How Do You Cope? | Let’s Talk About Coping Mechanism, Again
I spoke about coping mechanisms in my most recent post, where I was addressing one particular bad habit that I've developed over the years. While I don't want to get too repetitive here, I'm not quite finished with this topic of conversation. I've been thinking a lot about coping mechanisms, habits, and the things we [...]
Here’s Why You Don’t Need A Side Hustle | Let’s Talk About It
As someone who is interested in self-development, I come across the term 'side hustle' an awful lot. I bet you're in the same position too. Side hustle is a term that refers to a side project or some kind of hobby that will bring in money. It's something a lot of people recommend as a [...]
Planning The Perfect Day | Personal Self – Care
I've talked about self-care a lot on this blog because it genuinely is a topic that means so much to me. Only a few years ago we didn't even have a sufficient term for being kind to ourselves, which made talking about this topic pretty tricky. Thanks to other wonderful bloggers, influencers and social media [...]

Am I A Failure? | A Quarter-Life Crisis / Mental Health Chat
It's been such a long time since I've even thought about writing, let alone had any kind of motivation to open this site up again, that I'm not quite sure what to do now. Actually, I tell a lie. I've thought about writing every single day, but berated myself for not being able to and [...]
Never Been Heartbroken…? | Love + Life Lessons
What a statement, eh?! Imagine never feeling heartbroken. I don't think there's a person alive right now who hasn't felt this feeling at least once. My first true heartbreak was probably when the pop-sensation band Steps split up in the early noughties, and this pain continued as every band I loved through my childhood took [...]
The Vital Self – Care You Might Forget
When scrolling through social media, you might be under the impression that #selfcare is all about expensive bath products, face masks and a bit of relaxation. Something kind of superficial that you do for yourself when you're having a tough day. And although these are wonderful acts of kindness that you should definitely treat yourself [...]
