Glamorising Depressed Women – Katie Price
Earlier this year I wrote an article about why we need to stop glamorising depressed women. Specifically women in the...
Getting your body back after baby is so much more than the physical appearance. Post-baby fitness can do wonders for recovery. A lot of muscles and joints become loosened and being consistently active can help to re-strengthen them leaving you feeling stronger. And while getting into a routine can be beneficial to your postpartum recovery, it can also become an…
Trigger warning: This topic discusses eating disorders and may be sensitive to some readers. I remember when I first walked into the GP’s office of my university’s medical practice. I don’t recall what made me do it, just that I felt the sudden desperation to be noticed or heard, all the while doing everything I could to hide from…
So, when are you going to have a baby? It is one of the most personal decisions a person can make, so why are we always asked about having children? You get engaged, "when are you having a baby?" New house, new baby. I've even had friends be asked on their wedding day. Stop asking when I'm going to have…
You are laid in bed after a small midnight snack. A secret snack. You are a secret night time eater to be accurate. Practically choking on your own acid because your shitty reflux pipe doesn't close properly and now actual acid is leaking out. Not actual acid like the battery sort but the stomach sort. The burning sensation in your…

I kindly told him to step back so we could maintain an acceptable distance, and what do I get? An eye roll and a sigh. Yeah mate, I don't fancy you breathing…
When I told my parents I was going travelling and specifically going to be doing lots of hiking in New Zealand they thought it was somewhat amusing. As someone who really hated participating in P.E. at school and also moaned when having to walk anywhere as a child, it was safe to say that I was a complete beginner when…
When I found a breast lump last year, time momentarily stood still. There were a few different ways this could pan out so before I let my imagination run wild I rang my doctors who were super helpful and surprisingly quick off the mark in securing me an appointment at the breast clinic within a fortnight. As a general rule…
I’ve well and truly caught the SUP bug lately and I’m loving every minute of it. SUP – or Stand Up Paddle-boarding – is one of the fastest growing water sports, and there are lots of good reasons why SUP is so popular now! Why SUP? So, why are so many people taking up paddle-boarding? If you haven’t already considered…
I'm going to put it out there guys - I've always never been a massive fan of my teeth. Especially the big two at the top. It's caused me such a confidence issue ever since I can remember.
