You gotta rock what you got
What makes a person beautiful? Surely, the beauty standards of today are historically universal? Wrong. Despite the human form remaining biologically the same, the "ideal" is ever changing. Body image is an ephemeral ideal, bound to change and transform. So next time you feel that your body is anything but perfect, take a look at [...]
Hello everybody! Sometimes doing our hair can be like trying to lick your elbow or read with your eyes shut... impossible. Confession: I'm 21 and I still get anxiety over brushing my hair after the shower. It's just so hit and miss. Will the brush glide through my hair? Or will it feel like I'm [...]
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 [...]

Realising you did the wrong readings. Sitting next to 'that person' who knows everything and wants to debate everything too. Putting the bins out and realising your flat live like animals. When [...]
You know when you have a leotard wedgie or stick your thumb through your tights? Thats what this blog is about. All the irritating things clothes can do that make you want to walk around naked! Trying to avoid your clothes touching the toilet floor. Bane. Of. My. Life. London is one of my favourite [...]
Hello everybody! I love writing my 'Girl Struggles' Posts, so I decided to do one based on the struggles through autumn and winter. 1) Static hair clinging to your cheeks and mouth. 2) Getting hair caught in your lip gloss 3) Hat hair, that look all girls avoid. 4) Sweatiness… jumpers and coats are a [...]

Plus, on a more catastrophic note, the world literally wouldn’t exist without women #girlpower. But in today’s blog I’m going to talk about the realities of being a girl. The #girlstruggles. Here are the [...]
