Rejection is a hard thing to take with your confidence intact. To be rejected from something is always a bleak and demoralising experience, no matter how you try to spin it. It can also lead to increased anxiety, jealousy and unhappiness – all of which are things I have experienced over the past year. For …
It’s been ten days since my last blog post. I don’t think I’ve ever left it this long before between posts. There’s a ton of things I want to write about, but honestly I’ve just felt so demoralised to do anything this week. I try not to be so openly negative on my blog, but …
Twelve year old me would be screaming right now (just as twenty-five year old me is). I haven’t exactly made it a big secret on my blog that I’m a Taylor Swift fan, so it should be no surprise to anyone when I say that ‘Fearless’ changed my life. In my early years at secondary …
Hey there, hello! How are you doing today? Here in London, Spring is full swing. It’s a sunny day, the mornings are brighter and the daffodils are no longer a rare sight. It seemed like the perfect day to share a more personal post. The past twelve months have been a difficult time for me. …
Trigger warning: this post mentions sexual assault, sexual harrassment and stalking. This past week I’ve been quite shaken by something that happened in my local area.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about what gift you’re going to get. This year might involve more online purchases than usual, so it’s best to start looking as soon as you can! Just like my Christmas gift guides, I really want to encourage buying from small businesses where …
Getting to sleep at night over the past year has been a real struggle. I’ve tried pillow sprays, reading before bed, and everything else I could possibly think of to clear my mind and make me feel calm. It was frustrating that I couldn’t seem to find anything that worked for me. After some research, …
A couple of days ago I dropped my water bottle and it cracked. Under normal circumstances this would have been such an insignificant event in my life; I’d just dispose of it and move on. The water bottle was of no sentimental value to me and I could easily just get a new one. It wasn’t a big deal and yet, for some reason, I cried over it.
Any other singles out there? Join the club, my friends. If there’s no one special in your life to exchange gifts with, why not use the day to spoil yourself instead? All these suggestions are taking into consideration the fact the UK is still in a lockdown so we need to find things to do …
