This morning I got up, didn’t bother showering, put my hair in a bun, shoved on my lycra combo and then ran 5K. After I finished, I had a protein bar, showered and dressed and put a bit of makeup on. This sounds pretty standard doesn’t it? But what if we add a certain clause in… This morning I got... Read the rest of this post...

A month ago I was walking down the street in North London when a guy crossed the road and groped my boob. I was with my female housemate, and he was in a group of four guys.

Back in the day Whitney proudly sang about her belief in the children of the future. Although this hit song can more commonly be found amongst drag queens repertoires and hen night playlists, I think that its message is one that I am greatly dependent upon.

The world has suddenly gone mad for moggies, with cats appearing in many big marketing initiatives in the past few months, leading me to question: Does this mean the crazy cat lady has suddenly been reformed?

Okay I’m going to drop the F-bomb. Remember when Natalie Portman challenged ‘feminist’ characters in Hollywood in her interview with Elle UK and Sinead O’Connor openly goaded Miley Cyrus to stop ‘prostituting herself’? Yes Miley, stop it. Stop stop stoooop! There is a lot of stigma attached to being feminist, and I think that the negativity surrounding the word itself has... Read the rest of this post...
