Every girl has had to suffer through the awkward, uncomfortable moment where a boy says “I love you” during sex. Just as every boy has, at one time, uttered those three little words and then promptly looked like he wanted to throw himself out of the window.

How to Find Time for New Friends as a Twenty-Something

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]A[/eltd_dropcaps] stranger on the internet invited me to join her for a witchcraft session this week and I couldn’t be more excited. Anna* and I met via Instagram – she’s a writer, I’m a writer, we both live near the same city – my new friend radar started honking in my ear from the first hopeful glance at her Instagram feed. Images of frothy artisanal coffee next to a well-poised laptop and book had me cracking out the multi-coloured friendship bracelet thread.

Creating a Timeless, Winter Wardrobe

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]S[/eltd_dropcaps]ustainability is a thing we often pass by and don’t take into account when funding the newest fads; what does sustainable really mean? How can we really be sustainable, in a world where fast fashion is the newest way to shop?

Managing burn out at Christmas

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]C[/eltd_dropcaps]hristmas is a time for celebration, fun and gathering around the ones you love. However, with the parties, planning and juggling multiple balls, it may also lead to stress, exhaustion and even burnout. The pace in December is quicker than most other months, and there huge expectations, more pressure and so much to prepare for; all whilst still getting on with your usual daily routine around work, family and general life and admin.

The Good Life: Learning To Live Again

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]t was three years ago. I was completely fucked.

In and out of hospital, barely able to haul my petrified body out of bed. Diagnoses of leptospirosis, post viral syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, postural hypotension, sensory intolerance, multiple food intolerances, oesophagitis, gastritis, peripheral neuropathy, neurological damage, histamine intolerance, anxiety, and ‘tropical disease unspecified’ attached themselves to my identity with more velocity than getting five different colours permanently streaked through my hair and buying baggy ripped jeans did when I was seventeen—who was I now? A medical anomaly. A sick person. Fucked.

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]W[/eltd_dropcaps]hen my first daughter Violet was born, my life turned upside down. I thought I was ready for motherhood but honestly, NOTHING can prepare you – the earth-shattering, heart-stopping moment you are handed that warm, slightly sticky, gooey new bundle to love is quite frankly the most daunting moment of my life, but also the very best moment too.

Why Heading Into The Wild Helped My Depression

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]S[/eltd_dropcaps]tepping away from the chaos of the city allowed me to clear my mind and assess what is really important in life.

Make Someone’s Day

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]t’s November; our summer holiday is a distant memory, and we’re not quite ready for the carefree attitude and glittering excitement of December. It’s dark, cold and all too easy to feel a bit sorry for ourselves. Need cheering up? I’m a big believer in self-care, and making someone else feel good is an incredibly powerful and less obvious way to break a negative cycle.
