A month in now. More than a month. And that just seems crazy. Raging hormones, slight homesickness and just general frustration at life have led me for the second time this week to sitting on a park bench crying. But, I have the best view. The bench overlooks a gorgeous old tree whose trunk is […]
Read More year abroad :: emotionOkay so, I should really be concentrating on getting things sorted for France…BUT there’s a current topic floating around the media that I just have to talk about. I’m entitling this post ‘self’ because that’s exactly what it’s going to be about. I was watching Loose Women a month ago now – youthful programme I know […]
Read More life :: selfOne past experience has chance my outlook on love forever. I can't really say I was in love but who knows. Love is powerful and overcomes you, and makes you blind. You don't see how someone is crippling you until after a relationship ends. "Your intelligence intimidates me" is a line from a guy that I will […]
Read More love :: the greatestSELF-LOVE I realised something today: I get over things easily because I've learned to love myself. I am who I am, and it has take me years to be at peace with so many parts of myself, so now that I am, I can't just throw that peace to the ground and crumble. This self-love […]
Read More love :: worthyBeauty was always a side-line to my love of fashion until I undertook the role of Fashion & Beauty Editor of SCAN.

Read More beauty :: graphicIt’s quite hard sometimes to be a “milennial” (despite being born in the nineties) and a Christian. It’s challenging. Although as a society, we’re a lot more accepting, we’re also a lot more defensive yet on the attack at the same time. So, adding Christianity to this battle already can make muddling through the early years […]
Read More love :: rainbowYou could say that with finishing second year, life has slowed down. But in no way is that a reality. Despite summer beginning, and my 20th birthday passing (the Friday just gone Thursday eek!), I still find myself busy. But not “busy” busy, you know that kind of busy when you think you’re busy but […]
Read More life :: new beginningsI’m an impatient bugger. I try so hard to slow down and be a little more patient. But often, I find myself racing life and experiences etc etc. I do still enjoy everything, especially to begin with. However after a while, I find myself bored. Learning to pace myself and pace the things I want […]
Read More life :: paceSince I’ve covered dating more than once, and a host of other topics, I thought why not discuss an important part of growing up: friendships. I’m not going to focusing on ‘making’ friends, but rather friendships and what they mean to me, and what they could/should mean to you. THEY ARE NOT EASY Friendships go […]
Read More life :: friendshipsThis post is being written at a time when I know there’s people in my world dealing with stuff. I hope my reflection on this topic will help someone and begin a healing process. HEARTBREAK When heartbreak happens, it’s like being gutted with a knife like a fish. But, the thing to remember is you’re […]
