You gotta rock what you got
Hello everybody, Wanna know what can kiss my a**? Impossible beauty standards. I saw the latest Calvin Klein 'plus size' model advert the other day and it's bonkers. Beauty standards are impossible because everyone is different. I will never look like the retouched perfection of women in ads. It's so easy (especially when companies like [...]
Hello! Summer: the sun is shining, the flowers are out, there's a freakin' heat wave and your legs are burning (for some of us!). The heat can make you sweat and that sweat collects in placed where skin touches skin-no matter what body type. The friction can cause mega discomfort. Recently I heard a really nasty [...]
Hello! It's summer. Tis' the season where I have to invest in razors and whack out the dolphins. Dolphins: a smoothly shaved leg (please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks my legs feel like dolphins when I shave them?!) (Man-dolphins... when you don't shave your legs... for like a really long time... [...]
Hello everybody! Sometimes we give our bodies a hard time and we need reminding that we are human. I don't think that saying we're 'only human' is a great phrase... because quite frankly humans are pretty damn awesome. We, as humans, are made up of 95% water. Aka. you're basically a cucumber... The human body contains enough [...]
Lately, I've been focussing on taking a chill pill. I have become one of those people who get overly frustrated by dawdlers. I end up going to a dark place when walking behind those that should be in, what I would call, the slow-lane of life. I've often thought that if I were to become PM, I would [...]
In a world that is so stressful and highly emotionally charged, it’s easy to take on other people’s problems. Research has even shown that emotions can be contagious, you can potentially ‘catch’ fear, anger and joy from people without even realising it. This is something I know I do. I am very susceptible to ‘catching’ [...]
16 million people in the UK experience a mental illness. 3 in 4 mental illnesses start in childhood. 75% of young people with mental health problems are not being treated. Suicide is the biggest killer of young people in the UK. A study recently showed that more than A THIRD of teenage girls in England suffer from depression [...]
Forever a home bird, I found moving out and going to University difficult. Despite people telling me about this incredible new chapter/ season/ adventure I was about to experience, I honestly wasn't overly buzzed to go. Which sounds dreadful, because most people I speak to are so excited for University. That's not to say I [...]
Recently, I have been in a bit of a funk. There is so much to be said for being happy. I can complain as much as the next girl, but there is nothing better than being content. Sometimes I find it really hard to be positive and it can feel like things just go wrong- All. The. [...]
To support International Women's Day, President Trump, Melania and Ivanka showed their support over social media. I thought it would be pretty fitting to point out the hypocrisy of these tweets, and look at the bigger picture. Donald Trump has quite literally been accused of sexually assaulting and harassing women on several different occasions. This seems [...]
