Warning: this blog is a complete brain dump of all the intense thoughts that come into my mind about body image, social constructs and mental health. I come to no conclusion nor do I feel I have the right to give any advice on these topics, but I hope that it at least helps some […]
OK so I am a officially a vlogger now LOL… I’ve spent the past 3 weeks trying to find different ways to eat without having to chew. No, I am not just trying to challenge myself in very absurd ways – I recently had a BRACE fitted on my lower set of teeth and have […]
I went to the see Amy Schumer’s new film ‘I Feel Pretty’ on Friday night and the story got to me so much that I started writing as soon as I got home. I mean, after all of the drinking and socialising and things that a normal person would do on a Friday night, of […]
It’s hard to keep a balanced diet when you’re not happy with yourself. Up until the past few years, I have never really been happy with my body. I remember finding an old diary of mine from age 7, thinking that I’d open it to find notes about the boys I fancied in school and […]
Last week I got promoted and handed my notice into my London job within the same 24 hours. This type of thing would only happen to me. ‘Ironic’ by Alanis Morissette is revolving round and round in my head, and I’m sweating at the fact I’m leaving the company I have worked for for the […]

My sister is vegan and despite constantly sending her memes and making fun of her for talking about it 24/7, […]
It’s January 1st 2017 – precisely 1 week past Christmas, meaning I’m sitting here thanking the Universe that the copious Instagram uploads of Michael Kors watches and designer bags lined up in a row alongside the caption ‘Boy did good’ have finally come to an end. * Rolls eyes; hides Michael Kors watch from a […]
The last 3 weeks have been some of the most stressful of my life; so much so that last week, I cried for 60 whole minutes on the tube home from work. I know what you’re thinking – my work commute is an hour each way – madness, isn’t it? But back to me crying […]
2 years ago, I moved to London to pursue my first adult job; hopes were high of Made in Chelsea-esque social scenes, cocktails and endless fashionable outfits. These dreams were soon crushed when I received my first pay cheque and the harsh reality truly hit: 70% of my salary does not belong to me. Like most girls in their […]
