Cheryl’s Podcast: The Pinnacle of White Privilege
This week a new BBC Sounds podcast series was released – You, Me & R&B, presented by Cheryl Cole. The...
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 personally really love camping. There’s something about sleeping outdoors and getting closer to nature that I really enjoy but you have to be prepared and plan well. As someone who slept either in a tent or a very cold van on and off for about a year, here are all my tips and lessons learnt. There are a few…
Standing in Morrison's at the till the other day, with a trolley full of shopping. The man behind me is literally breathing down my neck like f***ing Dracula. 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 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. Being called chipmunk and being referred to having rat teeth in school didn't really help matters either. Weirdly enough though, when I…
For many of us, the ongoing pandemic has made us realise what’s important in life. As I’ve written about before for House 21, as a 35-year-old single woman when I was faced with the prospect of not being able to date and have the chance of finding someone, it was only then I realised how much I do want to…
I’ve been banging on about body confidence and positivity the past few weeks and I have realised just what an impact it has on us all. I always find this is the time of year that it hits us the most, the sun comes out and we get excited and dig out our summer clobber, then the weather drops a…
