Recent Reads

It's no secret that I am a huge bookworm and have been reading an impressive amount of books (in my opinion) this year. I've always read a lot, but 2019 has been the best year in a long time. I've already had to move my Goodreads goal once this year, and I'm looking forward to seeing how many more books I can get through before the end of the year. I have decided that I would like to share more of my reading on here, so when I read a few good books, I'll update you on my recent reads. So let's crack on with the books I've picked up since returning from my holiday.

Saturday Night Fever | Mayflower Theatre

Saturday Night Fever - it's a film that everyone knows, even if, like me, you've never sat down and watched it. John Travolta + dancing to hits by The Bee Gees + that iconic white suit, how could you not know the name? Despite not seeing the film, I knew I really wanted to see the stage show when it arrived in Southampton, so I was grateful to be invited to the Mayflower Theatre for press night*.

Rock of Ages | Mayflower Theatre

I will readily admit that deep inside there is 80s rock lover just dying to get out. I've always had a bit of a thing for 80s rock music, mostly due to my dad playing it a lot while I was growing up, and when I was at college I was desperate to see Rock Of Ages when it was released in cinemas. Unfortunately, I never got round to it, but when I saw the musical was coming to the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton, I knew I'd have to attend. I was very grateful to receive an invitation to the show for Southampton Bloggers*.

Summer Scents

I love perfume, and finding different scents for the different times of the year. When the weather starts getting a bit brighter and warmer, my perfume taste changes, to a lighter, more floral scent. I've picked out three that are my favourites for this time of year, to point you in the right direction if you're looking for a new scent for summer.
