If you know me, you’ll know I’ve always had a soft spot for Disney. But there’s one princess who’s been my number one since childhood: Ariel. 🧜‍♀️💖 I don’t think I knew why at the time — I just loved her. The red hair, the seashells, the way she looked at the world with such… Read more

📰 Throwback: The Autism Magazine I Made in College Not all my nostalgia comes from TV shows and pop bands — sometimes it’s the little projects I threw myself into that feel the most special. One of those was the autism magazine I designed back in college, which I called Autzine. (Okay, maybe a slightly… Read more

🎤 Forgotten Boyband Gems We’d Still Scream For The 00s were a golden age for boybands — but not all of them got to ride the JLS/Blue/Westlife wave.

From the first time I heard Bring It All Back, I knew S Club weren’t just another pop group — they were going to be part of my story. And they were. They were my Saturdays on CBBC, my Woolies CD singles, my glittery school disco soundtrack. They gave me joy in S Club Party… Read more

I know I talk a lot about my past phobia of balloons but… honestly, it shaped my entire party personality. Everyone else saw balloons and thought: “Yay, fun!” Meanwhile, my brain went: “Nope. Absolutely not.” Looking back, it’s not hard to see why: “Balloon? More like landmine waiting to detonate mid–Cha Cha Slide.” — Daisy… Read more
