I have had it for years, “you look like someone famous”. If I had a £1 for every time someone said I looked like Adele on a night out, I’d be nearly as rich as her. Now she has lost an estimated 7 stone, which is my weight loss goal. She’s been pretty quiet on the subject, but last…
Another US election, another frenzied few days of brightly coloured CGI graphics and fast-speaking commentators splashed across our television screens. Unlike British elections, where we seem to mainly focus on the inside of ageing community centres and meek audiences applauding as someone wins (or, perhaps more excitingly, when someone important in government loses) next to an eccentric in fancy dress,…

Following the start of the Coronavirus pandemic it is estimated that 194 million disposable masks and gloves are now being used across the world every month. Most single use PPE is made of a…
On the late hours of Sunday night, the BBC announced that a Kensington Palace Source stated that Prince William, Second in line to the throne, had also suffered from Covid-19 around the same time as his father the Prince of Wales in April. Unfortunately this started a debate, over whether we should have know then that he was suffering from…
In the headlines recently, Morrison’s, John Lewis and Waitrose have all issued statements claiming that they will be removing glitter from their Christmas ranges this year. This includes cards, stickers, wrapping paper and crackers. Glitter is a micro-plastic that gets everywhere, especially in our environment and it takes hundreds of years to degrade. It pollutes our oceans and is ingested…
I think the obvious place to start with this question is to point out that, as she checks in on her cool $780 million sitting non-chalantly in the bank, Kim K probably couldn’t give a flying fig if anyone thinks she’s a feminist or not. Because whether you adoringly pore over her latest #ootd, or you’ve muted all references to…
I feel like miscarriage is such a taboo word and throughout my twenties I was lucky that no one in my immediate friendship circle suffered with one. Having said that, I had always known both my mum and sister had had a miscarriage in their early twenties, yet it was something we didn’t really touch on and looking at it…
What is a professional job hunter I hear you ask? It’s me and countless other people who find themselves without work during this pandemic, sat at the computer after downing three cups of coffee scrolling through yet another job site. Some would call this unemployed, I myself prefer to say professional job hunter. I think it has a better ring…
Did you know that 1 in 6 people experienced a mental health problem, such as anxiety and depression, in the past week? (Source) And thanks to lockdown, this stat will now be much higher. Looking after our mental health, as a nation, has never been more important. This World Mental Health Day (10th October), it’s important for us to not only…
Yesterday I woke and committed the one crime I know I should not …checking socials before even making it out from underneath the covers. Twitter and Insta were abuzz with comments about Chrissy Teigen who I learned had lost the baby whom she had been carrying. If I’m being honest, I hadn’t even been aware that she and her husband,…
