I walked into my first Pilates class and thought, “How hard could this be?”, but five minutes in, I was shaking like a leaf, while the Instructor calmly said, “Engage your core”. My core had definitely taken the day off. Outside the studio in Cheltenham, the rain tapped against the window and gentle music played in the background with […]
Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 Not only does this restaurant offer affordable prices for students, it’s also a lovely spot to have a homemade Italian dinner. The aroma of freshly prepared pizza dough and margarita sauce drifted over as I opened the door of the newly built Franco Manca in Cheltenham. The buzz of the room struck me […]
Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 There are so many different artists who conform to the Irish folk genre of music, but none of them have contorted the style of the genre the way CMAT, Ciera Mary-Alice Thompson, has in her most recent album, If My Wife New I’d Be Dead. Thompson has always been an open book when […]
Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 Role-playing games are almost always fantasy based. They’re also almost always set in a world that pre-dates our own, containing all kinds of medieval or ancient weaponry that we would only be able to see in museums. Take The Elder Scrolls, Kingdom Come, or Dark Souls for example. In this review, we’ll be […]
Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 Spoiler warning There was a lot of pressure on the producers of this fantasy epic. As an award winning book series already treasured by its numerous fans, they would need to deliver the vision that we all had when reading the trilogy. And did they deliver?

Rating: 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑 What would you expect from the second cheapest Maserati? Italian passion and elegance at a (slightly) lower price? Speed? Beauty? Quality? Well, you’d be wrong. It’s none of those things. The Ghibli was released in 2013 as an attempt for the brand to sell more cars. Immediately, motoring journalists tore it to shreds- they […]
Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 0151, The Night Cafe (2019), is an album that has flown under the radar of the vast majority of music enjoyers. The Night Café falls under the Indie and British Rock genres, and whilst many artists under these deserve more recognition, I believe 0151 has enough to please any listener. The album contains […]
Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 The first iPad mini was unveiled in October 2012 and was a copy of the original iPad just smaller. Since then, Apple have released 5 more generations of the iPad mini. The iPad mini 5 uses the same body shape as the previous generations, with the classic look with Touch ID in the […]
Review: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑 I can 100% honestly say that Piranesi is the book that rekindled a love for reading that I had thought I lost a long time ago. But what is it about this fantasy novel that I found so captivating? Piranesi’s opening chapter is described by many as a “slow burn,” but I found […]
Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 When it comes to tattoos, Cheltenham is certainly not short of options, with plenty of shops distributed in the South-Western town. One of these is the charming Blood and Honey studio. Located at 51 Winchcombe St., this pleasant parlour works honestly, day in and day out, to keep their art fresh, unique, and […]
