University Is Hard Work

My first year at university, to be brutally honest, was an utter shambles. It took me the whole year to find my feet and, for a while I felt so pathetic for feeling like that. I’d look onto my social media and see old school friends having the best time of their life at their […]

My Uni Reality

This is a post I wrote back in February when I was overcoming a horrid spell of feeling very low. I wanted to share this intimate post on here because, it’s the reality of a university experience for some. It was my reality and it may be yours. Having made it to the other side, […]

Summer Body Blues

When my boyfriend and I booked our holiday to Greece back in March I’ve spent most hours of the daydreaming about the amazing time we were going to have. In each daydream, whether on the beach or by the pool or swimming in the sea or in a bar, I imagined myself looking like I […]

here’s the tea- long distance relationships

‘Dear God you’re starting university NOT single?!– How can you possibly enjoy yourself if you have someone at home? You need to be finding yourself- not stuck on the phone to someone miles away. It’ll never last…’ WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH. I’ve been in a long distance relationship for over a year and, it’s […]

my current playlists

I’ve never not got music playing. It’s normally on, far too loud, 24 hours of the day. With that, I have thousands of playlists to suit all genres and moods so, have a scroll through and hopefully find some new artists you like!! MELLOW: chilled vibes good for the bath or relaxing in your room […]

deal or no deal: colour changing foundation

Instagram is notorious for it’s many advertisements trying to flog you an evolutionary makeup product or the most expensive leggings that will ensure you a Kim K bum. The question is: how do you distinguish the scams from the real deals? I regret to say that on many occasions I have fallen down the Instagram […]

My Paris Bucket List

I’ve got countless notebooks where i’ve written down here and there things for my ‘bucket list’ but, most of my list is kept mentally in my head. I’ve been lucky enough to already have ticked off parts of my list and, on my trip to Paris I got to tick off a couple of pretty […]

Foodie | Homemade Pizza n Mugcakes

It’s November. The rents been taken out. The overdraft has been well and truly broken into, so Dominos Fridays are no longer a thing. What a sad, sad sentence.

Book Club | The Librarian of Auschwitz

‘We’re in Auschwitz. What do you want me to do? Take out life insurance?… ‘In a place like Auschwitz where everything is designed to make you cry, a smile is an act of defiance’. This book. Trying to find words to summarise just how powerful this narrative is is beyond any ability I have. All […]

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? Currently, there are numerous activist […]
