Is it just me or has everyone, all of sudden, just decided that they need a 14-step evening skincare routine that consists of 3 exfoliators and 5 cleansers? As a lover of skincare and having a beauty regime, I’ve always appreciated and understood the need to look after my skin …but I knew this wasn’t
Self-care, a whirlwind of a buzzword that has taken the internet by storm. Last night, I shared my evening of self-care on Instagram where I took the standard bubble bath, applied the mandatory face mask and read a book as I sat next to my pink himalayan salt lamp and inhaled the sweet sweet scent
After a discussion with a work colleague regarding the donation of blood and how he still wasn’t able to donate the life changing unit (Yes – He’s Gay!)

Motherhood is an unpredictable journey. When I found out I was pregnant, all the obvious thoughts came to mind. Will it be a boy or a girl? Who will they look like? How much will they weigh? Aaah, labour! Of course, every expecting mother wants, first and foremost, for the baby to be healthy and
This post has been a long time coming, but I simply didn’t have the confidence to start writing. As a young teenager I ALWAYS suffered badly with my periods and finding the right contraception for me. Microgynon worked from a young age up until my early 20’s when I started to get periods every other week.
Now, this is a story all about how my life got flipped-turned upside down and I’d like to take a minute, just sit right there and I will tell you about how I became ….. anxiety-ridden… (not quite the fun ending you hoped for? Same). So, on a serious note, I thought it would be
