You've probably noticed recently that Kesha has made a comeback, releasing 4 new music videos/singles from her new album titled, 'Rainbow'. It has already hit number 1 on the billboard charts, with her debut single 'Praying' gaining over 33 million views on YouTube in one month. You're also probably wondering why on Earth I'm writing a blog about her. Well, if you've been following her court case recently like I have, then you'll have a pretty good idea at what I'm going to be writing about here. For those of you don't, here goes; Back in 2014, Kesha Rose Sebert filed a lawsuit against her music producer, Dr Luke (real name Lukasz Gottwald) for 'mental manipulation, emotional abuse and sexual assault'. One statement from the court papers reads; “ [On another occasion] after forcing Mr Sebert to drink with him, Dr Luke instructed Ms Sebert to take what he described as 'sober pills' in order for her to...

For the second time this year, I visited Amsterdam. The first time I went was back in March, where I only managed to spend 5 hours wandering around the Rijks museum and Hard rock cafe before we were forced to head back to our coach. Although my time was so limited, I felt like I got a real sense of what The Netherlands was like; efficient, yet laid back. Vast, but littered with narrow streets. And of course, beautiful.  (Back in March, looking like a dork 😎) This time, I went with my best friend Annie. On the Sunday I headed down to London to stay with her and prepare for our journey on the Eurostar the next morning. The weather was great, blue skies and sunshine. Like any other holiday, it felt like forever getting through customs and passport checks before we got on the train. I was exhausted from the night before, so for most of the journey I had my sleeping mask on and my head down. Annie was practically vibrating with excitement, painting her nails and readin...

A couple of weeks ago, I made the drastic decision to cut my hair. Like, all of it. Once my hairdresser was finished, I loved it so much that when she took the cloak off me, I welled with tears. I felt beautiful, for the first time in such a long, long time. I have always hated my hair. It is thick, and curly and I cannot do anything with it at all, except quiff it back or straighten it to death. For years and years I have longed to grow it out, way past my shoulders, and arms, so long that I could sit on it. But whenever it does get pretty lengthy (ha ha) I end up cutting it off. And then, a few months into my new short hair do, I end up regretting it. “ Why, oh why did I cut off my luscious long locks? If I'd have left it, I would have mermaid hair by now! Wah wah” (isn't hind sight a bitch! Especially when it comes to haircuts.) So. you're probably wondering now, why on earth did you do it again? Why did you go for the chop? Aren't you going to r...
