I don’t remember the last time I felt so completely taken by someone on the internet. By taken, I mean shammed, bamboozled, tricked… It all started yesterday morning when I saw this video, made by Jonah Morwry, on George Takei’s Facebook Page… [youtube id=”TdkNn3Ei-Lg” width=”600″ height=”350″] Sad, right? Honestly, I was sobbing my head off watching this video. I shared …

Ever Felt Like You Were Being Watched?
The above photo shows you what I see when I look out my living room window. We live across from a seniors complex and I’ve posted a few times about how I feel a bit like we live in a goldfish bowl. When you are sitting on my sofa, this is what you see… Ok, without the window cleaning brush, …
Read More »Fat Ad Shaming Women?
I just read this article on my beloved ONTD (I LOVE this site, so great for celeb gossip) and I’m all sorts of torn about what I think about it. The gist is, the overweight lady on the bottom of the ad has a website that caters to chubby chasers, people who like big women. She has photos for sale …
Read More »Review: Le Jardin de Saint Adrien
On the same day that my husband and I visited Salagou and Moureze with my mother-in-law, we also went to visit Le Jardin de Saint Adrien. It’s a beautiful privately owned garden that was created from the ruins of an old rock quarry. It is actually someone’s back yard! In the summer months they open it up as a public …
Read More »Have I Been Living in The Netherlands Too Long?
A friend shared this article on Facebook earlier and the list made me laugh a bit because a fair few of them really do apply to me! Some not, but many… oh hell yes. I’m sorry, I just had to stop at number 81 and come back up here to say that this is quite possibly the most ridiculous NL …

So, you’ve recently noticed changes to your homepage on Facebook and you are freaking out. Suddenly you see posts between your friends and people you don’t know, the layout is different, you don’t know where to find what… you are LOSING. YOUR. MIND. First, take a deep breath. It’s not as bad as it seems! Facebook has changed many times …
Read More »Bucket List – My First Pedicure
Last week my friend Penny and I got together for pedicures. It was my very first pedicure ever, can you believe it?! It’s something I’ve always wanted to do but either I didn’t want to spend the money on it or I was freaked out about people messing with my feet. Penny kept pushing me on it, so I finally …
Read More »The Day I Almost Killed a Cyclist
Rant incoming! It’s about people, and how they suck… and the rules of the road in the Netherlands that I just don’t understand! Today my husband and I were driving to the supermarket, and he nearly hit a biker with the car. We both instantly thought that the guy was in the wrong, and apparently he thought the same about …

Living in a flat in Rotterdam brings with it a lot of interesting interactions with neighbours. We have been living in this flat for over ten years and while we do have some really awesome neighbours, we have also had some total jerkoffs, inconsiderate twats (who we totally busted) and royal pains in the ass. There’s one neighbour that I’ve …

So here’s the thing, I couldn’t give a crap about gay marriage. The same goes for polygamy, swingers, open marriages and any other unconventional adult relationship. I think as long as everyone involved are consenting adults, leave them the hell alone. It’s not our business what goes on in other people’s bedrooms and none of us should be able to …
Read More »30 Days of Truth: Day 16
Oh this is going to be a long list. There are a lot of things and people I could most definitely live without!! I could live without the rainy, dreary winter weather here in the Netherlands. Sammi and Ronnie from Jersey Shore. I will admit to watching it when I’ve run out of other shows, and I cannot stand these …
