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.

Tate Lates
That was the WhatsApp message that I received from my sister at 5:13pm on the last Friday of February 2018. I had intended to go straight home and get a takeaway and fall asleep on the sofa while Will and Grace was being recorded……..
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.
Nike Run Club - London's Fastest
13 August 2017 was all about London’s Fastest, hosted by Nike at the Tate Modern.
Nike Run Club invited runners to form their own crews and take on a 5K in Central London which started and finished in the Tate Modern.
Igbo Festival of Arts & Culture, London
The Summer weather has been kind to London, though at times brutally humid (I have been working in an office with NO air con and the window is dodgy). There are so many events and festivals going on…. Most of my weekends have had me out and about celebrating weddings and christenings and births.
Last weekend I went to the Igbo Festival of Arts & Culture (“the Igbo Festival”) in Charlton Park, South London. While born, raised and living in the UK, my ethnic background is Nigerian, specifically Igbo, which is one of many tribes in Nigeria. Igboland is based in Southeastern Nigeria.
Roma with my Momma
It has been donkey’s years since I travelled abroad with my Mum; she usually travels once a year to Nigeria on what I like to call an “extended family visit” to see her mum and family. For the last 10 years I have travelled with friends, for both long haul holiday and city breaks. I thought it was about time she indulged in a City Break, so one of my goals for 2017 was to take her on a short break.
I decided to take her to Rome as I felt it was quite “Mummy friendly” and we would both appreciate the sights. It would be our first time visiting and experiencing the city and country.
I Am A Spartan! Spartan Super 2015
I thought that running a half marathon would be one of the most the physically challenging event I would do this year. And it was…until I, in a team of 5 other nutters did the Spartan Super Race last Sunday at Ashburnham Place.
Dublin Dash
Last weekend I visited Dublin. I went to take part in the Rock n Roll Dublin Half Marathon (more on that later) and to for birthday celebrations of a friend, but also to have a bit of a break – affordable mind. I was with great company; friends and fellow runners from Nike+ Run Club Stratford (aka #e20Tigers).
Afro Hair and Beauty Live 2015
I went to Afro Hair and Beauty Live last Bank Holiday weekend; the last time I went was in 2012. I previously wrote about AHB Live in 2012 which you can check out here.
