Hiatus

February 6, 2018 In Becky's Head2 Comments

It’s time for my blog to take a break. No big deal, just that sometimes blogging is fun and every now and then it’s less fun. I’m going to stop posting for a bit until I feel like it again. In the meantime, I can be found almost everywhere else on the internet, including Twitter,… Continue reading Hiatus

Book review: The Complete Persepolis

February 4, 2018February 4, 2018 In Becky's Head2 Comments

Here’s a rare exaple of me: 1) breaking my book buying ban for something that isn’t a book club choice and 2) reading the new book within 6 months of acquiring it. Persepolis had been on my radar for ages and I definitely planned to read it at some point. I saw it was on… Continue reading Book review: The Complete Persepolis

New things I tried in January 2018

January 29, 2018January 28, 2018 In Becky's Head5 Comments

I still find it weird to write 2018 instead of 2017. I guess that’s going to last a while. Anyway, as usual I’m doing a quick roundup of some new things I tried this month. It feels like January has been kind of non-stop, which isn’t great because December was too and, honestly, I need… Continue reading New things I tried in January 2018

Book review: Brighton Rock

January 28, 2018January 27, 2018 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Graham Greene is one of those famous writers who’s name I nknew but who I’d never read. Even though we have at least two books of his on the shelf. When I went to see Travels with my Aunt at the Citz last year, that was the first experience of Greene’s fiction that I’d had.… Continue reading Book review: Brighton Rock

My birthday

January 24, 2018January 24, 2018 In Becky's Head4 Comments

Today is my 29th birthday. It doesn’t feel like it. Perhaps because it’s a Wednesday and I as such I have distributed plans for celebration. I went to see my dad last weekend, this weekend I’ll hang out with P and some friends (although, I’m meeting friends for DnD that was organised ages ago and… Continue reading My birthday

Reading in Heels

January 13, 2018January 12, 2018 In Becky's Head3 Comments

One of the things I was lucky enough to get for Christmas was a subscription to Reading in Heels from P. I’d been feeling a bit stuck in a rut with my GlossyBox subscription and I was looking for something new, something that suited me better. He found this service and asked if I was… Continue reading Reading in Heels

Dinner at Papavero, Edinburgh

January 12, 2018January 11, 2018 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Last weekend P and I celebrated having spent 6 years together (I know, I’m still reeling too). We’d booked into the lovely Nira Caledonia for an evening spent drinking prosecco in a hot tub but hadn’t bothered to book a restaurant. One advanatage of having an anniversary in January is that we rarely do need… Continue reading Dinner at Papavero, Edinburgh

The first short to-read list of 2018!

January 11, 2018January 10, 2018 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Last year I made my very long to-read list more manageable by periodically selecting ten books to read from it. That way, instead of having to pick from nearly 100 books, I only had to pick from 10, which is a much easier choice. Plus, I could select those ten books in advance, to make… Continue reading The first short to-read list of 2018!

Nira Caledonia

January 10, 2018January 9, 2018 In Becky's Head8 Comments

Last Friday P and I celebrated having spent 6 years together. Six whole years! How the time has flown. Hard to believe it’s gone so quickly but then, I’m sure I’ll be saying the same thing next year, and the year after, and the year after that… Anyway, usually we’d mark the occasion with dinner… Continue reading Nira Caledonia

Product review: Chanel Gabrielle

January 9, 2018January 7, 2018 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

I think I was in an airport, of all places, when I first spotted that Chanel had released a new fragrance. Airport or not, I’m certain that the first thing I did was wander over to try it on. Because how could you not? FYI, Gabrielle was Coco’s real name. I’ve always been a bit… Continue reading Product review: Chanel Gabrielle
