Sometimes I forget to count my blessings but when I am reminded of them, I embrace them full heartedly. A shoot with Xin bebe, brings so much laughter to my eyes as she charms everyone in the room including the hair and makeup that has the tendency to be slightly snide and catty. But everyone melts in putty when she’s around. A short scoot about Topshop where I put a new skirt of clubbing and work (the perks of the job) and stuffing our faces with pizza and pasta al fresco.

And a short e-mail that just brings me back to the days when we went to Chinese and Physics tuition together and me watching her piggy back her friend around the track.

‘You know what – I am really proud of you!! From seeing you write stories at school (with your colour pens and on scrapes of papers)…to you now at The Mag Hive, and now to your writing an article for me…I am really happy and proud of you!! (Think I am going to tear, seriously)’

I do love you so much Xin bebe from the bottom of my scroungy little heart.
