What if choosing the contraception that best suits you was not an option? The Pill revolutionised sex. There’s no denying it. Margaret Sanger probably wouldn’t believe how widespread the oral contraceptive she dreamed of has become. But that’s not to say it’s actually the best or most suitable method out there for you. There are SO many more options available... Read the rest of this post...

Stop the Beauty Madness Campaign has got us talking about beauty, and what it really means to be b-e-autiful. I don’t know about you but in my world – the people around me often have a lot of opinions on what’s beautiful. But can we take it a tad too far? Real Women Have Curves A few months ago I...

I’ve been employed full time (albeit in various places) for about 5 months now. After working full time in a bar all I wanted was to work 9-5, every week-day and have my evenings and weekends free. And don’t get me wrong – it’s good: I have two days to myself, to do whatever I want and I know all... Read the rest of this post...

Some people are shits aren’t they? I would like to say that this isn’t now I truly feel. I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’d like to say maybe it’s that we’re too similar, or our personalities clash, or maybe they are having a bad day. But let’s face it, some people are deep down miserable,...

So I’m real poor at the moment. Like, I thought I was poor last year… I wasn’t. A few months in London drained me of a good £4000. High rent, travel expenses and a kitchen I couldn’t cook in (so always had to buy food in) meant I was spending all the money I was earning – and then some.... Read the rest of this post...

I recently got friend dumped. She was a friend of several years, who I could see being a bridesmaid at my (eventual) wedding. And although we no longer lived in the same city, we made it a point to keep in contact often. Which was why I was surprised to get a short and sudden message from her stating that...

A few weeks ago, I was gossiping with my friend Rachel, whilst she was supposed to be working. Naturally, the conversation turned to our love lives. ‘I think Daniel was hoping for some action last night’, I typed. ‘But I didn’t let him go as far as unhooking my bra; I need to know two things before he proceeds: 1....

A few days ago I came across something that further confused my already complicated relationship with make-up: this. My first reaction was amazement. I have never used nor experienced make-up being used like this before (make-up isn’t exactly my forte). Of course I’m not completely oblivious. I know it can work wonders. I realise that the right make-up can create... Read the rest of this post...

So, I heard this yesterday… ‘I mean, I would have done when I was younger, but not now I’m nearly 25’. Hang on a sec…What was that I heard? You’re going to be 25 this year? You were in my year at school… How the hell has this happened? 25… It’s mature, it’s adult age, even old… And it doesn’t... Read the rest of this post...

‘Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass… It’s about learning to dance in the rain’. When you’re in a storm in life, it’s easy for others to quote the above words of wisdom, I mean they’re beautiful, aren’t they? But while dancing in the rain sounds poetic when the waters are calm, it’s much easier said than done. This... Read the rest of this post...
