REVIEWED: Leonardo Hotel and Spa, St Pauls
A beautiful and central spa hotel in the city. When it comes to having the mentality of “you work hard you deserve a treat”, I think God blessed me with a little extra. And as you’ll know if you have read my Trip CBD drink review, I don’t drink alcohol so when it comes to […]

Why I Think Will Smith Was Right
“It’s only TWO FLOORS, think of the STEPS”. The comment was aimed at me. I was waiting in the lift lobby of my building, to go down two floors. I get it, I do. Outwardly, I look like a normal, healthy 34-year-old person. But I suffer from endometriosis, which renders me so anaemic, taking iron […]
