  • Are You Struggling To Find Meaning Right Now? Because, Girl, Same | Asking For Advice

    Before I go into this post, I just want to preface it by saying that I’m writing this in a low mood state. Writing is cathartic and I’m hoping by the end of this post I’ll feel lighter, but just to warn you, in case you too are in a dark place right now, that Read more

  • Makeup Trends I’m Still Here For | Personal Beauty Favourites

    Makeup is a fast moving market. It seems like whenever I get the hang on what’s in style, the world has already moved on to something completely different.

  • You Can Be More Than One Thing, Ladies!| Let’s Talk About It

    What is your opinion of memes? You know, those funny images that people like to share and repost online to show off their sense of humour and even parts of their personality. There is one meme going around at the moment that is driving me mad and I can’t sit on top of these opinions Read more

  • Losing Yourself On Instagram (And Finding More Offline)

    I have a love/hate relationship with Instagram. People who have been to this blog before will know that I went through a stage of loving this social media website.

    If you’ve been to this blog within the past couple of weeks then you will know a big focus of 2020 for me is money. I want to use this year to get back on my feet when it comes to money and ensure that I’m saving more than I spend. Even though it’s only Read more

  • A Word On The ‘Fat Shaming’ Drama

    There has been a lot of drama on social media lately regarding ‘fat shaming’. If you have spent even a second online over the past week or so, then you will know the story. I don’t want to get into how it started or what’s been said because I think it’s unnecessary for this post. Read more

  • Frightened To Unfollow?| Let’s Chat About Social Media Loyalty

    I have been spending a bit of time away from social media over the past month or so. Normally, I waste far too much time scrolling through Instagram or Twitter and I just decided to stop it for a while. I don’t have the apps on my phone anymore and I haven’t really missed it Read more

  • Mundane – May, Myself And I #20

    May 20: Mundane One of my favourite quotes at the moment is: Celebrate the mundane I don’t know where I first saw it (it was probably Pinterest) but I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Mrs Hinch and her cleaning cloths, mummy bloggers talking about their home; bookstagrammers and their current reads – these are just Read more

  • Curtains – May, Myself And I #14

    May 14: Curtains The first thing that came to my mind when I read today’s word was: ‘you never know what’s going on behind closed doors’ but I suppose I should change that to behind closed curtains, for today. No matter what people are hiding behind, whether it is a door, a snazzy set of Read more

  • Bodies – May, Myself And I #10

    May 10: Bodies I feel like I should have planned this post before I wrote it, but I guess that goes against the point of the challenge. I just know I’m going to have a lot to say about bodies. I’ve already touched on it during my weight post (read here) but I have a Read more

    I’ve mentioned it before, but I love Instagram. I’ve been posting so much on it lately and, although I do think I need to take a break from it every now and again, I really enjoy it! In fact I use it so much, I kind of consider it a hobby for me now. I’ve Read more

  • Six Badass Babes You Need Advice From | What I’m Reading Wednesday

    For a period of time all I read were self – help books. I can’t remember what one got me started, but I was hooked within no time. I really enjoy getting advice from others and a particular favourite mentor is a woman who is slightly older than me. Books can be an amazing way Read more

  • Who’s To Say You’re Boring? | A Talk About Habits, Self – Esteem and the Wonders of Social Media

    I have always considered myself to be boring. For the majority of my life, I have been a (fairly) quiet, studious person who likes my own company. I enjoy reading, as you know, and staying indoors – like any stereotypical introvert would be proud to share. As I explained in a recent post, where I Read more

  • My Social Media Is A Lie and I’m Proud of It

    This title is a little dramatic, but this is something I’ve been thinking about for a while now. It’s recently come to a head with my sudden burst of love and motivation for Instagram (follow me here). Everything I post on social media is a lie – of sorts. Scrolling through my feed, these bright Read more

  • Mind Your Damn Business: A Discussion On Privacy by a Nosy Journalism Student

    I haven’t even started this post yet but I already know it’s going to have no structure and no clear point. Apologies.
