Dear Laura, I’m having trouble with a friend in that she has become increasingly self-centred, so much so that I cannot bring myself to spend time with her anymore. We’ve been friends since we started uni, over 10 years ago and I am reluctant to throw all those years of friendship away. However, she has
Over the last decade a myriad of new terms to define your sexual preferences have entered our modern lexicon – you can be pansexual (have a gender-blind sexual attraction to all people); you can be demisexual (sexually attracted to someone based on an emotional connection); or you could even be objectumsexual (sexually attracted to inanimate
I’m not going to lie, the thought of turning 30 horrified me. I didn’t feel like I had achieved anything in the years up until then and I honestly just felt utter dread at the thought of blowing out those candles. Do you know what? I couldn’t have been more wrong. This past year has
So, I’m just going to hit out with what is likely a very unpopular opinion: I don’t like summer. Or perhaps I should say, summer doesn’t like me. It could just be that I’m a stereotypical Scot, but when the temperatures surpass 20℃ I enter a whole new realm of hell: my thick hair constantly
This post is particularly relevant to me because it’s something I’m often in complete conflict over. One day my Instagram will be the positive motivational place I want it to be, other days it’ll be the standard day to day grind. It will even be a little woeful at times in my bid to keep
Turning 30 (the big 3-0) is often something that’s dreaded by so many. Transitioning a whole decade older overnight is definitely a milestone, but it’s one I’d actually been really looking forward to. Going from your twenties to your thirties is such an emotionally huge upheaval, but today I’m here to reassure you that turning
When Rhys and I first started planning our wedding, phrases like, ‘no fuss’, ‘laid back’ and ‘nothing-too-stuffy’ were bandied around hap-hazard, and once we abandoned the black hole that is Pinterest, things fell into place with relative ease. Caterers contracted. Tick. Tipis reserved. Tick. Props hired. Tick. Florists employed. Tick. The bride was wooed by
Friendships are probably one of the most important relationships in our adult life, I always think of the episode in Sex and the City where Carrie and the girls are taking a trip to Atlantic City on a coach tour with women all of a certain age and she asks where are all the men?
Dear Donna, I could use some advice on a matter I’ve been going through with a boy. It’s terribly frustrating because I just don’t know what to do. I met a boy two weeks ago. Well, I say ‘met’…I’ve known who he is for years, but we’d never actually spoken to each other or mixed
And so it began. What you may ask? Writing. Writing began. It all started when I decided to open a public Instagram account and share my passion for art, history, culture and travelling with fellow like-minded people and why not just say it, the world! I actually did not know that I had it in
