There were mixed reactions when Kate Moss famously said ‘nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.’ Despite a lot of outrage at her statement, ideas about how our bodies should look don’t seem to have changed. The weight-loss industry is still a huge one, and it’s still growing. Thinspiration is an actual thing; it’s the things that inspire you to... Read the rest of this post...

I can’t believe it’s been a year since I was worrying about going uni and drowning in my thoughts of whether I would fit in or not, whilst dealing with all the UCAS and student finance things.

Do you allow them to chain you and obliterate your self-confidence in situations where you have every opportunity to shine? So here’s a confession…... Read the rest of this post...

Selfies have been around quite a while now. Love them or loathe them it looks like they’re here to stay. When you really think about it, taking a picture of yourself is a bit weird, right?

I am so frustrated over the many times that people just cast me to the sidelines, because APPARENTLY I’M TOO YOUNG.
