Clothes and I have a very limited relationship. I wear them, they are comfortable, occasionally they sport a colour, but mostly it’s black. I wear form-fitting items seldom, although I am almost always in skinny jeans. I feel uncomfortable in skirts, and the idea of a ‘Marilyn Monroe’ moment fills me with cold shuddering dread. Jumpers are my only accessories.... Read the rest of this post...

I’m currently at at an age where I’m now considered to be a young adult and no longer seen as a teenager. It feels weird even saying the word adult let alone being associated with the word. According to society now being an ‘adult’ means I have to be mature in my approach to everything. To be completely honest I know... Read the rest of this post...

Happy New Year, Treasures! Another day, another year, another empty Happy Jar and another set of resolutions. (Image via) I never really write New Year’s resolutions. I usually have some basic plans but don’t tie myself down. For years now, I’ve never really had any specific goals that have held my own attention long enough to stick to them. And...

When it comes to political, social and economic rights there has never been a better time in history to be a woman. We’re getting there, gradually, but we’re not there yet. And when you begin to look at the figures we’re not even close. Would it shock you to know that, according to the Global Media Monitoring Project, less than 24% of the...

Destiny’s found a new child! (You, you, it’s YOU!) And I have one question: Are you ready to Smash It!? 2016 is almost upon us peeps! A journey not yet embarked upon. You, my friend, are the adventurer. The leading lady/man/lady-man of your life-movie. But unlike the movies you are also the writer; decision maker and navigator. The compass is...

This time of year always has me thinking about dreams and goal-setting for the New Year. But what people don’t talk about so much is the importance of picking yourself up after a dream has shattered, and, when that happens, having the courage to dream again. If the loss of a dream has crushed you in the past, this is... Read the rest of this post...

So the other day I had a conversation with a friend about our morning routines. She’s quite the opposite to me in that she picks her outfits very cautiously and spends a good amount of her morning applying makeup to her already beautiful face. I also put thought into what I wear however I’m not that picky, and put comfort... Read the rest of this post...

Lying side by side in the darkness one evening, at that time of night when we know we should be sleeping but have our most honest conversations, he asked me something he had yet to learn about me: ‘What are you most afraid of? Is it Spiders? Snakes?’ No, I’m not scared of spiders or snakes, although perhaps I ought... Read the rest of this post...

I don’t know about you but sometimes I get a bit fed up of all this positive thinking spiel. ‘Let it go’, ‘be happy’, ‘YOLO’, ‘peace mannn’. GAHHHH, STOP TALKING TO ME! Often when I am in the midst of trials in my personal life I can get frustrated with positive mantras because I don’t really see how all these... Read the rest of this post...

Being a Scorpio I can hold a grudge for a long time and it can be incredibly draining. I could quite easily not talk to someone for the rest of my life if they really upset me. Unfortunately grudge-bearing is not compatible with working with teenagers. Teenagers can be frustrating, exasperating and extremely rude for no apparent reason. As much...
