Hi Witches and Wizards (ah the two genders), Happy early Hallowe'en! Hallowe'en is one of my favourite holidays. Whereas some people get down as the leaves change and the temperature drops I thrive on the cold and the spooky. Living in one of the most gothic places in Europe (Edinburgh) definitely helps this.

Lucy Reviews Stuff: Ep 3, Parks and Recreation 9/10
Now don’t let the 9/10 confuse you, this might be my favourite series of all time. The one mark was taken off purely because of the weak first season and lack of gender/sexuality issues shown, but besides these, I can’t fault this series (plus you can skip ahead to season 2 and the series still...

Lucy Reviews Stuff: Ep 2, 13 Reasons Why 2/10 (Trigger Warning: Mental Illness and Suicide)
I had a really hard time choosing the rating for 13 Reasons Why. It has a diverse cast, explores sexuality, tackles how even during adolescence girls are treated in an overtly sexual and disturbing way. It’s also well-written, the acting is flawless, even the soundtrack is good. But I hate the way it portrays mental... Continue Reading →
Lucy Reviews Stuff: Ep 1, Benefit’s Gimme Brow 8/10
Benefit’s Gimme Brow is a ‘brow-volumising fiber gel’ that adds volume to your eyebrows and fills in any little gaps. I recently got my brows waxed for graduation and the beautician made them far too thin, not to mention I already have a fairly pronounced scar running through my right eyebrow. I have been looking...

#NoWrongPath

My teachers? A bad exam? Bad marker? Laziness? Burnout? Stupidity? Just me effortlessly screwing things up... Continue Reading →
Hey Guys
Hey Guys (all genders included- apologies if this makes some of you uncomfortable- if it does, feel free to tell me in the comments and I'll make it more gender-neutral). I've got a song you can listen to while you read this- but if you don't want to, who am I to stop you? Link... Continue Reading →
What Lucy did next…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_aYibUx1B8 Hello lovely people! Look at me! Posting a blog when I said I would! Well, as per usual these days there isn't much to report. I really like my new job. I get up, go to work, come home, cook dinner, go to bed. Repeat. While I do appreciate a good routine, this recurring... Continue Reading →
Guess Who’s Graduating?!
Hi guys! Guess who's been slacking on blogging lately? If you guessed me, then you're right! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRMOMjCoR58 I've officially started my new job, I'm finding my feet, getting used to a new environment. I've moved to Edinburgh full-time and I've basically begun my *adult* life (she says like she didn't watch Spongebob Squarepants for two... Continue Reading →

I got a job! I won't share too much about it, because I found a website where you can send a brick... Continue Reading →
