Black Friday has come and gone, with a fast fashion brand selling items for free and a luxury fashion retailer offering 40% off, let’s now reflect on whether or not it’s actually worth it. Over the years Black Friday has grown from a one day in store event to sales that can now last for the entire month of…
Stranger - "So, when are you going to have children then?" Me - "Umm..." This is a topic I have never touched on before - children. This can be a delicate subject for some, especially those who dream of having children of their own. So this post may not be for some women/men. I started writing this post…
Sex and the City fans across the globe are gearing up for the legendary show’s spin-off, And Just Like That, which will be hitting our screens in December. The show following the lives of four single (and fabulous) New York women, was a gamechanger on its release in 1998, not just for television but society as a whole. We were…

As an inferior to man, our place is at home, cooking and cleaning, playing with the children or possibly dying in childbirth – what right do we have to be educated, be a boss babe or alas…
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…
