  • My Current Healing Ritual | To Cultivate Thoughts, Ideas and Realisations

    Now is the perfect opportunity to work on yourself and I’m currently going through a process of healing. While there is a lot of work that’s going on in the background, and so many things that I still need to learn, I thought I’d share a ritual that’s been working for me. This is a Read more

  • How To Give Yourself The Space To Figure Out What You Want

    We live in a noisy world. No matter where we turn we’re forced to deal with messages, news, advertisements, other people’s opinions, judgements, and so on coming at us from every direction. We carry around these devices that are constantly making noise – both literal and metaphysical – and with every tone we take in Read more

    If you’re reading this post right now, then there’s a good chance that – like me – you’re into self-development and making changes to your life.

  • An Open Apology To Taylor Swift (and all the other women I’ve shamed) | BECOMING BETTER

    As I’m getting older I am starting to learn more about the kind of person I want to be and I’m learning how to get rid of negative attitudes I simply just don’t need anymore. For such a long time now being a feminist has been a huge part of my identity. But despite everything I Read more

  • Things I’ve Been Loving | February 2018

    It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts, which are basically favourites but I don’t do them as often as everyone else. In fact, my last one was way back in November 2016! So it’s certainly about time I do another one. There’s been such a mixture of things I’ve been loving recently Read more

  • Three Albums For When The World Gets Too Much

    Things have been so weird and unsettled in the world for a long time now. It feels like everyday seems to bring about more horrendous news and, to put it bluntly, the world just seems so scary sometimes. When we’ve got our own issues to deal with as well, there’s no wonder so many of Read more

  • Things I’ve Been Loving: November

    Okay so I know I’ve just posted a monthly, wrap-up style post (if you missed that then you can check it out here) but November’s been a busy month for me and I have more things to say! This time round I want to focus on the small products that have kept me going and Read more

  • Cool Things I Did In November (Alternatively Titled: How To Escape)

    I know I said this in my last monthly post (read here) but it’s just been another weird month. I think with the end of the year approaching, workload picking up and the general state of the world (*cough* Trump) it’s understandable that a lot of us are feeling a bit shit right now. I’m, Read more

  • Four Songs To Ease Your Soul

    I’ve done a few music posts on this blog (see here, here and here) and in each I’ve explained why I rely on music a lot. Whatever you’re going through, there’s probably a song about it. I mainly rely on music to boost my mood and that’s what I’m going to talk about today. It’s Read more

    I thought I knew what kind of music I liked. I was wrong.

  • Five Feisty Female Anthems For Your Friday Night

    As I’ve said in a previous post, I rely a lot on music to help me and my mood. When I’m getting ready for a night out it’s crucial that I remain happy and excited, comfortable and confident or else things could go wrong once I finally get out. Music is something I use to Read more
