Emma Cripps

Marketer, foodie, all round lover of the North East. I get overly excited about new paperbacks, independent decorating and gift shops and being at the beach.

I'm working out who I am and what I want out of life, which is a more exciting (and scary) prospect that I orginally thought. But these are the things I do know about me:

• I love my job and all it brings with it, but I've realised it doesn't define me (therefore I don't feel it necessary to work 12 hours days any more).
• Whoever said "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" obviously hadn't been to Corbridge Lader.
• There's nothing better than films and hot chocolate on a Sunday afternoon.
• It's unlikely I'm going to be president of the world, but i still enjoy shouting at the news about how I could do it better.
• Earl Gray tea is a life source.
• Sleep deals with almost all problems.
• Life isn't as long, or as serious as I thought it was.
• I spend far to much time talking about myself.
