Love? Life? Joy!
It’s been a long day. You’ve had a stressful day at work. Your gym was so packed with people doing post-work workouts that it frustrated you more than it relaxed you. Once you’d changed and got out of there, you were so hungry it felt like your stomach was eating itself. You got lost on the ride between the gym... Read the rest of this post...

I love you. Three magic words. A million possibilities. The stuff that Hollywood rom-coms and Whitney Houston songs are made of. A few weeks back I found myself sat in cafe one rainy Tuesday evening in the heart of London’s Soho. One of my girlfriends had called me in tears – it was a CODE RED. As we clutched our...

This summer, I couldn’t check my Facebook newsfeed at the weekend without a friend’s wedding pictures appearing.

Recently I went on a date, which, although it started off well, ended badly. The problem was, that early on it became obvious that we had very different personalities. I’m quite stubborn and don’t like being told what to do. Whereas he clearly thought that I needed help to broaden my horizons. The problems started with the location of the...

Something that has been bothering my mind recently is how easy it is to feel silly or irrational when you keep forgiving someone continuously or consistently make an effort with that one friend everyone says treats you badly.

This year I have seen A LOT of changes to the people in my life, my career and my home. Although the idea of new beginnings can be an exciting thing, I have often felt a little bit scared too. I got used to putting on an enthusiastic facial expression to almost blank out something that was getting me down (because let’s... Read the rest of this post...
