What does the phrase 'letting yourself go' mean to you? As a child of the 2000s, this phrase brings up images of women's magazines for me. Those magazines with bright yellow or pink headlines, red circles on celebrities' bodies and claims that such-and-such had tragically 'let herself go' was inescapable for quite a long time [...]
We can be our own worst critics. No matter how hard you work and how big you dream, chances are the gremlins in the back of your mind are always pulling you down. They will tell you that you're not good enough, that you can't do that, and sometimes that you're just plain stupid. Now [...]
The current news has effected so many people in more ways than I think we can imagine. The murder of George Floyd is just one of the many examples we have seen over the past few years of police brutality and open racism. It is disgusting that this is not a one-off event and without [...]
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. Social media is a massive influence on makeup and fashion trends in general, which it always has been. I first got into makeup thanks to social media, [...]

Before we even get into this post, I need to say that I'm not anti-porn. Shocking I know; a feminist who isn't against porn! Well, settle yourself in fellows because I might be able to surprise you further. Believe it or not, but most feminists (and those who don't like to call themselves that) aren't [...]
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 [...]
There is a big stigma around being 'basic' online. According to Urban Dictionary (which is a lifesaver for anyone over the age of 14, am I right?) basic means: only interested in things mainstream, popular, and trending If you happen to follow me on any other form of social media, you might have seen that I refer to myself [...]
