A travel guide to Firenze Schiacciata
A recent trip to Florence offered all the beauty of art and architecture that we were hoping for, but I’m sure it has been spoken about at length by far too many people to warrant another person waxing lyrical on Botticelli’s Venus or Michaelangelo’s David. Instead, I have decided to wax lyrical on Tuscany’s famous sandwich, the schiacciata, a focaccia

Running Nowhere: Healing your avoidant behaviour
The development of cultural psychology is instrumental in uncovering the abstract universal laws of human behaviour, where elements such as meaning, goals, creativity, and culture are integrated into the central framework of emotional design.

Haim are back…and celebrating singlehood!!
Produced by Danielle Haim, and Rostam Batmanglij, the track introduces a blend of pop, R & B, and funk. Lyrically, it’s catchy (I keep singing the chorus over and over again!!) and captures the complexities of desiring love but not wanting a relationship. It is the soundtrack of warm summer evenings, windows rolled down and surrounded by close friends. “Relationships” feels spontaneous and mesmerising, and it is sure to be a hit song this summer!

Kids in America: How Motherhood Became Political Under Trump
“I actually don’t know anyone who’s, like, happy and has children at this age,” she continued. Roan is currently 27, the average age of first-time mothers in the US according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While Roan later clarified in the episode that her friends with kids are “in hell” because they care for and love their children, her comments did stoke online debate surrounding motherhood.

Review: Mike White’s ‘The White Lotus’ (Season 3)
Mike White’s The White Lotus has, for many years, depicted the monstrosity of affluence among wealthy Americans. From Hawaii to Sicily, we were rocked by the twists and turns of events throughout their stay at the iconic hotel. Season 3, now set in Thailand, was perhaps the most hotly anticipated TV series this year, and it certainly did not disappoint! We were introduced, yet again, to another ensemble of wealthy Americans eager to put their minds at rest from their everyday

Andor Season 1; A Retrospective Review
I was initially dismissive of “Andor” when it was announced in late 2018. Looking back, I’m not sure exactly why. The debut season of ‘The Mandalorian’ had been out for a while, made the rounds online, and came out on the whole in rather good standing, which goes to show that stand-alone Star Wars spin-offs featuring original characters (or very nearly original in this case) could work.

A Mistaken Review: Jeff Wall, Life in Pictures
I have forgotten where the White Cube is in Bermondsey and my friends turn right before I realise we are there. The courtyard outside is deceptively empty and we are immediately hit by crowds as we enter the gallery to see Jeff Wall’s exhibition, A Life in Pictures, celebrating 30 years of collaboration between artist and gallery. Born in 1946, Jeff Wall is best known for his backlit transparencies which he started making in 1978, referencing cinema, classical paintings and l
