A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being Chief Bridesmaid for my friend Lynda’s wedding. We all received the works – professional make-up, hair, everything. It was quite a treat being able to literally roll out of bed at 8:30am and have it all taken care of. But I’ll tell you what wasn’t a treat. All the ladies... Read the rest of this post...

Recently I read an article about Chris Hemsworth baking his daughter a birthday cake. In fact, there were numerous articles about it all over the internet, here’s an example. The cake did look pretty good and better than anything I could ever bake, but I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Chris Hemsworth is hot, talented and famous,... Read the rest of this post...

A lot of people assume being 20 means you have nothing to worry about and life is like a carefree fun ride. Little do people know the little stupid things we can get stressed about that, in truth, don’t really deserve time to be pondered on. Along with stressing about getting a job and trying to be a success, we tend to burden ourselves... Read the rest of this post...

Today I threw a full-on wobbly because the house was a little bit untidy. Two Fridays ago I had to leave a bar my boyfriend was playing a gig in because every time someone tried to talk to me I nearly broke down in uncontrollable, sobbing tears. I’ve cried when someone has looked at me just because they were looking... Read the rest of this post...

The days before the smartphone; it’s all become a bit hazy now. I can barely remember a time when my phone was not within touching distance. In the college where I work, the rules about phones are a bit ambiguous. Students should have their phones away unless a teacher asks them to use them. There are so many apps that...

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...

Time after weary time, I’ve had to sit through tedious conversations on why London is such a rubbish city. ‘Oh, its impossible to buy a house anywhere in London, ordinary people are getting priced out’; ‘The crime rates are shocking! You never get that sort of thing in Bath…’; ‘It’s too crowded, I can’t breathe on the Tube’; ‘There’s no... Read the rest of this post...

Do you ever get the sneaky suspicion that your own body is trying to kill you? Forget about the carefree Tampax models frolicking in summery skirts and diving dolphin-like into a crisp oasis pool. I wish. Unless you are one of those the nimble nymphs of womanhood who only bleed a thimble on your period – you are probably banded with the... 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...

The other month an old colleague messaged me on a social networking site asking about working together. I replied promptly, enthused and excited about this potential new collaboration. And guess what? She never wrote back. Wait a tick, did I miss something here? You contacted me, lady?! And yet 2 months later – I’M STILL WAITING. (Image via) What happened? Did...
