3 Reasons to take the EPQ
It gives you an experience of writing at university level. I cannot explain the extent of how much the EPQ aided me when I got to university. The EPQ is 5000 words, which means 2000 word essays at university seemed easy. Moreover, I gained experience in referencing, which is extremely […]
The Art of Cooking
When I was at University I realised how important cooking was, until then I had gone by thanks to my lovely mum who had always prepared every meal for me and my family and I never really picked up a wooden spoon in my life. When I went off to […]

let’s talk, periods
Period, a word that makes both men and women shudder. For YEARS I have been completely bewildered by the taboo subjects of periods. Women bleed every single month for roughly around 40 years. That’s a big old chunk of time, so why are we struggling to speak openly about periods? […]
Last Christmas – Not Your Ordinary Christmas Flick
So, the Christmas season is upon us! Retail stores have switched over from ghosts and ghouls to garlands, wreaths, and lights that seem to saturate every square inch of the floor.

There was an endgame on the MSA live stream of this year’s World Scrabble Championships that quite literally had to be seen to be believed. There have been hundreds, if not thousands of live streamed Scrabble games broadcast over the years but this one I feel might have been unique. […]
Bottoms Up!
If you are like me, countless doctors and people that have told you this year and years past that you need to drink more water. And sometimes it’s easy to get on a great streak of drinking it. It’s then that I see what all the talk is about… What […]
The Power of Vulnerability
Vulnerability has been coming up in every single area of my life recently. No matter where I am, people are talking about being vulnerable. It’s made me really have to stop and reconsider the power of vulnerability. I used to think that vulnerability was a weakness I never wanted to […]

Christmas is my favourite time of year. I love to get involved in all things festive in the lead up to Christmas Day to make sure that I am in the Christmas spirit. It helps now that I have children, because it is truly the most amazing thing watching their […]
Social Media Do you Spend too much time on it?
I am guilty of spending to much time procrastinating, especially scrolling through social media. One search leads to another and before you know it an hour has passed by and you have realised you’ve barely said two words to those around you. Recently I have found ways to switch off […]

It seems as though one day you go from being your parent’s child to their adult son or daughter. It doesn’t seem like much should change, but some things do and some things don’t. Adulting.. there’s a lot to it! What changes: It may no longer be assumed that your […]

Mental Illness, Depression, Anxiety, Bi-Polar, PTSD, the list goes on to the terms used to distinguish those who suffer with mental illness. Mental Illness is a word you tend to hear a lot about now more than ever as those who suffer are no longer hiding in the shadows but […]
Positivity for the win!
Positivity is underrated, having a positive attitude can really shape your outlook of what is around you and it can have a massive impact on people that are close to you even without you realising that. Some people are naturally positive, while others seem to always see the glass half-empty. […]

A Letter to my Twelve Year Old Self
Dear Georgia, Everything will work out. These few years will be the most confusing of your life, as you haven’t found yourself yet. Don’t worry, as, in time, you will come into your own. I know it’s extremely hard to do, but let go of your worries and stop caring […]
Failing Doesn’t Make You A Failure
Failure is an inevitable part of life. Sooner or later, we’re all going to fail at something. But, it’s not our failures that define us. Imagine if that was the case- we would be a whole species of failures. I for one am so glad that that failing doesn’t make […]
