Boston Baked Betrayal: A Look at Nikki Bella's Villainous Turn
The November 10, 2025 edition of Monday Night Raw will forever be remembered as one of the most magical Raws in WWE history. It started off on a magical note already. John Cena, for the first time in his storied and iconic career, finally... finally captured the Intercontinental Championship. He did it! He completed the Grand Slam, joining the prestigious list that includes Edge, Jeff Hardy, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, and someone who we are still mourning 20 years later, Eddie Guerrero. Raw kicked off with something that I had been waiting at least a decade for.

Stop Harassing Women who Smoke
I could have smoked three cigarettes for how long it took me to find the right image to put with this article. I'm sure the AI generators don't struggle like I do trying to force an image into the pixel spot wanting a specific mood/look but not getting the number of pixels correct. Ugh. Ok, now that I've vented, what was I wanting to talk about today? Oh yeah, women who smoke. I did not light a cigarette while I wrote this venting prelude paragraph. I just wanted you to know that because as I move on to the next paragraph, I'm going to refill my coffee cup and then light a cigarette.

Wayne, An underrated, Under viewed, Gem.
These days, a good TV show is incredibly hard to find; my Netflix watch history could probably prove my point. It’s because of this rarity that I’m here to tell you about a true diamond in the rough and its title is “Wayne”.

Throwing Stones
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven from Stranger Things) talks on Instagram I don't know about you but at the moment, I am constantly questioning people's motivations for things. Is it a state of the world thing? Maybe. I think that it is also to do with a recent surge in my consumption of videos in the last couple of days after the debacle in the Oval Office. But that's another story.

Why I’m Choosing White Gold Over Yellow Gold for My Wedding Band (And Why You Should Too)
In the world of wedding planning, every choice feels like a monumental decision. Should the flowers be peonies or roses? Should the cake be lemon or classic vanilla? But for me, the most stressful decision wasn't about the party—it was about the piece of jewellery I’d have to look at every single day for the rest of my life.

Why I’m Choosing a Diamond Band Over a Solitaire: A Lesson in Practical Luxury
There is a weight to the word "forever." In the UK, we are often taught that this weight should be reflected in the size of a diamond perched on a platinum claw. But as I sat in a small jeweller's shop last month, staring at a stunning 2-carat solitaire, I felt... nothing. Well, not nothing—I felt a sense of looming anxiety.

Three Actresses, Two Faces, One Memorable Character: A Look at Neely Capshaw
In all of my stories about Cobra Kai, I've said that watching that show back in September 2023 helped me get through an illness I had. It was around Labor Day Weekend that I was watching that awesome show, and it was at that same time that I was sick to the point where I thought I had COVID for the second time (I first caught it on November 1, 2022). So yeah, Cobra Kai was a show that helped. It wasn't the only one.
