Love? Life? Joy!
It all began with Pinterest. Man, I love to pin! Earlier this year I kept coming across all these incredibly self-indulgent pics of girls on mountains facing these epic landscapes with titles like ‘Wanderlust’ and ‘Into the Wild’ and all that kind of yuppie crap… And that’s when it hit me… I wanna do that! I want to do the yuppie... Read the rest of this post...

Every person’s life goes at a different pace, with lots of twists and turns; some expected, some completely out of the blue. It is very difficult not to compare your life with others; using their milestones as benchmarks for your own. Some of my friends are having children, some are getting married. People I knew at school/college are getting mortgages,... Read the rest of this post...

Everyone has days when a taste of home is what they need, and for me Lemon Polenta Cake is just that. With all the comfort of something-my-mum-used-to-make, but without the gluten, this is one of my favourite sweet treats. As an added bonus it’s super-easy to make and remember the recipe – when in doubt go for 250g… THE RECIPE... Read the rest of this post...

In biology we learn that evolution caused the human race to change and develop through continuous cycles of natural selection over successive generations. This then meant that in order to survive we had to compete against each other. Those who had the better genes, traits and behaviours evolved and soon new species began to form. I’m no philosopher or scientist,... Read the rest of this post...

It was a normal Tuesday morning in London. I was in a rather pleasent mood as I trundled towards the Tube on my way to work, simply minding my own business. I think commuter time is good thinking time, so I was contemplating some of my plans for the day, waiting for the Piccadilly Line when out of nowhere this... Read the rest of this post...

It’s quite possible I come from the proudest county in England, where you can go abroad and still find people chanting ‘YORKSHIRE’ if you identify that there’s more than 3 of you in the vicinity. I don’t know where this comes from, only that most of us our proud of where we are from (maybe because we know there’s some... Read the rest of this post...

If there’s anyone that society loathes more than a failure, it’s a quitter. From the time we are kids, we’re constantly bombarded with feel good sayings about “not quitting”. Sure these sayings have wisdom. Perseverance is an important trait and is key to success. Many of the world’s great artists, scientists, athletes, businesspeople, and the like have stories of how they... Read the rest of this post...

Some guys reading this are totally clued up on feminism, and if you are, I salute you. There is nothing more attractive than a feminist dude. And it is an attitude I respect and value in a man, whether he is a partner, friend or colleague. But I feel like maybe some guys out there need a lil’ pep talk... Read the rest of this post...

So, I’ve got a bit of a situation here, and I’ve no idea how it’ll turn out. I want my personal relationships to bring me happiness. I want to have a successful, fulfilling career. But it seems that wanting both simultaneously is just too much to ask. You can’t have it all. This whole situation would be so much easier... Read the rest of this post...

I’ve been asked this question quite a lot recently: Are you religious? And I never know what to say. It’s hard to answer. It’s usually someone creating a sort of safety net so as not to offend as they parallel religion with a form of mental illness. I mean, by Christian standards, I was always pretty liberal. I’m not an... Read the rest of this post...
