I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m not one for leftovers. They honestly freak me out. Sometimes, though, there is a recipe that requires leftovers. Fried rice is one of those recipes. I’d made fried rice in the past using freshly made rice and it just gums up and gets nasty. With some simple planning, fried rice is now one of my favorite meals of the week.

Muffins make me so happy. With a muffin, you get to walk around like you've got your life together. You're one of those healthy people that maybe bikes to work and always has extra safety pins in her bag in case a hem goes rogue. You whip out that muffin from your immaculately organized bag to fuel you through your morning meeting where you'll use your very large brain to impress many people. You're very important.

When you’re on a budget, there is very little grey area when it comes to new trends - to me they’re either something I love (printed trousers), are hideous (neon), or unwearable if you’re over a certain age (hotpants, brothel creepers and thigh high boots). Just because something looks like it exploded all over the high street, doesn’t mean I want to dress myself in a pair of acid yellow skinny jeans. But still, every season, I like to follow my whims and incorporate a few key items t...

Online social gaming has been all the rage lately. Honestly, I can't keep up with the sheer amount of game requests that clog up my Facebook feed every single day, thanks in part to a lovely mum who is completely obsessed with 'The Sims Social'. There's no denying that we're absolutely in love with badges, points and levelling up on our various chosen platforms. From Foursquare mayorships to Farmville victories; tiny little accomplishments can make us feel good.

Being British means that there are certain areas of American popular culture that elude me. The main one being: why is there a restaurant chain called International House of Pancakes if it only exists in America? IHoP aside, the biggest cultural conundrum to come my way has to be a low key and understated event called the Super Bowl.

As Bitch Magazine has already observed, the sky is blue, water is wet, and the Oscar nominations are a big feminist disappointment. This seems to be the year they officially become as irrelevant as the Grammys, in industry showcase that reflects no vision of reality outside the industrial boardrooms. In a year when awards can be offered ...

When you're a teenager, losing your virginity is often quite a big thing on your agenda. I remember wondering how I'd find a boyfriend, whether it was easy to kiss like they did in the movies and, later on, what on earth I was going to do when it came round to sex. There was always plenty of advice around, but it never seemed to be the right stuff.
