VE Day in Lockdown
VE Day (or Victory in Europe Day) on the 8th May will be slightly different this year due to the very necessary lockdown conditions. But that doesn't mean we can't celebrate in style!

From 12 Yards
Mark and Andy From 12 Yards first met working for a graphic design company and found quite quickly they had two things in common; a love of football and a love for design.

4 Ways With Houseplants
With many of us staying at home, and often with limited access to the outdoors in our densely-packed city, what better time to get to know your houseplants better?
Research has shown that being in greener spaces, even indoors, improves mood and reduces stress. And if like me you’re working from home, a greener workspace improves productivity, attention span, and task speed.

Isolation Station
Isolation Station starts tonight for a wknd of music supporting local artists like Fugitive Orchestra and Dutch Criminal Record as well as Raw Kids from Berlin (Who I can't wait to hear live!) In such strange times it's great that music can still be promoted for us to listen to. Ella from 'Missing' Promotions really wanted to do something that involved a live stream that could showcase artists in a fun way and make us feel like we are having a cool wknd! I am totally up for that, are you? This means you can dance along in your kitchen and even get your friends to do the same at their house.

Icebreaker Festival
The end of January saw Icebreaker come back as the South Coast's biggest unsigned band festival. Offering a huge array of talent, from all across the UK, and packing it into a small geographic area means you don't have far to walk to see great bands over the 2 days. Covering just two streets in Southsea and now in its 7th year, I went along to support local musicians as well as unsigned bands from near and far. At £12 a ticket, the value is fantastic for such talented musicians – you’d normally pay that just to see one act on their own!

Seeded De-Stash
Nestled along the gorgeous Old Portmsouth architecture, the unassuming Square Tower is full of rich history. But on 2nd February 2020, it was also full of something else… Crafters!

The Problem With Plastic
If you haven’t heard the various news stories about plastic waste in our seas, fish, and food then I can assure you: the news is upsetting. If like many of us, you are concerned about plastic waste (but don’t know what to do about it) then I have some exciting news for you: a team of local creatives has made something new, something that will let you directly influence how waste is dealt with in Portsmouth.

The Lagoon at SBH
The Lagoon is tucked away discreetly in the back of the shop. I filled out the necessary forms and was invited in to make myself comfortable whilst Susie introduced herself. The space is incredibly chilled out, as is the shop to be honest! Low ceiling, candle burning, music on and painted a deep, gorgeous blue that was so calming without feeling dark and oppressive in a smaller space.
