A Note to Esquire

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...

Shoulda Woulda Coulda

Paperman

Take a chance and with it risk minor humiliation. If you don’t, you could end up regretting it. So, I met this guy on the train home, two days before Christmas. Having fallen asleep against the window, I woke up as the conductor announced that the train would go no further than the next station. We weren’t even half way... Read the rest of this post...

The Ex-Terminator: I Can Forgive But Can I Forget?

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...

Dating Etiquette, Period

not-that-into-you

How many times have you heard a friend mention how grossed out they are by the idea of sex on menses?

I’m not saying you should have sex on menses – it’s a personal choice to make under specific circumstance... 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...

Another One Bites the Dust

Bad-Hair-Day

I had every intention of writing a heart-felt post about friendship this weekend – I’ve just spent a couple of days with three of my oldest friends laughing uncontrollably, holding hair back with puke splattering into plastic bags and plenty of embarrassing stories of pants. But I’m afraid a positive post is not on the cards today. If you’re looking... Read the rest of this post...
