The 15 in 2015

  New Years, how dare you be looming upon us once again?! It seems like only yesterday I was ringing in 2014 and only a short time before that I was cowering under a table welcoming in the year 2000.

27 in 27: The “done” list

  In honour of my impending 27th birthday I came up with this idea to help “celebrate”.

Book Review: The Overnight Socialite
