Love? Life? Joy!
The #nomakeupselfie trend took social media by storm this week – and boy did it spark up some debate! “It’s vain” “It’s narcissistic” “I don’t see the point” “It’s just a shame it takes online media and even vanity to highlight a disease we all clearly know about and many other causes and so we should be donating naturally.” “Going...

A recurring theme with most of my girlfriends at the moment is that the men in their lives insist on playing games. Games that make them lose trust and faith in humanity, give up on believing that there is a guy out there for them and make them withdraw into themselves. The other theme that runs along with this is... Read the rest of this post...

I had every intention of writing a heart-felt post about friendship this weekend – I’ve just spent a couple of days with three of my oldest friends laughing uncontrollably, holding hair back with puke splattering into plastic bags and plenty of embarrassing stories of pants. But I’m afraid a positive post is not on the cards today. If you’re looking... Read the rest of this post...

So I’m lying here like some kind of beached whale on the sofa, temperature sky high, my back fiercely sweating like a pork chop, my tummy is swollen and I’m majorly sorry for this over-share but I have what many medics refer to as ‘loose motions’. I feel icky, sticky and nauseous. My appetite has long gone and I am... Read the rest of this post...

This week I am going to be sharing my observations and views on COMMUTERS. They are one of the most fascinating sub-groups of human-beings I have ever encountered in my life. Ruthless, determined, brutal and relentless. At first I was rather excited about joining the working world, getting my morning coffee on the way to the station, trundling along with...

So there I was just casually minding my own business, watching some telly on a Saturday night when suddenly I heard a booming voice… ‘You got to be shitting me,’ my dad exclaimed as he clocked that Take Me Out was on. I beg your pardon. You got to be what-ing now? I thought. It was the last episode... Read the rest of this post...

So my mate and I were having coffee the other week trying to get on with some essay work and as usual we began talking about non-essay related topics. Her boyfriend was coming to visit and so she needed to pop into boots on the way home to get some wax strips. It was at that precise moment that I had the revelation that I am constantly at war. Yes, me! The peace warrior that I am is engaged in CONSTANT CONFLICT... and I am not talking about my current altercation with my neighbours regarding my morning Cyndi Lauper singing I see your true colours... NO! I am talking about a vicious confrontation with (dum dum dum) my own body hair. I am talking about the battle of the FUZZ people. And it is Uuuuuur-Gaa-LY!

So it occurred to me while watching New Girl the other day that I have a serious lack of Straight Guy Friends (SGFs) in my life. And I have to be honest at first I was rather offended at this sudden revelation. Why wouldn’t a straight guy want to be friends with me? I thought as I sat in my... Read the rest of this post...

So this week I went into London for an impromptu catch up with my mother. I was looking forward to an exceedingly pleasant, sophisticated rendezvous in one of the world’s most dazzling cities with the woman who gave me the gift of life. However, as I stepped off my commuter train I suddenly realized that I had descended into a... Read the rest of this post...

Sooo let’s not go into positives, because we all know there are plenty of ‘em. This is about when Facebook goes wrong. Very wrong. Facebook should be called ASBO-book, really. Is it me or are people getting touchy with status updates? The other day I logged into my account and innocently browsed my news feed. Louise had got a haircut.... Read the rest of this post...
