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...

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?

Most people think dreams about being successful are childlike and silly, because as adults we should be practical and sensible and not give ourselves false hope. Well, in my opinion, Ba Humbag! I should be thinking positively and having hope: believing that with a positive mind comes great things.

I remember sitting with a couple of friends at university drinking tea one cold November evening. I remember it vividly because it was the night a friend told me that she had been sexually assaulted. She didn’t report him because she felt, at the time, she was to blame. She said she felt responsible for him getting the wrong idea. She was... Read the rest of this post...

Nicki Minaj had a massive year in 2014. With everyone talking about her big ol’ butt (her words), which was in full view – literally – across the media, it was pretty hard to ignore her. She’s been on my radar for several years now (that brilliant voice, those insane lyrics, y’know?), but until last year, I hadn’t given Minaj... Read the rest of this post...

I don’t know about yours, ladies and gents, but my breasts are a complete nuisance. Every day, I have to strap them up in reinforced cotton scaffolding and spend a lot of my time at work readjusting when it starts to rub and pinch in places. Anyone who wears a bra will tell you that the most glorious feeling at... Read the rest of this post...

Over the weekend, I read in the news that Obama’s teenage girls were on the receiving end of some Twitter abuse for not being dressed ‘respectfully’ enough. Elizabeth Lauten, Communications Director for Republican Stephen Fincher, criticised the girls’ characters, based on their attire: ‘Dress like you deserve respect – not a spot at a bar’. Interesting, I thought. If that... Read the rest of this post...

Beauty: a word associated in this day and age with big hair, fake nails, silicon and being a size zero. But what ever happened to raw natural beauty? Why do women nowadays feel exposed and bare if they have no makeup on? Well, the answer is simple and it saddens me to say we feel the need to fit society’s... Read the rest of this post...
