That morning, despite waking up looking like a puffed-up panda bear, every fibre in my body felt different. I was a single mum now and that would become my strength. I accepted that babysitters were going to be few and far between. I grudgingly acknowledged that my days of being able to afford Gucci, having a clean car, and lying…
This year the pressure of festive perfection seemed to have upped it’s game! Last year, I made wrecaths, glue gunned the life out of decorations I’d seen tutorials for on Pinterest. This year? I’ve got a 10 week old along with my three year old and struggle to get off the sofa most days. I’m still feeling the pressure, the…
Queen of the jungle, Queen of the tabloids If you spent the last 3 weeks of your life like the rest of us watching I’m a Celebrity, it’ll come as no surprise to you that Jacqueline Josa was crowned Queen of the Jungle. The mum of two won over the nation with her down to earth and relatable personality. For…
We've had our Christmas decorations up since November 23rd. We've screamed Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas at least a billion times already. We've watched every Christmas film I can possible think of on Amazon Prime. Maya has a new Christmas wardrobe. And we've already seen in big man himself, Santa at Winter Wonderland at The Mall Cribbs Causeway. But really? When…
There's an ever ubiquitous millennial snobbery targeted at those in their twenties who've made the decision not to live in London. The British capital is held in such high regard by the current populus aged between 18-30, as though it is some Millennial / Gen-Z rite of professionalism to have slung your bindle over your shoulder and marched down to…

But there are a couple of arguments for this modern break-up method which need to be considered before we completely discard it in the bin of gruesome milennial creations along with turmeric lattes and overinflated entitlement complexes. I might…
So, if you haven’t been hiding under a rock, you’ll have noticed the Black Friday deals have begun. Not only are they early (some starting a week before), they seem to be EVERYWHERE. Some retailers are adding to the anticipation by offering pre-sale discounts... giving away a smaller discount than they intend to on the day, but a discount, nevertheless.…
A few days ago, a Twitter thread went viral for exposing some harsh truths about beloved, cruelty free super-brand, Lush. I’ve adored Lush for years so when I saw the thread pop up, I immediately thought it couldn’t be true and that it was just the poster’s expose on their own, singular experience. Perhaps they had a manager whose previous employment…
Like it or not, we're the generation of Love Island, Tinder, DMs and the everchanging trends that accompany them. Dating's never been more complicated, not least because of the lexicon. So I've decided to lend a helping hand in breaking down the parlance of the millennial dating scene for those who are struggling to separate their zombies from their peacocks.…
When it comes to social media, the content that we consume on a daily basis may be as important as what we’re eating for breakfast. The rise of ‘influencers’ on popular pages such as Instagram, Facebook or Twitter has opened up a whole new “profession” of ‘influencing’ – which in my opinion is volatile, dangerous even.
