Beauty: a word associated in this day and age with big hair, fake nails, silicon and being a size zero. But what ever happened to raw natural beauty? Why do women nowadays feel exposed and bare if they have no makeup on? Well, the answer is simple and it saddens me to say we feel the need to fit society’s... Read the rest of this post...

Just two months ago I had no idea about what to do with my life. I felt as though all that I was ever going do was sit on my tea stained sofa and live happily in my imaginary world, which I was too chicken to make a reality. I became fixated on one thing and became trapped in my narrow... Read the rest of this post...

Arrrgghhh! Why am I so bloody awkward?!?! I am, unfortunately, one of those people who embarrasses easily. This has come from my younger years, those who have ever been made fun of when you were younger will know that feeling of shame – and it stays with you forever. The dread, the panic and the sweat come flooding back every... Read the rest of this post...

I’ve always been a fan of October. Autumn has always resonates a certain sense of excitement in me. I look forward to it all through the sweltering (and often rainy) summer: the cold crisp mornings, the warm colours of the trees. It always seems a time to look forward, to make changes, to start a new. I imagine this feeling... Read the rest of this post...

In biology we learn that evolution caused the human race to change and develop through continuous cycles of natural selection over successive generations. This then meant that in order to survive we had to compete against each other. Those who had the better genes, traits and behaviours evolved and soon new species began to form. I’m no philosopher or scientist,... Read the rest of this post...

(Note: this post is total CHEESE BUCKET!) …okay, OKAY, I don’t actually have a little sister. But can’t a girl dream!? It’s not my fault my parents didn’t listen to my advice and adopt. ‘I wish I had a sister!’ I exclaimed as I was having coffee with one of my girlfriends not too long ago. ‘What are you talking...

Technology has made loads of things a lot easier – I can’t imagine completing my degree/doing my job/day-to-day life without the use of the internet. But some things have got a lot more complicated. Sometimes I think that being alive a hundred years ago was actually a lot easier than it is today. 100 Years Ago: Girl meets boy at... Read the rest of this post...

I’m not sure whether everyone has enough solid self belief to chase their dreams. I know I certainly don’t. As a child, you get tonnes of praise for doing things the right way, often you would in school when you did something that impressed the teachers and then less frequently in college or university. To me, it seemed liked you had... Read the rest of this post...

‘The brightness makes the darkness hell’. This was used in a PGCE induction talk about poetry I recently had. Although it was used to demonstrate a child’s ability to use poetic writing (yes a five-year-old wrote this), I believe that this week has given me a massive realisation as to my meaning of life. I’ve suddenly become a bit dramatic... Read the rest of this post...
