Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands, has long been one of my favourite films, and no…not just because of Johnny Depp (although obviously he had a LOT to do with it). Aside from the heart wrenching storyline, Danny Elfman’s beautifully haunting soundtrack captivated me even as a child and I still can’t watch…
It’s CHRISTMAS! The season of goodwill and…shopping. Every year I waddle through the shopping masses, wondering are we now so consumed by our materialistic needs that we have forgotten what Christmas is all about? The festive frivolities may be in full swing, but it is hard to pretend that we…

If you are thinking about buying a diamond for someone special this Christmas (or for yourself!) look no further than the Jewellers of Bond Street. In another issue of STATUS Magazine I researched the top jewellers in London to see if diamonds really are a girl’s best friend.

Not being a…
This summer I decided to organise a bit of island hopping and tick off a few more ‘Must See’ places on my growing bucket list. It all started in my Greek (Cypriot) man’s homeland of Cyprus but I managed to steer him away from the delights of Nissi Beach and head…

So you’ve waxed your legs (or chest), treated yourself to a manicure, dolled out the euros/dollars/etc, and packed the suitcase. Now all that remains is the most important task of all: Downloading a whole new set of books onto your kindle. While I still prefer a nice, clean-smelling paperback, I…
Hands up. Who likes to be criticised, even positively? Anyone? No, neither do I. *Reaches for the ouzo bottle*. Unfortunately, when you put your work out into the public forum criticism will inevitably come, and it won’t always be positive or constructive.
The Ancient Greeks were famed for being the founding fathers of western civilisation and democracy. Most ancient Greeks were educated and as we know, many became hugely influential philosophers.
