favourite character is Shoshanna - she talks too fast, but she's so innocent! I think there's a lot of potential for her character.
Some Girls
Another show which has just finished its first season is a British Production called Some Girls, which is shown on BBC3 in the UK.
It's about 4 school girls who aren't particularly cool - Viva the 'do-gooder', Amber the 'air-head sex bunny', Holli the 'gangster' and Saz the 'often ignored maths swot'. They are friends and in the girls football team. The episodes consist of typical teenage problems such as bullying, losing one's virginity, family, trying to be cool etc....
Quite frankly,this show is just hilarious! Every episode has had me in stitches; I really hope that BBC3 commission a new series. It's as funny as Channel 4's show called PhoneShop (UK production). Amber and Holli are the funniest characters - they may not be the smartest in the group, but they are adventurous (to put it mildly!) and ultimately they are good people. I can definately relate to Viva - she's a goody two shoes, with high ambitions but at the same time she wants to be exciting and can't help liking a 'bad boy' (oh, memories!)
Bothshoes shows have been a hit with me and I look forward to future series x

Loving Right Now: Skrillex & Damien Marley
i'm not sure how I could really describe this song; it's just epic:
This song regularly makes the playlist while doing my NTC workout - the beat and the bass really gets my body moving and it gives me energy to keep going a bit longer. I practically beg my trainer to let me have a copy of her playlist so I can download the songs!
While Dubstep has its roots in Europe, Skrillex has really created a great, energetic song; Damien Marley's lyrics perfects the song.
Got Love for Dubstep? Can you recommend any more tunes for me?
