One of my fave series as a teen as they were short enough to hold my shockingly short attention span.
βDelia can’t stop reading the old diary which mysteriously appears in her locker one day. Little by little, she starts to become more like the girl whose words she reads – even having her memories and seeing the world through her eyes. A dead girl’s eyes. Soon Delia is convinced that she was the girl who wrote the diary – in a past life.β – Goodreads
But the terror is about to come alive once more. For the girl who wrote the diary was murdered.
The Diary by Sinclair Smith has a mild fantasy-horror vibe. Itβs fairly predictable but in an enjoyable way and has a few good twists near the end, which I didnβt see coming.
I love sushi but was finding it hard to get interesting, vegetarian sushi etc. delivered to East-Central Manchester, until I found Honi Sushi on Deliveroo. They are a London sushi restaurant who have now branched out, up North.
My Order
Sea Salted Edamame (they come in the pods so you bite the ends off and squeeze out the beans, a nice thing to occupy yourself with when watching trashy TV), with Spicy Sauce (one little taste made my whole head feel like a volcano!)
Avocado Roll x6
Vegetable Special Roll x 5
Strawberry Cheesecake Mochi (little, squishy balls of heaven)
This is the freshest and most creative veggie sushi Iβve eaten for a long time!
Honi Sushi has had 15% off its entire menu for a while now, which Iβm glad about as I hate paying restaurant prices for takeaway (when there is also a minimum order price and delivery charge).

I also recommend Sake, 4 Ashton Rd, Droylesden, Mcr
I would love to say that I have the skill, and letβs face it, patience to create something as rad a these two but they were bought from Evrika Apparelover on Etsy.
You can choose what pattern and colour combo you want but as they are hand tyedyed to order, they will come out slightly different, making each one totally unique!
The tees themselves are fairly soft and great quality, so I think Iβll still be wearing these when Iβm a grungy granny, zooming around on my mobility scooter lol
Not sure why my iPad camera has made the one on the left appear more green, when itβs really blue π
Iβd love to know if you have tried tyedye yourself and the results?
Even if you have a vegetarian, gluten-free and/or dairy-free diet (mine is for ethical and food intolerance reasons), there are still so many things you can eat! So I thought Iβd share my tiny fridge and stupidly large cupboard with you.
Top (left to right) Nairnβs Whole Grain (gf) Crackers, Momasa Lemon and Peppercorn tortilla chips, Biona Fruit Bears, Kind Dark Choc, Nuts & Sea Salt, Pulsin Brownie Peanut & Choc Chip.
Middle Asda Sesame Oil, Felippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Wicked Kitchen Garlic and Herb Nooch (nutritional yeast which gives things a cheesy taste like mild Parmesan), Nice and Easy Cheese Flavour Sauce Mix, Amyβs Kitchen Tomato Soup, Amyβs Kitchen Lentil Soup, Amoy Rice Noodles.
Middle shelf Olives, bananas (no idea ?!), more beer, guacamole, humus, halloumi (the blokes), Vivera kebab strips.
Bottom shelf Always some kind of energy drink, cranberry and apple sauce, jars of antipasti, spring onions, bell (sweet) pepper.
In the door Fresh orange and mango juice, eye gel (so cooling!), Mayo, sriracha, chilli oil.
Nearly every item here was bought from either Asda, Morrisonβs or Tesco but the dairy free guacamole was from Ocado (as I donβt have the time and energy to make it myself).
I hope this post helps to make any transitions in your diet and/or lifestyle a little easier!
Every now and then I fancy a change from soft grunge/goth and crave some colour so I bought this gorgeous maxi from Shiva Moon on Etsy. They sell handmade, individual dresses and are lovely, helpful people.
As the weather gets cooler Iβm going to style this with my trusty mini black cape/shrug and black cage-toe sandals with black socks or tights.
Iβm 5β8 and the hem is just below ankle length so they are perfect for us tall girls that are used to dealing with odd/unflattering skirt lengths.
Jewellery is a mish-mash of festival and charity shop finds and presents.
This Hydrating Core Lipshine from @elfcosmetics is the best tinted lipbalm Iβve used for a very longtime.
This stick is hydrating anyway but the adorable little heart in the middle gives even more hydration.
There are a good choice of colours but seeing as we are going into Autumn I chose this burgundy, bordering on burnt-orange shade called βHappyβ. It looks warm and naturally flattering on darker skin tones or more vibrant and vampy on paler skin tones. These Lip Shines have a good depth of colour which is easily buildable.
This can get a bit messy and donβt expect it to dry down but itβs not sticky and doesnβt have a funky smell or flavour so I love it!
