Love? Life? Joy!
I know you think you’re too cool to listen to my advice and you think you know everything about life.

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!

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...

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.

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.

Christmas is a time for family, roaring fires and good food; but what if you were alone, cold and hungry at Christmas? There are no official figures for the number of people who are homeless across the UK, because homelessness is recorded differently in each nation and because many homeless people do not show up in official statistics at all....

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...
