A Note to Esquire

hi-steven-billboard-ad-campaign (1)

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...

Step Out of That Comfort Zone!

imageone

We all live in our own comfort zones – you know, that little bubble of safety where the walls are soft and the landings are made of feathers. Routine is easy and the only thing that makes you nervous is having to see the in-laws, bumping into your ex boyfriend or being dragged into your boss’s office. But stepping out...

When Did Playing Games Become Acceptable?

When did playing games become acceptable

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...

A New Year, A New Adventure

daring adventure

So, it’s the Sunday before New Year’s Eve, we’re all probably hungover and lounging around in our PJs and wondering why on earth we ever thought drinking was a good idea – when, in two days time, we’ll be doing it all over again. I know, I know, I drank too much rum last night too and I am definitely... Read the rest of this post...

I’m Single, and that’s OK

tumblr_mb1ousDejL1qemyjzo1_500

It’s getting to that time in my life when almost everyone around me is getting married, having kids and constantly letting me know about these milestones by updates on Facebook. Lunch with the girls has turned from, “guys, you’ll never guess what I got up to last night, I was so drunk and then…” to, “well we’re just sorting out... Read the rest of this post...

Into the Unknown: The Quarter Life Crisis

187180928233225241_qvq2sgdl_c1

Almost everyone I know is stuck in that part of life where they’re happily bobbing along in their early twenties and then realise that 25 is just around the corner. FIVE YEARS UNTIL 30. Eurgh. Anyway, the mid-twenties crisis has popped up on my Facebook news feed a lot recently. “10 ways to get out of your quarter-life crisis”, “12... Read the rest of this post...

I’ve just started seeing someone new. He’s sweet, he’s nice, there’s none of these games that boys love to constantly play and it’s really damn easy. I’ve not once felt insecure, don’t feel the need to keep checking my phone and he even ticks all the boxes of The Potential New Boyfriend Equation. I even got references from his ex...

2013 – It’s Been One Hell of a Ride

bitstrip

I went out for dinner with a very old and very good friend of mine on Friday night, and we somehow ended up talking about what we were doing this time last year. And my word, how things have changed! I don’t think I’ve ever gone through a 12 months of such emotional turmoil, of such epic personal achievements or... Read the rest of this post...
