  • 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

  • Luck – May, Myself And I #17

    May 17: Luck I have to say that I feel so full of luck to be where I am today. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately, as it’s almost the halfway point of 2019, and I just feel so proud of myself. If you’ve been to this blog before, then you will know 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

  • When You Don’t Have Anything To Say

    It has been a very long time since I’ve written anything for this blog. I’m kind of going through a thing in my life where writing isn’t what I do in my spare time anymore – it’s my job. Trying to find the balance between your work and your hobbies is something that I never Read more

  • Is Instagram A Creative Outlet?

    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

  • 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

  • A Modern Take On Classics: Showcase

    As I explained in a recent post I have fallen back in love with reading, books and all that good stuff. Which is wonderful, of course, but it has resulted in me wanting to buy more books now I’m back in the loop which isn’t so wonderful for my bank balance. Nonetheless, one of my Read more

  • Sexism, Exploitation and Memes

    I wonder how many memes there are on the internet? They’re something we all see pretty much every time we log onto a social media site. That black and white lettering that protests some sarcastic message has basically become iconic now and will forever be recognised. Memes are a way for people to rant, to Read more

  • Important Things To Remember This Festive Season

    This season is meant to be the happiest of them all. I mean the month of Christmas and all the other festivities; a time when we’re supposed to be surrounded by friends, family and wonderful food, what’s not to love? But for many people it’s just another month in the year. Or for some, even 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. But this is a topic I really want to talk about and something that I’ve been thinking about recently for various different reasons. I am currently in my last year of a Journalism Read more

  • It’s Difficult #3: The Response

    (This is a follow up post. You can read the other parts here and here to get the gist of the story) As with most things in my life, I like to ask for other people’s opinions. This is either to prove to myself that I’m not alone or just because I’m a curious person and I Read more

  • It’s Difficult #2: Seeing The Problem

    (This is a follow up post. You can read the first part here to get the gist of the story) I didn’t think I had a problem. Although it was something that had crossed my mind in the past, I had always dismissed it as I wasn’t one of those people. I do use the internet Read more

  • It’s Difficult: Going 24 Hours Without The Internet

    Being set the challenge of going 24 hours without the internet doesn’t sound like a big deal, if you say it quickly. The idea of going one day without checking your Facebook or scrolling through Instagram sounds pretty easy. It even sounds kind of liberating, don’t you think? I certainly did anyway. In fact prior Read more

  • Five Tips For Becoming More Body Positive

    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 Read more
