Cosmopolitan magazine's Media Careers Masterclass

Last night, throngs of London businessmen looked mightily confused as clans of young women gathered outside the Freemason's Hall near Covent Garden. The reason? Cosmopolitan Magazine's Media Career Masterclass.

The evening began with a chance to mingle with the staff of Cosmo, and with the other attendees, after which we all filed into the room to be presented with the panel; a group of people working across different strands of the media industry, from PR, to marketing, journalism and everything in between, led by Louise Court, the editor of Cosmopolitan.

It was interesting to get an overview of many different career paths in media, and for someone who hasn't yet decided what they want to do, it was a very useful event. For those who, like me, have a clear idea of what they want to do, large parts of the evening were irrelevant, but still interesting.

The goody bag was brimming with goodies, but for me, the most exciting part was the bag itself, printed with old Cosmo covers, dating back a good few years:

Today's mouthwatering picture of the day is the selection of chocolate goodies I made at an Easter chocolate workshop at Temper Temper in Southborough. A combination of truffles, florentines, lollies, moulds and chocolate bowls made for a yummy morning.

Happy Easter!! 

Sensorites- Slipstream

Having hit the "Repeat" button on Sensorites' single Fool enough times for even the inanimate objects in my life to know all the lyrics - I defy you to listen to it a couple of times and NOT have it playing in your head for the rest of eternity- I had a dig around their YouTube channel to see what other mischief they've got up to.

Slipstream is not a song for the mild-mannered, as suggested by the single cover. The lyrics aren't quite as catchy as Fool, but the melody is one of those that you'll catch yourself humming half-heartedly as you go about your business, until you get to the two words you do know. You'll sing these words with such oomph and gusto that you'll scare all elderly women and cats within a 2 mile radius.

The more I listen to Sensorites, the more they sound like an awesome Oasis-Scouting for Girls-Arctic Monkeys mash up. And that's OK with me.
