We’re a couple of weeks into the new year now, which has given me a chance to think about the things I want to achieve this year. If I document them on my blog I feel more inclined to actually do them… so here we go: Improve my guitar skills Even though I’ve been playing …

A Very Big Merry Christmas To You All
First of all, I hope everyone reading this had a great Christmas! Yes, this is a belated Christmas post. I wanted to post something happy and merry on the day but honestly I was too miserable to have the motivation to do anything – especially fake happiness on my blog. I didn’t have the happiest …
A Simple Slice of… I’m So Busy!
Where to start… this past month I have been such a busy bee. As a side effect, my blog has been neglected. So I just wanted to post a little life update. I originally had so many ideas for Christmas themed blog posts which just never materialised because my life became hectic out of nowhere. …
A Simple Slice of Losing Your Job
This is just some late night ramblings, but I feel like I need to get some words down about this sense of hopelessness I’m feeling right now. I always try to make a positive spin on things that I write on my blog, but I struggled to do so with this one. Losing your job …
A Simple Slice of One Year
It’s exactly one year ago when I pressed a button that launched my blog. It feels like only yesterday when I was having a breakdown on not being able to find a theme I liked, and watching video tutorials about how to self-host a website. So Happy Birthday to my blog, I guess! It hasn’t …

9 Life Lessons That Taylor Swift’s ‘Fearless’ Taught Me
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 …
A Simple Slice of Gratitude
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. …
She Was Just Walking Home: Let’s Talk About Victim Blaming
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. There’s a lot of noise in my head right now, and I’m finding the news and social media to be very overwhelming. Maybe I’m just contributing towards all that …
