Why Suits Is The Best Show

-
Today I thought I would write about what is, in my opinion, the best series on TV. Suits, if you haven't heard of it, is a legal drama about a law firm in New York. I could write pages on what I love about the show, but I've narrowed it down to my top few reasons because I'm sure you don't want to read pages of me fangirling. 
- The characters are incredible. Every character in the show has such a distinct character, and you just fall in love with some of them (I want my very own Louis Litt). Seeing how powerful Harvey Specter and Jessica Pearson are provides so much motivation to be successful in life. That seems really weird (I do know the story is made up) but there are people like that in the world and it would be amazing to be like them.

- It's not just about corporate men in suits, feminism is a strong theme in the show. Jessica Pearson symbolises how powerful women can be. There is this idea that for certain ages, races and genders there is a 'glass roof' of how high of a position someone can reach, for example- how many female investment bankers do you know? The fact that Jessica Pearson, a black female in America, is the managing partner of the top law firm in New York shows how hard work pays off no matter what age, gender or race you are.

- You learn a lot, especially about the legal system. That may seem boring, and before I started watching it I thought 'a show about Law?? There's nothing that would bore me more' but here I am dedicating a post to it! You also learn to appreciate the choices people make, shown by the different cases and situations in the show.

- There's a bit for everyone, no matter what other TV genres you like. Obviously the main story lines are to do with law cases, but there are so many side stories and romances which make the whole thing so much more interesting! As the seasons go on, you get deeper into the history of specific characters which help explain why they are the way they are.

- The wardrobe for the characters is AMAZING. I would kill for some of the outfits they wear. It makes you think about how important dress choices can be, first impressions and all that.

- The characters have my dream life- high flying career, living in NYC, amazing clothes, busy lives, living in penthouses... I'm not saying I'll end up living like that, but I'd like to think it's a possibility!

 I'm probably not selling it very well and am being quite vague, but I don't want to give anything away if you do decide to watch it. The episodes are quite long and there are 5 seasons, but if you are bored and need a TV series to binge watch (we've all been there) I 100%  recommend Suits, you won't regret it- just ask the people I have got into watching it ☺

The one with Friends Fest

-

Remember in secondary school when teachers made you say a 'fun fact' about yourself as an ice-breaker? Well, mine was always that I could quote any F.R.I.E.N.D.S episode. So when I managed to get Friends Fest tickets this year you can imagine how hyped I was!  It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I've been waiting for this day for years. We went to the Friends Fest in Kenington Park, London but there are locations all over the UK. The doors opened at 12 and we had a set tour at  pretty much as soon as we arrived. The set tour was probably my favourite part of the whole thing! It was 30 minutes long, with 10 minutes in each of Joey and Chandler's, Ross' and Rachel and Monica's apartments which felt surreal. I was amazed at how much detail they had put into the sets - they even filled up Joey's fridge with take away boxes. I loved seeing all the original props (including Phoebe's guitar and my personal favourite Pat the Dog). T

A Guide To Kolkata Street Food

Indian street food- delicious, quick and incredibly cheap. Need any more convincing? One of the things I most look forward to when we visit Kolkata (after seeing family of course) is the street food. There's nothing like it. Different parts of India have specialties, and here is your guide to street food in Kolkata, in the East of India. You've probably heard about food poisoning from street food (and true, I did get food poisoning this time), but in general if you follow take these precautions you should be safe. Don't ever drink water unless you've seen it's been filtered or is sealed bottled water. If you've seen Slumdog Millionaire you'll see that sometimes they put tap water into bottles and pass it off as mineral water! This applies to food as well- if there is ANY water in your street food, do not eat it If the food is on a plate that has just been washed, make sure to wipe any excess water off it so it doesn't contaminate the food Only

Bababoom, Islington London

As much as I love a Nandos, I'm all about experimenting with different flavours and cuisines. This weekend, I decided to branch out to an experimental Kebab place in Islington called Bababoom. It was a cosy restaurant about 5 minutes away from Highbury and Islington station. The music playing was so vibrant, and I actually found their Spotify playlist on their website which most restaurants don't do!  The menu itself was quite limited, but despite this I was still stuck between all of the choices. I ended up going for the s affron and orange chicken shish and  the Baba's fries (with house dukkah- I don't know what this actually was but it tasted amazing). The portion sizes were good and both the kebab and fries were really well spiced. I also tried the broadbean falafel with sweet potato hummus, which was so good! This was the first falafel variation I've tried and it definitely did not disappoint. The hummus was amazing as well.  I couldn
