If only life was like the movies. Remember the opening scene to The Devil Wears Prada?

It’s true, isn’t it?

A lot can happen in a decade. Its funny when you realise it’s been 10 years since a certain event, you tend to reflect on the past decade which is a lot different to looking back on the year that’s been every New Years Eve. Its 2020 next year so many of you will remember […]
