  • Feel-Good Female Reads for Mother’s Day

    It’s Sunday once again and I’m back with another bookish post.

  • Reflections on Turning Twenty

    My birthday is this weekend and I am no longer going to be a teenager. I’m kind of freaking out a little bit. Being a teenager for me means that it’s acceptable to not know what you’re doing, to float around and waste time because you’re only young- you’ve got so much time to figure Read more

  • Five Books You Might Not Have Read

    The other week I was at home and sorting out one of the many boxes of books I have there, when I stumbled across a few gems that I thought would be interesting to share with you today. If you’re like me, then you’re always looking for something new to read. Hopefully these may catch Read more

Barbie will now come in a diverse range of body types.   We’ve all heard of the drama surrounding Barbie’s beautiful but very narrow and unobtainable structure and the damage it can cause Read more

    Although it probably doesn’t look like it so far, I am so invested in this blog and it is something I take seriously.
