Leonard and Eleanor


Unkategorised

Leonard Darcy’s dating life begun at just eleven years old. It was yet another Valentine’s Day and Leonard wasn’t planning on ending this fourteenth of February without a girlfriend; or at least without an attempt at getting one. For a week or so, by this point, he’d noticed a funny feeling in his stomach when […]

My Three Favourite Workout Leggings


The Adventures of a Kathlete

As someone with more than enough workout leggings to go to the gym every day for a week and wear a different pair to each visit, I think I qualify as a personal activewear shopper. Nothing─and I mean nothing─excites me more than a workout in a fresh new pair of leggings. So, what with being a 10/10 leggings […]

Spaghetti for Your Valentine


Kath's Kitchen

Nothing says “you’re all right” like a home-cooked meal; even if the main ingredient is pasta. Light some candles, pop on The Greatest Showman soundtrack and the night’s a good’n. One of my favourite dishes of all time is a dish that involves both pasta and some kind of fish. So, today, I made myself […]

The Hamilton Review


Unkategorised

Over a year ago now, I listened to the Hamilton soundtrack and then I listened to it again. And so begun a love affair that lead me to naming Hamilton my favourite musical (and I love musicals) before I’d even got tickets to see it. Then, not too long ago, I received a message from my brother […]

Feeling 22 | A Cocktail for Me


Kath's Kitchen

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22… It’s my twenty-second birthday and the second blog post of the day. I thought I’d kick twenty-two off with a bang with a whole new blog and, of course, a pink cocktail. Yes, I’ve made my very own birthday cocktail and I want to share the recipe […]

Twenty-two | A Story About Kath (not Kat)


Unkategorised

She straightened her curly-but-not-that-curly hair and blackened the lids and lashes that hugged her blue-but-not-that-blue eyes. She sipped on yellow fizz and scented her neck. She cringed at her pink cheeks and noted that she should later wish away the seemingly always present pigment upon making her eighteenth birthday wish. This particular ninth day of […]

6/52: The Best of Adam Sharp


Kath's Bookshelf

This morning I finished my sixth book of the year, The Best of Adam Sharp by Graeme Simsion. Since deciding to read fifty-two books this year (and, in turn, document my reading adventure over on my Goodreads account) I knew I had to pick up Simsion’s newest book. His book, The Rosie Project is one […]

A Post-Workout Lunch


Kath's Kitchen

Once I’ve taken off my trainers, stretched and recovered (slightly) from a painful workout, I need me some carbs… and I need them quickly. I’ve recently been throwing together this quick dish when a workout has left me ravenous. It’s very much inspired by my favourite Joe Wick’s recipe and a veggie dish my mum […]

How to Wake up Early to Workout


The Adventures of a Kathlete

Although I used to prefer working out in the afternoon or evening, I now like starting the day by upping my heart rate. Recently, however, I’ve been trying to get into the habit of waking up in the early hours to workout. It’s something I find far more natural in the warmer months but something […]

A Guide: How I Rate Books on Goodreads


Kath's Bookshelf

I have recently revived my Goodreads account. This decision came about when I decided to read fifty-two books this year. I have since realised that this little challenge has become an exercise whereby I practice and endeavour to improve my book reviewing. I’m not naturally very good at it but I want to become a […]
