A first class seat into my head, life experiences and opinions
Seated at the Piano Lounge at the Hilton one evening, Okey and I were mid discussion when he turned to me and asked “do you think I’m f*cked up?” and I replied “aren’t we all a little?“. This I realised after a short while in therapy. Which is so funny…
About a week ago, one of my best girls, Zara and I decided we wanted to have a cry party. Yeah you read that right, we decided we no longer wanted to wear our big girl panties. We decided to call this event of ours “wine & whine” because we…
