Love? Life? Joy!
As much as I enjoy cooking there are some days when I love nothing more than a good one-pot-wonder. And when that one pot results in anything chocolatey that’s just an added bonus! This week’s recipe is an old favourite: chocolate brownies with a Crème Egg surprise centre. Caution: This is not for those watching their waist-line! THE RECIPE Useful...

The problem with society seems to be that women are now apparently no longer allowed to want to be desirable or modest because that’s somehow contrary to feminism. Feminism is about equal rights, is it not? It means that I can get a law degree, fight in the navy, sign up for football practice and have sex with everyone on... Read the rest of this post...

Last week, I was struck down with a very horrible, unrelenting bout of flu. I was bed-bound for the first three days, sleeping for upwards of 18 hours of the day, only waking up when the painkillers ceased working. I drank pints upon pints of squash, all the variations of tea and honey I could muster from our extensive tea... Read the rest of this post...

As a woman, there are few things more depressing and frustrating than going to the cinema to see the latest blockbusters and seeing no strong female characters. Oftentimes, any potential ‘heroine’ is a damsel in distress or love interest. But not in Captain America: The Winter Soldier! Here, we have, not just one, but four ass-kicking women!

Or maybe a loved one is lost. Or a medical report comes back with terrible news. Either way, these experiences can have you questioning a lot,... Read the rest of this post...

About a year ago I was smoosing on Facebook, most likely procrastinating in exam time, when I came across a photo. The photo was of one of my friends. Flowers were aligned in a crescent shape on her head, her hair trailing behind her as she appeared to be cycling in the wind, her eyes were bright and her fair... Read the rest of this post...

When I was a baby my parents had nothing. All their belongings were in a couple of bin liners and we lived in a run-down house with no carpet in a dodgy neighborhood. My dad worked around the clock to support my mum who was taking care of me at home. They were very young and I had been an unexpected bundle of Joy!

Today, I found myself in a situation I didn’t really want to be in – it was a situation that was going to hurt and upset a very old friend. It was a situation that had me backed into a corner and there was no way out but to be brutally honest and take the punches. But it got me... Read the rest of this post...

We go about our daily lives with the world buzzing around us; and yet, we often take for granted how much can happen in a single day. Sometimes, particularly on a working day, life can feel a bit repetitive. ‘Am I getting anywhere or just repeating the same day?’ Whenever this question enters my head, I am most certainly taking for...

I recently went on my first ever date with a stranger. Not completely blind, mind you – but we had never met before. Some weeks ago, I realised that I hadn’t met anyone new since I moved to London in October – in a non-professional, non-living-in-the-same-house scope anyway. So, on a Saturday morning 2am whim, I joined a dating site.... Read the rest of this post...
