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.

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...

Writing is a journey. For the past three years, I have been lucky enough to work with an awesome team of writers and editors as well as contribute to some great websites.

What constitutes a hero? Talent? Charisma? Abs that can crack walnuts? Legs that look good in a loin cloth? Yes please. But seriously.

Sex on first date. Yay or nay? – From Anonymous Oh gees, this is a pretty common question with a not so simple answer. First it depends how you met.

Let’s get real, when you go through a break up you might act like a bit of a douchebag towards your friends. Being the ‘best friend’ in someone else’s breakup situation is a privilege and a joy but it’s also EMOTIONALLY DRAINING, man! I know, I know, you don’t mean to. You’re NOT a bad person.
