Urie Diaries: A Day in London

Urie Diaries: A Day in London

It’s been so long since I have written an entry for ‘Urie Diaries,’ so I thought today would be a good chance to revisit the series. The 9th of April was the beginning of our Easter break, so I thought I’d come home. At first, I […]

Philippines: An Unforgettable Summer

Philippines: An Unforgettable Summer

Waking up to bitterly cold, rainy and gloomy weather hasn’t put me in high spirits lately. I have found it quite tricky to get out of bed. Not only is it comfortable, but I dread picking out layers and layers of outfits to keep me […]

Valentine’s Day Ideas

Valentine’s Day Ideas

Although it is a day after Valentine’s once you read this, I couldn’t help but write one more Valentine’s-related blog (and probably another one next week. I mean, to be fair, February is the month of “love”). Therefore, as you probably saw from the title, […]

Uriel’s clothes… and other things that matter

Uriel’s clothes… and other things that matter

I was in the midst of reading Alexandra Shulman’s autobiography ‘Clothes… and other things that matter’ when I realised that I could write a similar thing. I’m not an Editor-in-Chief for Vogue like Shulman, but like every other human being on Earth, I do hold sentimental value […]

A Christmas but not-so Christmas memory

A Christmas but not-so Christmas memory

With Christmas just around the corner, I thought it would be an excellent and funny idea to share with you one of the most memorable and possibly stupidest (but funny though!) Christmas memories from when I was a child.  Christmas is always my favourite holiday […]

Netflix ‘Midnight Mass’ Review

Netflix ‘Midnight Mass’ Review

Yes. I’m well aware that I’m three months late to the trend. I have that mulish habit of rewatching TV series and films three times a month, but of course, no shame in that.  For people who haven’t heard of Midnight Mass, it’s a Netflix miniseries […]

Hello and welcome to the second part of the Urie Diaries series! Today, I will be sharing with you my days that passed three weeks ago; without further ado, happy reading!  Wednesday 27 October I boarded the train a few minutes before the departure time, […]

Guy Fawkes Night: Why do we celebrate?

Guy Fawkes Night: Why do we celebrate?

“Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.” Every year on 5 November, Brits gather around and set off a range of rockets and illuminations to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night, which originated […]
