Love? Life? Joy!
When I booked tickets to head home for the long Easter weekend, I was looking forward to taking a ‘breather’ – I hadn’t left the big city in over 3 months and missed the countryside. So besides baking, drinking ridiculous amounts of tea and hanging out with my family, I took a long bike ride, went for two woodland walks... Read the rest of this post...

I coaxed my brother and sister out the other week with the promise of pizza and beer. We got onto the subject of the differences between Brits and Americans. In a massive generalisation, we agreed that Americans seem to carry a lot more confidence than Brits and we started to joke about how British people ‘push the feelings down’ before...

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...

I recently went on my first ever date with a stranger. Not completely blind, mind you – but we had never met before. Some weeks ago, I realised that I hadn’t met anyone new since I moved to London in October – in a non-professional, non-living-in-the-same-house scope anyway. So, on a Saturday morning 2am whim, I joined a dating site.... 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...

A few days ago I received an email from a mystery man who had come across our blog. In the letter I was posed an unexpected conundrum… “My problem, so to say, is a girl problem. I really like her, have feelings towards her but when we went out for a lunch, I understood or she implied that I have... Read the rest of this post...

After having a conversation with a few friends recently, I started noticing a disheartening pattern forming. Apparently, even with a few of us approaching 25, we still find it bloody awkward to communicate about sex. (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...

(Warning this post contains spoilers.) I absolutely LOVE Channel Four’s ‘My Mad Fat Diary’. What’s the show about? In a nutshell it’s about a teenager called Rae who is growing up in the nineties. Rae is overweight and suffering from mental health issues. (Image via) Series one focuses on Rae finding new friendships after time away in a psychiatric unit.... Read the rest of this post...
