Love? Life? Joy!
What is love? …baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more…. Haddaway was on to something when he sang the mega dance floor filler ‘What Is Love?’ back in the 90s. But I still find myself asking this question now. As I chew on my pen. And stare at this computer screen. Blank. There are a million ways you... Read the rest of this post...

Today, I found myself in a situation I didn’t really want to be in – it was a situation that was going to hurt and upset a very old friend. It was a situation that had me backed into a corner and there was no way out but to be brutally honest and take the punches. But it got me... Read the rest of this post...

Yesterday, something awesome happened in England and Wales. Yesterday, same sex marriage became legal. David Cameron, this is the first good thing you have done for this country. Well done. We still have a long way to go of course – educating school children to try and stamp out prejudice. Even educating adults about one simple fact – whether couples... Read the rest of this post...

I’ve had the misfortune of being on the end of some seriously narcissistic behaviour recently. We all have people in our lives that we find it hard to get along with or whose personality clashes with our own but what do we do when we realise that someone in our life is bringing us down? Like all personality disorders the... Read the rest of this post...

After having a conversation with a few friends recently, I started noticing a disheartening pattern forming.

(Image via) It’s not necessarily our fault that we still get all squeamish about it, we’re Brits! We can be the worst at handling awkward... Read the rest of this post...

So you’re blissfully in love. Snuggling next your top totty every night. (Gotta luuuuurve the snuggling!) Romantic candle lit meals at that quaint little Italian place in town. Oo oo oo, remember that time when you got cappuccino froth on your chin? You looked like a ‘cutsey wootsy Papa Smurf’, and then your beaux wiped it off with her handkerchief...

I’m currently sat with a raging hangover, still in my pyjamas and covered in bruises from last night’s birthday celebrations at the local roller disco (who’d have thought we’d be saying that in 2014?) In two days I’m 25. TWENTY FIVE. Quarter of a century, half way to fifty. A milestone I’ve been dreading for a long time. I’m one... Read the rest of this post...

Valentine’s Day is almost here. So in addition to the Buzzfeed quizzes, inspirational quotes, and recipes, your newsfeeds are also likely to be flooded with lovey dovey statuses and couples’ selfies. But, aside from the happily taken professing their love, there are also the vocal singles.

This week, I was writing an article about Valentine’s dates for a client. The sort of content that is meant to reignite the passion and prove that Valentine’s Day isn’t just a Hallmark Holiday. As a single girl writing said article, I was happily plotting my night of hibernation with a good book and maybe a FaceTime session with my... Read the rest of this post...

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...
