Self- care is a big topic online nowadays and although it is one of my favourite trends to have ever hit our screens (an open conversation about looking after yourself? Yes please!) it can be trivialised or even glamorised at times. There are some times when having a Lush bath and pampering yourself just won't do. [...]
Realising I was an introvert was a journey that took longer than I could have ever imagined. And even though I’m finally getting towards the end, I still struggle to accept it sometimes. Being the centre of attention is not really my cup of tea, if I’m honest, and it never has been. Of course, [...]
Are you guys looking forward to Christmas? It feels like everyone is getting more and more festive every day, yet I'm still struggling to accept that it's December already! Already I think it's lovely that people are getting all excited about Christmas and all that jazz, I am more than aware that not everyone can relate. [...]
Following Mental Health Day this week (Monday 10th October, FYI) I've been thinking a lot about this whole 'self-care' thing. It's become somewhat of a trend on social media and we're often surrounded by images of Lush products and bubble baths. Which of course is a part of it, but it isn't always pretty and [...]
It's so easy to get stuck into a rut and feel like there is no way out. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, being 'stuck in a rut' describes those times when you feel like you're trapped. When things aren't going quite as you'd like but you can't find any way to resolve [...]
There's nothing worse than feeling lost and stressed. The summer is basically over now and we're all getting back into our normal routines; our workload's are increasing and things are generally starting to pick up. In this time it is so easy to feel like things are getting on top of you and you're starting [...]
Body image is a topic that takes up a lot of my time. Not only, like every other person on the planet, is it something I have struggled with since my preteen days but it is also a something that interests me greatly as a subject. I understand how difficult it can be when you're [...]
Many of you will no doubt be heading off to university very soon (or you may even be there now, you lucky thing!) and as you're probably aware Freshers' Week is one of the most important dates on your academic calendar. Especially in your first year. It's your chance to settle into your new home, [...]
It's nearly the weekend and as many of you prepare for a wonderful night out with your girlfriends I've done the running around and organised your perfect playlist. It's sassy, upbeat and all about the girls- you're welcome. NO: Meghan Trainer https://youtu.be/cMTAUr3Nm6I In a similar tone to the Pink song I mentioned in my other [...]
Can we just ignore the fact that I have been absent from this blog for quite some time and jump straight into one of my favourite topics of the moment; beauty. (I am terribly sorry and very disappointed in myself though) Anyway, I tend to go through phases with hobbies and become either completely obsessed [...]
