I Can't Believe This Even Needs Saying

I Can’t Believe This Even Needs Saying

So, I’ve been seeing this post lately that a lot of my male friends have been sharing called “A few Male Problems that Need Looking At.” Often these are shared from groups called “I Don’t need Feminism” or “Fuck Feminism” (Classy guys). I find a few of the points on there to be quite… badly researched, I suppose you could call it. Or maybe one sided? I’m not sure, but they certainly aren’t…

Adulting

In this blog I’d like to address the whole concept of being an adult and how many people my age and feel like they’re failing at it, myself included. (more…)

I can’t tell you what living in the world as a man is like; I can’t tell you what living in the world is like as anyone other than myself. I haven’t experienced the world as anything else. The only thing I can tell you is how I have personally experienced the world. Obviously there are some similarities and parallels to how others have lived and experienced life, but no one existence will ever be…

Chasing Happiness

The search for happiness seems to be growing more urgent and prevalent in our highly drive, competitive world. And yet it seems to elude us. How is this possible when we’re looking everywhere? (more…)

The Unsung Heroes

In this day and age I feel like we, as a whole, idolise the wrong people. We look up to people who’ve “made it”. We look up to the money, the fame and the glory and see it as success, and in many ways it really is.

But to me success means a lot more than just having a lot of money and people know your name. Success is facing your demons and conquering them. To me, success is achieving the…

An Explanation...

An Explanation…

I’m very aware that I haven’t posted any new blogs in a while, and there are a few reasons for this.

The first is pretty simple: I’ve been stupid busy for the last few months and aside from not having the energy, I haven’t really had the time. My boyfriend moved in with me, so was preparing for that, then I’ve been travelling and just trying to keep on top of everything else. Unfortunately…

So here’s a little list, some of them are personal lessons, and others are a little more broad. I hope you find them interesting and maybe even take a couple of these to heart.

Trust your gut. It’s got good instincts about a lot of things. When you get the inexplicable…

Feminism (And Why It's Not Actually All About Hating Men)

Feminism (And Why It’s Not Actually All About Hating Men)

The official definition of Feminism is “The political, economic and social equality of sexes.” This is often misinterpreted as “Men VS Women”, but it goes much deeper than that. By that definition Feminism can be applied to all genders or sexes.

The movement originally began in the 1800s and was initially in order to aid women in achieving equality. It was a movement that was created to try and…

My Skincare Routine

As I’ve mentioned in a previous post hereI am getting more serious about my skincare routine lately. After a couple of months of trial an error, I think I’ve finally managed to find one that address most if not all my concerns, and isn’t actually too much effort to do every day. Since having started and kept to this routine, I’ve seen a big improvement in my skin. So noticeable even my boyfriend…

I Matter.

*Disclaimer* I would like to give a bit of back story to this particular piece of writing. This was originally written on my old blog back in May 2017, not long after a particularly awful life event. It was written with a lot of emotion and with nothing but good intentions. It’s probably not my best work, far from it, but I still believe this is an important message and one we need to remember. I…

Triple Action Illuminating Black Moisturiser Review

Triple Action Illuminating Black Moisturiser Review

I recently turned 25 and for some reason have suddenly become very concerned about aging. Not 100% sure what the massive difference between 24 and 25 is, but I’m officially a quarter of a century old. There ya go. I’m concerned.

Anywho, I’ve spent the last couple of days scouring the shelves for anything that looks promising. It involved a lot of reading as re-assuring sales assistants “no, I’m…

My Thoughts on Online Dating and Why it Could be Killing Our Love Lives There’s no denying that online dating is a large part of our society today. It’s become a two billion dollar industry with 40 million Americans trying it at least once.
