Roald Dahl is the ingenious creator of characters such as Matilda, Willy Wonka, The Twits and Mr Fox who coloured our childhood and taught us some of lifes' most valuable lessons. The 13th of September is National Roald Dahl Day and I thought it an ideal time to share the most important lesson he showed [...]
I am Bronwyn. My closest friends and family call me Bee. I have a little scar next to my eye from standing on a chair in nursery, shouting at the top of my lungs for a marmite sandwich and an undying love for foam bananas. I'm terrified of zombies (despite the fact I know they don't exist). [...]
I am a free, independent woman, who don’t need no man. (This is not to say I don’t very much appreciate my man, but that’s by the by!) I have always been very set on this. My life is my life. People can add to it, but my life will always remain exactly that- mine. [...]
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.

To be physically fitand active, and eat a healthy balanced diet. And mentally fit, whereby (to avoid [...]
Hi everybody, I have recently turned 21. And with this came the realisation that I'm no longer a teen. I mean, that was obvious when I turned 20 as well, but it really hit home on my 21st birthday. I'm no longer just out of my teenage years. I'm in my twenties. It got me thinking. I experienced [...]
Hello everybody! I find reading about other peoples problems and thinking 'yay, I'm not the only one who does that' is oddly reassuring in life! So today's blog is all about the awkward moments in life. I think I should point out these are all 'First-World Problems'. If you didn't know what that means, it [...]
This blog post was inspired by Natalie Leanne’s Blog Post that I read on the train journey home the other day. I’m super nosy and love learning more about people. Natalie’s Blog is so open and just so relatable- I highly recommend checking her blog out (natalieleanne.com). On that note, I am going to share [...]
