Love? Life? Joy!
If I only had those Jimmy Choo shoes, if I only got a promotion, if I only had a thousand Twitter followers, if he only liked me back… We’ve all been there. You walk by a shop window or bump into an old crush and you feel that pang: ‘if I had you – I would be complete’. I’ve been... Read the rest of this post...

As a young girl living in the false hope of a fairy princess life, I was consumed by the idea that my life would be easy and carefree. I believed that good things just happen out of the blue; I never understood that you actually have to work for success. However, my number one tip for any strong young lady wanting...

My body really is my best friend. It helps me automatically calculate the distance of an oncoming car, deals with whatever crap I chuck down my throat, and even once gave me my period early because it knew I was worried. My body really looks after me. You could even say it has my back *giggles at own pun* I... Read the rest of this post...

Soooooo Madonna fell off stage at the Brits last week and I think it’s fair to say the internet CAUGHT FIRE. I mean, I’m not going to lie. It was shocking. But what I found most interesting was the public reaction. There was the jovial tongue in cheek banter you would expect. Too much material for the material girl. Ha!... Read the rest of this post...

The other day I was reminded of a small thing that brought me straight back to my childhood. It was an interest of mine. I wondered why that interest had ever disappeared. I was quite self-assured when I was younger. I was aware that people used to make fun of me for the way I looked or for my unusual... Read the rest of this post...

Here’s a rather generic question we often encounter that might just hold something deeper. This is a question we’re faced with almost everyday by multiple people in the plethora of shops we visit. ‘Would you like a bag?’ I try to live a life as green as I can (the good kind of green), and one thing I always try...

We make ourselves feel guilty about all manner of things. Appearance, weight, eating, drinking, exercise, accidents, things we’ve said or done… I feel I have wasted days, months, maybe years of my life on guilt and regret. I tend to beat myself up about all kinds of stuff. I am ambitious and competitive. I hate not being the best I... Read the rest of this post...

It’s time to be honest, every now and then I compare myself to others. Sometimes it’s other writers who are more successful than me, and other times it’s people who I don’t even know, but it seems like they’re living extraordinary lives. One things for certain, at the end of the thought train, my feelings about myself hit rock bottom. Ever... Read the rest of this post...

I have been trying to demystify the meaning of love for quite a while. I’ve written many-a-blog about the subject, searched history books (okay Wikipedia), women’s mags and Mariah Carey songs on the quest to discover what ‘love’ actually constitutes. The other day I was standing at a bus stop. In the rain. When it hit me: All this time... Read the rest of this post...

It really concerns me that people around me seem to be constantly dieting and trying to lose weight. Why should I have such an interest in this? Surely people can do what they want to their own body? Of course they can but the problem, for me, is that it seems as if it’s primarily women who are constantly having this... Read the rest of this post...
